Will definitely be coming back for other cooking classes.

A big thank you from me too

  • 5/5 from Taylah-Jade Wilson, attended Jun 2023: Riki, our teacher, was brilliant. She showed me how to cut baby squid ink off, telling us lots of techniques e.g., telling us the certain rice and brands to use to make a successful Paella. The venue was very spacious and clean. The atmosphere was amazing. I wish I knew about these cooking classes sooner. I will definitely be coming back for more. I am looking forward to learning new cooking skills in the savoury department. And HOW CAN I NOT FORGET ABOUT THE CHURROS - I will never be having Dominos again. Yours were light and fluffy and wanted to take them all home - thankfully I now have the recipe. Thank you for everything. I can't wait to try and remake everything I learnt at home. See you at the next class.
