My goal is to make this a meaningful and enjoyable experience, one that gives you lasting value.

You’ll build real skills and confidence as you learn to create beautiful desserts with less sugar, fewer additives, and incredible flavour. All while saving time and making the most of your ingredients.

I will do my best to make each session enjoyable and welcoming, and together with a small group of like-minded people who share the same passion, we will create a truly memorable and rewarding experience.

With over 35 years of experience as a pâtissier and chocolatier, and more than 16 years as an instructor, I have encountered and overcome countless challenges.

I am ready to share that experience with passionate learners like you.

Had the most delightful day today with Ribana at the Academy. Spent the day learning how to decorate cakes. I’ve never been very good, but the class was so fun and informal but learnt so much. Love it!!

Chef Ribana was a wonderful teacher, her skill and knowledge is amazing so much better than any other course I've done. I did two sessions from her 10 week course, met another lovely lady who was completing the entire course. Fantastic value for money over 3 hours, everything included with 1:2 teaching in her lovely little venue. I hope to go back soon, thank you.

I was quite anxious as I had no previous experience of making macaroons. Ribana was a great instructor. She was patient and good at letting me try out the macaron piping technique under her watchful eye. I had a great time and will definitely be making more macarons at home because the instructions were so easy to follow. Thank you again.
