The confidence booster sessions

January 8, 2018 By Sandy

After many conversations and requests, I have put together a set of cooking classes aimed to give confidence to people new to cooking and those who just need an extra boost.

The idea is that each class covers one area of cooking. The areas you can choose from are:

Each class will cover a 2 hour demonstration, giving you the basic information you may need and an opportunity to ask questions.
For those that want to then apply the information under my guidance, a quick lunch will be followed by a 3 hour cooking session, producing dishes to take home.

Numbers are limited to 8 persons for the 2 hour information session and 4 persons for the cooking sessions.

The cost for these are:

£25.00 per person for the 2 hour demonstration (fish course supplement of £7.50)
£99.00 per person for the demonstration lunch and cooking session (this includes prepared food to take home, fish course supplement of £15.00).

Please note the classes can only run if a minimum number of people attend.
(6 persons for the 2 hour session and 3 persons for the whole day).
