Our Story

Food Is the Language
We All Speak

The Slow Kitchen was founded by Chef Isabelle Fontaine in 2012 after a decade cooking in Michelin-starred restaurants in Lyon and New York. Frustrated by fast food and faster recipes, she came home and opened a small kitchen studio with one ambition: teach people to cook thoughtfully, eat seasonally, and share food joyfully.

Today, The Slow Kitchen runs 40+ classes a month across five cooking disciplines, hosts private dinners, and ships seasonal ingredient kits to home cooks across the country.

Student Stories

Straight From the Kitchen

"I joined as a complete beginner who could barely boil an egg. Six months later I am hosting dinner parties and genuinely enjoying being in the kitchen. Isabelle's teaching style is patient, warm, and deeply inspiring."

"The French Classics Evening was the best date night gift I have ever given. We cooked together, drank great wine, and ate food we were genuinely proud of. Already booked the Italian class next month."

"The Annual Chef's Pass pays for itself within three months if you use it properly. But beyond the economics — I genuinely look forward to every class as the highlight of my week."

Questions

Frequently Asked

Absolutely not. Most of our classes are designed to be accessible to all skill levels. Classes that require prior knowledge are clearly marked "Intermediate" or "Advanced." If you are unsure, contact us and we will recommend the perfect starting class.

All classes are limited to a maximum of 12 students. This ensures everyone gets hands-on time with the chef, individual feedback, and a genuinely personal experience — rather than watching from the back of a large auditorium.

Yes — gift vouchers are available for single classes, class bundles, and memberships. They can be personalised with a message and emailed or printed instantly. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from purchase and redeemable for any class.

Yes. Please note dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies) at the time of booking. Our chefs adapt ingredients and techniques for all dietary needs. We cannot guarantee a fully nut-free environment but always accommodate specific allergies with advance notice.

Classes cancelled with 72+ hours notice receive a full credit toward a future booking. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable but transferable to another person. No-shows forfeit the class fee. Memberships can be paused for up to 4 weeks per year.
