DofE International - We Teach Teenagers from All Around the World to Cook
Aug 24, 2026
The power of the internet is a pretty incredible thing! It has allowed us to turn a cooking class into a global community. Today, we’re teaching teenagers from every corner of the globe how to master the kitchen as part of their Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) International Award Skills Section.
Whether you’re in a Sussex or Sydney, London or Lake Tekapo, the goal remains the same: building life skills, one delicious dish at a time.
How It Works
We know that teenagers lead busy lives, regardless of where you are. That’s why we’ve designed our courses to be as flexible as possible.
Here is how it works:
-
Real-Time Cookalongs: Our sessions are pre-recorded, meaning you get the benefit of a professional "cookalong" experience where you can follow in real-time.
-
Total Flexibility: You can access the lessons any time, anywhere.
-
A Universal Kitchen: Our recipe bank is packed with colorful, vibrant dishes. We’ve designed our courses so that you can always find something seasonal that works with the ingredients available to you - if you're struggling, just get in touch.
-
Tutor Feedback: Send us one photo of each recipe being being cooked, and one of the finished result, and we will send back personalised feedback via email to help you become a really confident cook. Your photos work as evidence for your DofE Assessor Reports.
We Take Care of the Paperwork
To make things easy for you, we will act as your official DofE Assessor for your Skills Section. Once you’ve completed the course, we file your assessor’s report directly with the DofE International Award online. It’s a seamless way to tick off your Skills section while learning a skill for life.
See What Our Students Are Making
We are so proud of our international cohort. You can head over to our website to check out student portfolios from those who have already completed their awards with us in Australia and New Zealand. Their creativity and progress are proof that with a little bit of Wi-Fi and a handful of enthusiasm, anyone can become a confident cook.

We hate SPAM. We will never share your information, for any reason and we don't bombard our students with emails - we are too busy teaching them to cook.
