Description
Philippa James has always been enthusiastic about cooking. Even as a child she experimented with some early ‘Vicar of Dibley’ style experimental sessions in the family kitchen! She has recently opened a cookery school where she works with clients to tailor-make cookery courses around their individual requirements. She can accommodate 4 to 6 people at a time and can demonstrate a wide range of cookery skills, from complete beginners, to accomplished cooks. Philippa also sells a large variety of her own produce at farmers’ markets including a range of home made preserves in a number of varieties, including Damson & Port, Strawberry & Cointreau and Raspberry & Champagne. She also produces her own Mackerel Paté with home-grown horseradish and vodka. The photographs include a picture of children at a local school where Philippa has been running a cookery course for mothers. On the final week of the course, the children came along try the food that their mothers had prepared. The picture shows the children enjoying 'seconds' of Philippa's chocolate sponge pudding and minty 'Shrek' custard. She is keen to show food lovers how to make wholesome dishes from locally sourced ingredients within minutes!

"Philippa has come a long way since making making potato 'faces' for local village fetes. Chocolate Crispy Cakes and Jelly with her Granny in Somerset, her first badge (Hostess!) at Brownies, and her other Granny's Lemonade Cordial quickly followed and became family favourites. Unlike her first attempts at Shortbread, {'Leadbread!'} which were consigned to the lawn, and half the birds in Lancashire were grounded for at least a week!"Good luck", with everything, now, and in the future...A very proud Mum."(And first time internet user!)

I met Philippa doing a dem at Lakeside Village - very lively, very entertaining and very good food. The chocolate bread went down especially well with Katie (aged 2), and I'm looking forward to visiting the cookery school. Surely she can't have that much energy ALL day....?

Philippa is passionate to show the world how quick and easy it can be to make nutritious, healthy meals for the family without resorting to processed 'ready meals.' Just watch her demos - very entertaining - but with a very clear message. She is also very perseptive to dietry requirements and can accommodate them all. One of her treat foods - Chocolate Pudding - is to die for. Blanhel

I have tried philippas reindeer poo chutney and found it to be extremely good with a selection of cheeses especially with the mirabo walnut ,as the dates compliment the walnut very well. it is no surprise that with philippas friendly and bubbly character that she came up with this novel recipe.

Philippa's cooking demonstrations at Lakeside Village, Doncaster were fantastic. It was a real insight into quick nutritious family food that can be made by all, plus also included a few indulgent treats! Thanks for such a great day! Laura Clarkson

Phillipa is one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated food personalities I have ever come across, as well as having her own fine range of products and services she also spends much of her time helping other producers and educating the public about quality and local food, she truly is a local food hero !!

If you want Local and you want quality than look no further than anything that Philippa does! her work within the local schools helping mums to regain their cooking skills is fantatic. She is a wonder and she makes the world a brighter place. A vote for Philippa is a vote for the future of quality food in the northwest. Stephen lowe
