COOKERY CLASSES
(and not just for the ladies!)

Have a fantastic day in the kitchen, sharing my recipes and cooking tips along with lots of fun and laughter

My cookery lessons have proved to be very popular and I do hope I can tempt you to attend one at our Chef's Table in Saltford.  A group of up to 8 is just the perfect number, so it's a great fun thing to do with friends and family - or maybe you're looking for a special gift for a work colleague etc.  The good thing too about coming as your own group - you get to choose what we cook! 
But I can run classes for any number up to four, concentrating on something you really wish to learn to prepare. Just email me and I'll do my best to accommodate your request.
​
Typically the class runs from 10.00 - 14.30 but can be varied according to your group’s commitments.  After the course, participants generally sit down with me to eat what has just been prepared and cooked. Soft drinks are provided but please bring your own wine if you prefer. 

Costs are dependent on numbers and ingredients
For example a four hour lesson would be approximately
£50 each if four people
£65 each if three people
​£85 each if two people

Why not make the afternoon and evening of it?  Invite your friends/partners to join you at around 7pm and come and eat the full three-course dinner you have cooked.  Price dependent upon numbers.  You can design your own menu with me if you wish and I would be very happy to do a menu based on vegetarian options.  We have had one group of very happy gentlemen prepare a dinner for themselves and their partners, with the ladies enjoying one of the many spas in Bath whilst the gentlemen were working with me in the kitchen.

COOKERY DEMONSTRATIONS

I also love giving cookery demonstrations to larger audiences and these pictures and video were from me in Olympia at the Food from France section in both 2015 and 2016.  Loved it.
