We had a lovely time! It was a social experience, as we were paired with another couple and had to do some teamwork to make delicious food. We cooked scallops, green beans, very cool (but alas too salty) potatoes (the salt was our responsibility and we went overboard haha), and poached pears. We have already replicated the scallops at home, with success, and are planning to do the same with the pears soon! Jailyn was knowledgeable and funny, and gave us lots of good tips. Highly recommended!

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!
