Design-A-Class

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Cant see what you are looking for?

We think we have covered quite a lot of class themes, but if by some chance you cannot see what you want, then why not design your own!

This could be something like canapés, tapas, dressings, vegetarian cookery, gluten free dishes, cooking on a diet, basically anything you may want to learn.

All we ask is a minimum of 3 people attend and we will tailor a class to your requirements and you will be able to book a date to suit you.
