I was brought a gift card for a 1/2 day workshop and I finally got around to using it at a Japanese workshop, and I'm so glad I did! When I arrived I was offer a hot drink which was very welcome in such a cold evening. Then, we were taught 4 recipes by the knowledgeable Simon. As someone who arrived solo, I was paired up with a stranger. Unfortunately, this stranger made me frustrated (and they didn't see to understand that you don't double dip a tasting spoon). This was no issue though as after this I was quickly and discreetly given my own ingredients and equipment, which I very much appreciated. Having the time to seat and eat our creations was wonderful, and from what I saw the team were very careful and considerate with oeioels dietary requirements. Simon himself was very knowledge, which means you can ask him about changes you would want to make at home. Overall if I was to go again, I would go with friends or my partner. But Overall it was a fantastic evening!

I spent Saturday on the Thai course with Chris, brilliantly supported by Bhav with endless supplies of tea and coffee and the washing up! We started with talking about principles, then ingredients followed by knife skills and a lot of slicing and dicing. We created some amazing food with incredible authentic Thai flavours and twice sat down together to enjoy the fruits of our labours, From Pad Thai to home made spring rolls through to wonderful Green Curry (which went home for my wife's tea). A really fun day in great company, with much learned and an enthusiasm to experiment at home. Thanks Chris and Bhav
