Welcome

Cooking Classes and Nutrition Coaching in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

My name is Viki. I am a qualified Nutrition Coach and specialise in Culinary Medicine. I am also a mum of two young girls and a self-taught chef.

Twiddle is my “passion child”, born out desperation to deal with my daughter’s fussy eating habits. It was a side hustle for 5 years while juggling family life and my corporate job. I worked in anti-money laundering compliance for 15 years for DLA Piper, most of this spent managing a large centralised international team.

After having children my priorities changed and being diagnosed with IBS put things into a different perspective. Having developed health issues that the doctors tried to medicate me for (for the rest of my life) pushed me to find a better way to live. I re-qualified as a Culinary Medicine Coach that helped me not just to heal myself and manage my IBS but also to coach others to get better too. In 2023, I finally I left the corporate world so that I could concentrate on my family and focus on making Twiddle a full time job.

My mission is to help you tune into your body more to become healthier and happier. I believe that we all have the ability to be the best versions of ourselves and are able to make the necessary changes too. Sometimes we just need a little nudge and an expert who can assist in speeding the process up.

I am passionate about guiding you, teaching you and inspiring you to achieve this! I am here to be your companion on this journey that can be overwhelming and often scary when you first embark on it.

I can help you rebuild your relationship with your diet, your health and wellbeing and inspire you to cook new dishes while also having fun in the kitchen. I will teach you how to roll the perfect dough along with useful tips on how to make it more nutritious. You can also come along to my hands on workshops or cook with me online.

I love experimenting with different cuisines and my recipes are infused with herbs and spices I tried visiting different countries and some that are deeply rooted in my Hungarian heritage.

I also run in person cookery classes for team building activities, birthday parties and more. If you fancy joining me on an open class, please visit my booking page where you can find out the date of my next event.

With the “love of food”,

Viki

  • We booked Viki for our daughter's 8th birthday as she loves cooking and baking and we thought it sounded like a great 'party' idea. Viki totally surpassed our expectations - turning up with a beautiful freshly baked loaf of sourdough and homemade roast beetroot hummus, she set to work setting up for the party. She had even brought a personalised chef's hat for my daughter and a sourdough starter with instructions - such a lovely touch. There were colourful aprons for the kids to wear and they had an amazing time (and so did I!), we all learned so much. Using natural ingredients to create different colours of pasta dough, we ended up with an eclectic mix of shapes and colours that Viki then cooked up with a simple sauce that everyone tucked into - absolutely delicious! I found Viki a highly knowledgeable and inspiring lady, and a delight to have met. We were blown away by what a great party it was. Thank you, Viki!

    Absolutely loved Vicki’s Twiddle Food pasta making workshop at Kooc Cafe last summer. Her passion for what she does is infectious and I came away with a new (tasty!) hobby that I find really enjoyable and relaxing to do. I couldn’t recommend Vicki enough!
