FAQ’s
-
During our coaching calls, simply have the video come through on your phone or laptop like you do for any normal video call.
Take the device into the kitchen with you and have the camera facing you and your cooking area (cutting board etc). Somewhere we can still see and hear each other.
A laptop is preferred but if you're using your phone, you might find it helpful to put a large cookbook or another heavy object behind it to keep it propped up.
-
My teaching style uses a hybrid coaching approach. Sometimes I demonstrate essential skills to provide a clearer visual guide, while at other times, I step back to focus solely on coaching and guiding you. This allows for a more engaged learning experience without the distraction of multitasking.
-
All coaching sessions are 60 minutes long.
-
Yes, we'll discuss an ingredient list ahead of time.
Most recipes use everyday staple ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen, and I encourage substitutions based on seasonality and availability to keep it as easy, as sustainable, and as realistic as possible for you.
-
Yes, absolutely. My coaching is centered around methods and knowledge that can be applied to any diet.
Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, or have any other dietary requirements, I will work with you to accommodate your dietary needs and preferences.
-
My teaching focuses heavily on plant-based ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes. It does also include small amounts of eggs, dairy, and unprocessed meat and seafood.
However, our sessions are tailored to your preferences, so if you prefer a 100% plant-based diet (or have any other dietary requirements), just let me know. I am well versed in accommodating all dietary needs and am more than happy to customise the sessions to fit your preferences.

"I have been lucky enough to have Amy support me on my cooking journey. I love her unique take on making cooking fun, and helped me try new things. I’ve also attended events when Amy has catered and her food is delish. I couldn’t recommend her more, whether you need lessons, advice, recipes or catering. She is your one stop shop. Highly recommend. YUM!"
