Hi, I'm Claire!
I’m a recipe developer, cooking teacher and the author of Dinner, Uncomplicated: Fixing a Delicious Meal Every Night of the Week and Uncomplicated: Taking the Stress out of Home Cooking. Making food easy, fun and delicious is what I do best. Come for the uncomplicated recipes and game-changing tips and tricks, but stay for the bad puns and good laughs.
I can’t wait to cook with you. All students also get lifetime access to a recording of the class, so you can cook with me or on your own time (or both!)

What a great class! Claire, you are really breaking down how dinner can be uncomplicated!!

Class: Favours To your Future Self
What a fun afternoon! We had the bolognese last night for dinner - teriyaki chicken is on the menu tonight. Between what we made yesterday and what I already have in the house. I don't have to think about a single dinner all week! Whew! I can actually spend some time doing a few other things around here. So happy! I do hope you do this again - with maybe a few different recipes - I'd be up for that. Thanks Claire

I can't wait to use my gorgeous pesto this month. Everything turned out so well, and I would not have gotten as many lovely meals into my freezer as a favour to my future self without you. So fun!!!! Thanks and see you again soon, I hope.
