This was a great class. the teacher was so knwlegdebale and i learnt so much. I went as a solo cooker and they were so welcoming that I did not feel like the odd one out. The food was amazing and the chef was able to give practicale advice for a variety of kitchens. the cooking was so much fun and then the social dinner afterwards was a bonus.

Very enjoyable and informative class. Comfortable classroom. Enjoyed eating the food and bringing some home as well.
We will definitely be cooking some of the dishes at home and looking into more recipes that use loomi. All of the other spices will be fairly easy to source.
