The CookAbility team.
Venetia Cameron-Rose and Tricia Samways started the Company in 1997 to teach the basics of cookery - and beyond.
Venetia - loves trying new recipes and ideas and has a wonderful flair for presentation and garnishes. Canapes, Starters and Puddings are her specialities. 
Tricia - likes to try meat dishes and main meals with a mix of sweet and savoury flavours to compliment Venetia's starters and puds. She finds menu planning and turning traditional recipes into CookAbility specials a real challenge and great fun.Sharon Osmond - our very own 'cockney sparrar' - ever practical and always comes up trumps.
Jude Taylor: Equally at home preparing a dinner party or a family meal Jude is a real asset to the kitchen and provides great support and encouragement to the students.
Janet Sharland: Having run her own catering business for years Janet brings calm and a wealth of knowledge to the kitchen helping students create many varied dishes.
Guest appearances for a master class in knife skills and garnishes are often made on an inpromptu basis by Tricia's husband, Peter, who has a Diploma in Hotel Management and Catering Operations with many years experience in the business.
