Chef Paula Mainstone

I do not have any formal training but have a passion for food, wine and people. I love reading recipe books, watching cooking programs and eating out and trying new dishes. For the last 5 and a half years I have been working part time at an interactive cooking school where we do interactive cooking sessions with guests, corporate team builds, masterchef cook offs, kids parties, private catering, private cooking sessions at peoples homes.,etc, etc. We cook different types of cuisine and work on new recipes constantly. I love the buzz of cooking in a big group but I also love working privately in someones home with the family/guests, either cooking for them or having them cook some elements with me. I also love guiding/teaching people who are not confident cooking on their own for their guests, but love entertaining. This is why, now I would love to do more private cheffing.
