Rachel Kirkwood
Tutor
Rachel’s love of cooking began as a child helping her mother make a range of delicious cakes and pastries for the family. Before teaching at Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School, Rachel completed Pru Leith's short advanced course and Bishop Burton's "School of Food and Wine" and the City and Guilds courses where she was taught by another of the schools tutors, Linda Latus!
Linda Latus
Tutor
Linda first discovered her passion for food as a student at Bishop Burton College. Mastering the skills to produce good, flavourful food was inspirational to her and this lead to second passion, teaching. Linda returned to Bishop Burton College as a lecturer where she taught for 26 years.
Sally Gardner
Tutor
In addition to working as a cook for private clients in lodges and houses around the country, Sally also works as a chef in an Edinburgh-based catering company. She works as a freelance cookery teacher at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School, which is where she trained in 2015.
Prior to embarking on her cooking career, she worked as a secondary English teacher for ten years, so teaching is very much part of who she is and something she loves doing.
Alison Johnson
Business Development Manager
Alison has been part Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School since opening in 2010. Although having no previous experience in the catering or food industry she has always held a passion for fine food and is delighted to be helping run this increasingly popular venue for families, friends and business colleagues.
