Brilliant and easy way to learn vegetarian

Jody 14 August 2022

My best friend and I attended the Gourmet Vegetarian and Vegan Cooking Class last Saturday and had an absolute ball. The facilities are wonderful and intimate, you are with small group of people and Laura is a fantastic teacher, and all the recipes we cooked were simple, delicious and healthy. This class is a perfect introduction to those who have been thinking about reducing meat in their diet, or for people like me who have recently become vegitarian on how to cook and combine flavours and textures.

Delicious food and great company!

Rebecca 17 May 2021

This cooking experience was incredible. Thorough, detailed, delicious! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the attendees were friendly and we all enjoyed a great time! The recipes were simple, delicious and being able to eat as we went was fantastic! I'll definitely be back for another cooking class!

Great cooking class!

Emma 1 March 2020

The teacher was really friendly and explained everything really well. Food was delicious, will definitely be making some of these recipes at home!

Excellent cooking class!

Emilie 11 February 2020

Great experience! Come with an empty stomach as there was an abundance of food to try once you've made it. Learned lots of useful tips and great for both those with none, and those with moderate kitchen experience. Defs will be repeating some of those recipes. Overall really fun experience!

Fun, Exciting, Yummy!

My Experience started with my lovely daughter in law purchasing a RedBalloon Voucher for this cooking class. I had decided to adopt a vegan diet for health reasons just before Christmas and I wonder if the voucher was a result of some of my earlier attempts at cooking for the family. But it was truly a most wonderful surprise gift and one my best for Christmas. I entered the cafe / restaurant / cooking school to be greeted by our lovely tutor for the day and her assistant. They were two beautiful and friendly people. I knew that it was going to be a good day just by meeting them. And the cooking lesson? Well fantastic to prep and make such tasty dishes with a bunch of nine other strangers. The vegans were in the minority so two versions of each dishes were made in parallel when required; vegan and vegetarian. All were prepped from the basic whole food ingredients when possible but it was all still so easy. The casual approach of our teacher ensured that there was no right or wrong answer or flavour. We all tinker our dishes to our own tastes anyway. Ten people, meeting for the first time, made an absolutely stunning series of dishes over the course of the class. Eating our creations at the end among new friends was just the icing on the cake. So yes a wonderful day learning as much from the little tips and hints (plus local suppliers of difficult to get ingredients) along the way as cooking the set menu. Being challenged to try new ingredients, or old ones, in new ways was exciting. Who would have thought that wasabi powder and baked pumpkin puree taste divine together? The day was just so much fun!

tasty and fun
