Michael Lee-Richards &
The Small Kitchen School

An entertaining and enthusiastic communicator, Michael has taught around the world, from small cooking schools to the elegant foyers of cruise liners, from boutique hotels to the podiums of international food conferences. His passion for food continually draws him overseas to visit restaurants, marketplaces and culinary institutions, both to share his own expertise and to learn from others.

In 1987 Michael started teaching cooking in the dinning room of Michaels Restaurant, now three purpose built teaching kitchens later, Michael has bought the small kitchen school home to Hillside. In the relaxed semi rural surroundings of Governors Bay, Michael offers small intimate inspirational classes in cooking. Delving into his current passion for slow food, simple ingredients and uncomplicated preparation Michael is offering classes for small groups with some hands on practical classes

Starting with coffee, and a nibble. Followed by a class with recipes and rounding off with a relaxed lunch and wine looking out to the glorious views of Governors Bay

Occasionally we have the privilege of hosting classes with visiting foodie’s chefs and cook book authors
