If you’re stumped, thinking of what to get literally anyone for Mother’s Day - Margate Cookery School classes are live!!
-
There are so many classes on there. Pasta, Fermentation & Pickling, Sri Lankan, Gyoza, Whiskey, Cocktails, Patisserie…
-
For two weeks in May I am teaching a three course dinner party.
-
In 18 years of cooking professionally, I have had a thousand failures. Each one making me better at what I do.
-
For years I have trained chefs, and that is my teaching experience. Now I get to train non-chefs to work more efficiently and cook better food. I will be teaching basic skills that I use everyday to make my life easier, as well as recipes it’s taken me years to perfect.

Merry Christmas to all!🌲

What a year it’s been. A rollercoaster of emotions at every turn. Making plans, small and big, and never knowing whether they will be going ahead until you’re actually doing them. Exhausted in so many ways! But grateful to be here and to have people around me who I love.
-
I literally have NO idea what 2022 will bring. I don’t know what will come of JLC. I have some thoughts, but also taking it week by week - much like all of us I imagine…
-
I made a Pork Pie wedding cake earlier in the year. (Swipe to see!) Unfortunately some of the couple’s family couldn’t make it to the wedding. They are able to celebrate Christmas with them however, so here is a Christmas replica they can enjoy together 🥰

Lots of love, Jess

Hope you’re all finding moments to feel
Christmassy in and amongst all this. Pudding helps. All my love x

It’s been a thousand years since I’ve made sorbets - it doesn’t work very well on lockdown delivery menus 😝But now that I am getting the opportunity - I still go back to the one I created exactly 5 years ago - for my first ever booking as Jessica Leah Catering.

It’s vodka grapefruit sorbet with a salted rim - inspired by my first customer, who loves the drink, and orders a tub of it annually now! 😌
