TESTIMONIALS
Nice dishes on my first day back. I know the owner from a very long time and cooked so many dishes from a long time ago when I was here, when I was little. Simply lovely.
“My son has been coming to Sticky Fingers since mid last year and absolutely loves it. It has already taught him so many valuable life skills and I’m so thrilled this program exists.”
Just wanted to give you a shout-out and positive feedback on your addition of the shopping list on the recipes!
You don't understand how helpful that is for me (and Cohen!) when shopping! Game changer when looking in the cupboard to before we attempt a recipe he's done!
"It's stress-free and easy to learn. Plus, we get to have a celebration at the end of each term."
"I like the pictures and all of the recipes and getting cuddles from everyone each week."
"It's nice to follow recipes by the pictures. Easy to see every step."
"I like the conversations we have and the cooking we do."
"When you come to cooking, you forget about anything else that has happened in your day."
"I like trying new recipes here that I haven't done before."
"I like to meet new people and cook alongside them."
"My home kitchen routines have changed for the better since starting to cook with Sticky Fingers Kitchen."
“My son did the holiday cooking class with Emma and her team on Tuesday 6th October. He had an awesome time and wouldn't stop talking about what they cooked. He got given a chef's hat and printed copies of the recipes and has carried them around everywhere since, even took them to bed hehe!! Thanks, Emma and the other 2 lovely ladies who were there helping (can't remember their names sorry) for making his class such a memorable experience!! He can't wait to do the weekly classes with you all soon. “

“Awesome Activity for people with disabilities. My ward and I as a disability support worker enjoy our classes. Chicken Enchiladas, Sausage stroganoff, Banana cake, the unforgettable Mango Tiramisu, and other goodies we cook every Wednesday, enjoying food and socializing. Thanks Emma. Your work is excellent!”
“My daughter attended one of the school holiday cooking classes and absolutely loved it! She came home and made her very own scrambled eggs the next morning. We will definitely be going back! Thank you Emma.”
