We Believe Cooking Should Feel Natural
Started in 2021, we've been teaching home cooks how to trust their instincts and enjoy the process. No fancy equipment needed—just you, your kitchen, and techniques that actually make sense.
What began as weekend workshops in a small Kyiv studio has grown into something we're genuinely proud of. But the mission hasn't changed: help people cook with confidence.
Where It Started
From One Kitchen to Hundreds
Back in early 2021, our founder Larissa Havrysh noticed something. People wanted to cook better meals at home, but most courses felt either too complicated or painfully basic. Nothing in between.
So she started small. Just hands-on sessions where people could ask real questions and actually cook—not just watch. The approach clicked. Within months, we had more students than we could fit in one space.
Now we teach online and in-person, but we've kept that same hands-on spirit. You learn by doing, not by memorizing recipes you'll never use again.
How We Teach
Simple Methods That Stick
We've tested our approach with over 2,000 students. What we've learned is that people remember techniques when they understand why something works—not just how to follow steps.
Practice Over Theory
You'll spend most of your time actually cooking. We explain the science when it matters, but mostly you're working with ingredients, tasting as you go, and building muscle memory that lasts.
Real Kitchen Challenges
Forgot to defrost the chicken? Ran out of an ingredient halfway through? These things happen. We teach you how to adapt and troubleshoot instead of panicking when recipes don't go perfectly.
Small Group Sessions
Whether online or in-person, we cap our classes at twelve people. That way instructors can actually see what you're doing and give feedback that helps. No lecture halls here.
Build Your Foundation First
We start with knife skills, heat control, and seasoning—the fundamentals that affect everything you cook. Once those feel natural, the fancy stuff becomes way easier to pick up.
What Students Tell Us
The Feedback That Matters Most
We track completion rates and survey everyone who takes our courses. Here's what we hear most often—and what we're working to improve.
- Students say they use what they learned at least three times per week after finishing a course
- Most people tell us they wish they'd taken our knife skills module sooner—it changes everything else
- The seasonal cooking series gets the highest satisfaction scores because people can shop local markets with confidence
- Around 60% of students come back for additional courses within six months, which tells us the foundation stuck
- Biggest request? More troubleshooting sessions for when things go wrong in the kitchen
