Intensive Masterclass with Jean-Christophe Novelli

"The day was really enjoyable as it was SO relaxed (..) I was really worried about it being really ‘cheffy' but it was lovely having the opportunity to ask questions and having hands on experience in most things (..)

Food and Wine Appreciation with Steven Kitchen

"May I thank you for a wonderful day and say that the most I took from it was the presentation. The bread with Camembert, the courgettes, the chocolate in the cup. I believe that recipes can always be obtained from a book, but presentation skills cannot, and I will always remember those I have gained from this course.

Thank you to all those that worked to make this a special day and especially Steven, who was exceptional and made the day unforgettable."

Mike Shepherd, Baldock, Herts
