Tineke started her cooking career working as a private chef and wedding cake baker.
Her passion and love for food and cooking and desire to expand her culinary knowledge soon saw her progress to high end restaurants in the City of London.
It was during this time it became clear that demonstrating and teaching cooking skills to others was her natural and next calling.
Tineke taught in some of the most well known cookery schools in London, honing her cooking and teaching skills even further.
After moving to North Devon there was only one thing on the cards - her very own cookery school.
Tineke Cooks Cookery School was born in Great Torrington, North Devon.
