“Definitely lived up to our expectations. Tutor was great: very knowledgeable and approachable, we achieved so much over the day, lunch was lovely. It was great to have a small class size. Although it felt an expensive purchase, I think it was very good value in terms of what we learned and how well organised and professional the Cookery School is.” Elspeth (2024)
