Interactive Class for Teens

We’re delighted to announce a special FREE interactive class for teenagers on the 15th December at 5.30pm. This class is a pilot of our new 20 session cooking programme for kids, based on favourite dishes, that we are hoping to bring to life soon.  We have been working on our initiative – Cooking, Reading and Writing – because we believe that learning to cook is just as important as learning to read and write for the futures of our children and their children too.
