RECENT GUESTBOOK COMMENTS FOR OUR PREVIOUS INDIAN COURSES – Thanks for a very enjoyable and informative day. It surpassed my expectations and I would definitely like to try another course. I thought the number of people was just right, as was the pace, the ‘hands on’ approach and willingness to share tips / answer any questions. I will try all the dishes, but particularly looking forward to chicken, tandoori and sauce. Really good and look forward to trying another in the future. All the best, Jonathan

WE WASH UP – YOU JUST LEARN, COOK and EAT!

RECENT GUESTBOOK COMMENTS – Many thanks Sarah – it was a great day, and I would recommend your courses to anyone, great input, great guidance and really good hands-on experience. I have cooked a few recipes so far, more work to do! Plus, the general techniques learned have added to my general preparation – many thanks again for including some general tips…We are thinking about doing one of your other courses, maybe Mediterranean or Indian…So, a great experience – enjoyed the filleting and preparation aspects too – and some really good recipes and techniques within the recipes, a good blend and mix of styles…Thanks again, all the best, Gregg

RECENT GUESTBOOK COMMENTS – Dear Sarah, I really enjoyed the course last Saturday.It was very well organised, and you divided your time fairly between the participants. I feel I have learned quite a few things: the most important is to be confident to cook fish for a short time as it is tempting to over-cook it to make sure ‘it is done’; also to cook fish fairly simply, but to have a bold flavoured accompaniment; using knife skills; making sure your knives are sharp; using different types of fish (not just cod etc). I was particularly pleased at my attempt to bone the fish and prepare the squid. I would definitely recommend your course, and have done so to a few people. Best wishes Philip

LOVED the chili and garlic bite. Will try making the crab cornbread this weekend. After inspiration from your dessert, my partner is buying me an Ice Cream machine for Xmas (more for him than me?). best regards Monica
