Sara Danesin

Sara Danesin grew up in a traditional Italian family, and like most Italians she is passionate about food. Her strong Venetian background reflects in her cooking style, being all about simplicity, using a handful of top-quality, seasonal ingredients to create modern, stylish Italian cuisine.

After a career in nursing, Sara followed her culinary dream and reached the final of Masterchef in 2011, which she describes as one of the most important events of her life, which opened up many doors in the world of food. Sara started the hugely successful Sara @ St John’s, York’s first Supper Club which hosted over 12000 guests. Following this she had numerous stints in Michelin starred kitchens, including Michel Roux’s Le Gavroche in London.

As well as being part of Divertimenti Cookery Schools core teaching team, Sara is also kept very busy as chef consultant for the Italian pasta brand Garofalo, and chef consultant for an airport-based restaurant franchise responsible for their menu development, staff training and in-house implementation.

You will be learning in a beautifully designed kitchen which provides a warm welcoming environment that can accommodate everything from group cookery classes to intimate chef’s tables, with the versatility to suit everyone.

Our partners have been chosen with great care, as all our equipment must stand up to the day-to-day rigours of our cookery school – much like a professional kitchen, that you can enjoy using whilst creating your own amazing dishes in class to give you the best possible experience when cooking with us.

Our classes and outstanding range of teachers will help you hone your gastronomic skills, even if you are a complete novice or a dab hand in the kitchen. We love highlighting new upcoming food trends and championing the rising stars within the culinary world.
