Cooking with Chef last night was amazing. We loved the tenderloin and Brussels sprouts with sticky toffee pudding. By far our best one so far!

We learned basic cooking techniques and had such a lovely time! We also broke through myths around oils, cutting boards and air-fryers. Jailyn was so welcoming and kept us entertained throughout the class. Highly recommend!
