This was easily the best cooking course I have done. Bhavna was just the most amazing, engaging, knowledgeable teacher. She really 'made' the course. Thoroughly enjoyed the day - didn't want it to end. I took away so much helpful information and so many new things to try.

Fantastic teacher in Bhavna. She's all over the organisation of the lesson and is very knowledgeable. We cooked a number of meals, learned about spices and oils and ate heartily!
