Dear Sir/Madam

MARTIN YEO (CHEF INSTRUCTOR)


Martin was kind enough to agree to give our family private culinary classes at home. We needed to have the home lessons as we wanted to ensure that we could use the new skills and recipes in the context of our pre-existing kitchen and appliances.

He conducted a series of 5 classes for us, where he taught how to create more innovative Western dishes, but based on our taste palate. As we have to prepare recipes for family members who have issues with diabetes, cholesterol and gout, Martin was able to modify recipes which would meet those dietary restrictions and still be extremely tasty. Not only did we learn new recipes and new skills in the kitchen, we also learned how we could adapt existing favourite recipes to meet the diet requirements.

Martin is currently in the middle of a course to teach our novice 10-year old son how to cook basic dishes. Jonathan now knows how to make pizza and pasta from scratch and, more importantly, has confidence and basic survival skills in the kitchen.

We're really looking forward to learning more from Martin, and are currently trying to structure a series on how to cook traditional local dishes.
Sincerely



Stefanie Yuen Thio
