I done the gluten free bread and gluten free pizza. The class was fun, recipes and instructions were included.
Janet was an amazing teacher and was hands on with everyone.
Love this experience would recommend any one to do this.

Janet was great and she was super informative and clear with her instructions about the cooking methods. I went to the gluten free pizza and bread making course and made one of the tastiest gluten free baguettes I’ve ever had!

My husband, our seven year old son and I attended Janet’s Buche de Noele workshop on December 20th with a small group of friends and we had the best time ever. Janet is an extraordinary chef and a patient teacher and all of our Yule logs turned out perfectly. They tasted delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. Janet even catered for the fact that I am gluten free providing a gluten free flour for my Yule logs. I cannot recommend the Yellow Door Kitchen highly enough.

We had a fantastic time at Janet’s Bûche de Noël class at The Yellow Door Kitchen! My sister-in-law, two girlfriends, and I all loved it. The class was the perfect mix of instruction and hands-on fun. Janet explained everything step by step, answered all our questions, and made the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone from me (a beginning baker) to seasoned cake-makers (my sister-in-law and her bestie).
The whole experience was fun, inspiring, and delicious (chocolate buttercream … need I say more?), and it made for a great girls’ day out that really got us into the Christmas spirit. The cooking school space itself is lovely, as is Janet with her warm, welcoming teaching style. One of her classes would make a fantastic birthday or Christmas present for family and friends. We’re already looking forward to booking another class with Janet in the new year!

We had a fantastic day cooking at the Yellow Door Kitchen as part of Team Building Day. Janet was amazing and the food was delicious. Add in a glass of wine and this is the perfect event!

My husband and I recently did the Fresh Pasta & Sicilian Orange Cake Class and we had the best time.
Behind the Yellow Door, Janet has created a spot for people to create, have fun, relax, be together and meet other people.
Our cooking time with Janet was fantastic. We loved making the pasta from scratch. We made the two sauces and cake together as a group (there were 4 of us so it still felt special) which was a good because then we ate together.
And there are no words that can adequately describe the flavour…The food was a taste sensation. Janet teamed this with a gorgeous bottle of red wine for us. We loved it. 💝
I highly recommend cooking with Janet behind the Yellow Door in Tighes Hill.
