We need 10 days' notice to be able to properly check the class and adjust the order accordingly. Please read our full policy on allergies and dietary restrictions here.

The quality of the teaching was beyond superb. Having had no experience of cooking at all, this class taught me that I can actually follow a recipe and cook. I just need to practice what I learnt on the course. I found the teachers kind, professional, easy to talk to and highly skilled. Along with my class mates, they too made the course really enjoyable.
