About Suzie
Hello, Students in London, Uk & Toronto, CA!
I help home cooks break free from rigid recipes through bespoke cookery courses that build confidence, creativity, and control in the kitchen. By mastering essential skills and techniques, exploring global cuisines, and working with fresh, whole foods, you’ll learn to cook instinctively. This means creating meals that truly suit your taste, lifestyle, and dietary needs with ease.
Cooking is my meditation, my reset button, and my way of nourishing both body and mind. It keeps me healthy, curious, and grounded. I am constantly learning and evolving in the kitchen, and everything I discover is passed on to my students in a down to earth, digestible way. Teaching is my passion, and empowering others to feel calm and confident in the kitchen is what fuels me every day.
I founded Suzie Battishill Culinary Coaching, in London, Uk in 2023. In 2025 I moved out to Toronto, Ontario. I am now working with clients in both online in the UK & Toronto (GTA)

I’m on a mission to transform the way you cook at home, for good. I create tailored, practical solutions that fit around your lifestyle, work commitments, family needs, budget, and health goals. Just like a personal trainer helps you build strength at the gym, I help you build confidence and skill in your own kitchen. This happens over weeks and months, not through one off lessons. This is real, lasting change.

Perfect! Suzie has really helped me develop my cooking skills. She is great at explaining and makes the classes really enjoyable.Highly recommend
- It has been a joy to teach peter some basic cookery skills! He has improved leaps and bounds!Suzie's response :
Perfect! Suzie has taken the time to get to know me and my goals and to tailor my course specifically. It’s been so helpful - maybe life changing! - to reorganise my kitchen and learn how to stock the pantry and how to navigate a grocery store! It’s all coming together and I’m starting to really enjoy being in my kitchen. Thank you, Suzie!!
- I have had a great series of lessons with Natalie. It has been wonderful to see her grow in confidence in the kitchen and get excited about trying new things! She is a natural cook!Suzie's response :
Perfect! I am thoroughly enjoying Suzie’s culinary coaching course. Suzie’s approach is warm and fully personalised. Her ability to adapt what I’m learning to suit our family with small children has been brilliant - at the end of stir frying my children were eating cabbage, which would just have never happened before! From taking a day out to explore food shopping together to knife skills, and everything in between, her depth of training and expertise is profuse. We’ve left no stone unturned, so I understand why we’re doing things in a certain way which means I’ll never forget it. I highly recommend this course with Suzie- you won’t regret it!
- Linzi has been a pleasure to teach! We have have arranged a series of 12 lessons to which Linzi has been learning very quickly and I have been happy to see her putting our practice into action throughout her week. I have been so enjoying watching Linzi grow and develop her new skill set:)Suzie's response :
Perfect! Suzie has been amazing. She is very knowledgeable and has taught me loads of cooking skills that I never knew existed! Also, we are working on me boosting my confidence and cooking from scratch, without relying on a cookbook which has been fantastic. She even went as far as organising by cupboards and kitchen layout to maximize the chances of me actually cooking and it has worked! :-) She is also very friendly too. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Perfect! Thoroughly enjoying working with Suzie - she took the time before our lessons to understand what I was looking for, and what excites and what holds me back when it comes to cooking.
She’s great to work with, has loads of tips that go far beyond technique, and the lessons are fun and produce delicious food. Cannot recommend highly enough.- Nakul was a great student, his knife skills developed very quickly and I could see he has been practicing outside of class. I would happily have more lessons with Nakul in the future and help take his skills to the next level!Suzie's response :
Perfect! Susie's cooking lessons for me and my 10 year-old son have been fantastic - we have learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves!
- I have had a couple of lessons so far with Tom and Eli they are both lovely and we have had some fun in the kitchen mastering knife skills. Eli has had a very positive attitude and an eagerness to learn. Tom has taken to knife skills very quickly and I look forward to continuing with them over the coming weeks! Brilliant studentsSuzie's response :
Perfect! Abbie has had some superb lessons. Suzanna is fantastic teacher and has helped my daughter to not only prepare healthy meals but to enjoy preparing meals
- Abbie and I have made some great progress so far. We are doing a weekly session for the forceable future. Abbie is growing confidence in part taking in lessons and she has had the courage to try new foods!Suzie's response :

Working with Suzie has been such a joy! Not only does she have incredible technical knowledge, but she’s also someone I genuinely enjoy spending time with. Her classes feel like cooking with a good friend easy, fun, and full of good conversation as you move around the kitchen. She completely opened up my palate, and for the first time in my life, I actually enjoy healthy food. Highly recommend!
Suzie is super-focused, professional and brings so much attention and energy to her teaching. I am aged 56 and a mother of five children and I have cooked a lot of meals. I was feeling stuck and stale in the kitchen - Suzie re-energised me. She gave me confidence and the skills to create nourishing and exciting new meals - she gave me my mojo back. This is a five gold stars and beyond recommendation for Suzie.
I signed up for 8 lessons with Suzie to learn more on basics of cooking so that I would spend less money eating out.
Not only did she teach me what I asked, she also showed me that cooking can be enjoyable, and instilled important principles from how to pick groceries, to being organised in the kitchen, and healthy eating.
All the way she was kind, reliable, and patiently tolerated my lame jokes.
Had a fantastic experience overall and would strongly recommend to anyone interested. Thank you Suzie!Highly recommend, if fact I could not recommend anyone better! Suzie is wonderful in everyway, so very talented in cooking however masters personalisation and bespoke needs to a T.
Thank you for everything you've done from building my confidence to teaching me so much- THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH :)Suzie is a natural teacher and has raised my cooking skills and confidence from a low base. She concentrates on the fundamentals in a way that is fun and encourages using your own senses rather than leaning on a recipe too much. Highly recommended.
Engaging with Suzie as my cooking and food coach has been an absolute delight. Her effervescent personality brings a vibrant energy to every session, making the experience enjoyable and educational. Suzie possesses a remarkable ability to simplify the art of cooking, ensuring that even those who feel less confident in the kitchen can discover their capabilities. What impressed me most was her thorough understanding of my needs. I challenged her with a request for simple, healthy vegan meals that could be prepared quickly due to time constraints, and she exceeded my expectations by ticking all the boxes, and then some.
In our first session, Suzie demonstrated the mastery of knife skills, turning what I thought was a mundane task into an art form. Not only did this significantly reduce prep time, but it also enhanced safety in the kitchen. I am grateful to Suzie for elevating my confidence and skill level. Cooking with her became the highlight of my week, and I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an enjoyable and educational cooking experience. Suzie consistently shows up with positive energy, making each session a joyous culinary adventure.Suzie, has been helping me in the kitchen over the past year. Her dedication has transformed not just my diet but my entire approach to cooking. Her lessons have dismantled the misconception that quick and easy meals compromise on health!
She has tailored practical solutions that align with my lifestyle, work commitments, and budget. With Suzie's guidance, I have taken big steps to eating a much healthier diet while honing my kitchen skills one at a time.
She goes beyond by teaching practical cooking techniques, valuable kitchen skills, and organisational strategies. Suzie is not just a culinary coach; she's a solution to creating a healthy and enjoyable cooking routine. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking confidence and ease in the kitchen!Wow Suzanna! What she managed to fit into a three hour lesson was amazing! She taught me to make a traditional Dahl and then a Pad Thai, along with basic knife skills. She explained so much about why we were doing things certain ways which has really helped me remember them. Most of all though, she shared practical tips on using these recipes and similar ones in everyday life when I’m tired/don’t feel like cooking/don’t have all the ingredients. I feel I have some secret little hacks now, to whip up a tasty and healthy dish inspired by an authentic recipe but with what ever time/ingredients I have available! She was very patient, friendly and knowledgable! Would highly recommend for anyone who likes eating and wants to get better at everyday home cooking!
Suzanna is a fun, patient, knowledgeable chef with a huge amount of skill and energy. Her passion for food education and making cooking accessible for all is incredible and she never fails to make cooking a joyful experience!
I have never had much confidence in the kitchen, but last year I decided I wanted to change that. I was looking for practical skills to help build healthier habits in the kitchen. Suzie has taught me some very basic skills, such as how to chop an onion, and also given me confidence to use new ingredients too. Here knife skills tips have been great and I now have much more ‘freestyle’ in the kitchen and have made some delicious dishes!
I would highly recommend doing a course with Suzie.I had the pleasure of taking a cooking lesson from Suzie, and it was truly amazing. Her passion for cooking was evident from the moment we started. Suzie's teaching style was not only informative but also incredibly engaging. She guided me through the process with patience and skill, making even the most complex dishes seem approachable. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson!
Suzanna is a really great teacher ! She is very knowledgeable about food and how to eat correctly to feel our best ! She is also soo good at creating healthy meals plans that fit into my life, gives me lots of energy and makes me feel my best ! A very tailored service and I will be recommending to others ! Thank you Suzanna !
Despite having cooked for my family for many years, Suzanna’s lesson taught me so many new tips and tricks for stress free cooking and menu planning. She also introduced me to a range of ingredients that will make my weekly meals more nutritious and affordable. She has an easy-going approach and I felt no question was too silly! She really listened to what we wanted to achieve from our lesson. Thank you, I really look forward to our next one.
Suzie is Great! Just what I needed to build my confidence up in the kitchen!
I first met Suzanna when we employed her to cook for a week on summer holiday in Yorkshire with 4 families - 8 adults and many more tiny children. She blew me away. Her calm and considered manner to support all of our needs be it gluten intolerances, grown up three course dinners and kiddy mealtimes meant that we could all relax and enjoy a beautiful holiday whilst everything culinary was taken care of. I then employed her to come and work for my family for 2 months where she lived in and got me confident cooking for young children and friends and family. She lived with us and brought consistent joy and happiness around our kitchen table. Suzanna is magic with food - she taught me how to buy sensibly and thoughtfully in the supermarket, planning meals and freezing food to maximise ease with a busy household. She showed me how to enjoy the process - setting a music playlist to cook to, lighting candles and creating a peaceful environment to not only cook in but also delight in the products of our labour at the table! This girl is a gem - I couldn’t recommend her services more and can’t wait to cook with her for many years ahead.
