We had a lovely and fun afternoon learning to cook French food with chef Jacqui! Her home was delightful and she is extremely talented and very knowledgeable. Another bonus was that all the participants were also very nice.

Ray Wardill • Jun 2022

The French cooking class held by chef Jacqui’s was fantastic. The reason I say this is that it was held in her own family home kitchen, by doing this it show’s us ordinary cooks can produce a restaurant quality meal in or own home. She is also very good at explaining the way we go about preparing, cooking and platting up food. Job well done, would not hesitate going again.
