Christmas Foodie Gifts and Wreaths Course

Christmas wreath and foodie gifts course is perfect for anyone who wants to create something special for their festive celebrations. Start the day with tea, coffee and mince pies before a hands-on cookery course followed by a light lunch and then an afternoon of flower arranging, creating a wonderfully festive wreath. You can book just for the foodie gift morning or the afternoon cookery session but you can also book both for a full festive day.

Tapas Cooking Class

In Spain the tradition of meeting friends and moving from bar to bar, enjoying a drink and a snack in each, is a great way to spend the evening but it’s also a fun way to eat at home. Tapas is an unpretentious, colourful Spanish food using fresh ingredients and bold flavours. It is simple to prepare and cook, the perfect food to enjoy with friends and family. Tapas is all about variety, and we will be working our way through simple classic tapas to more complex traditional Spanish dishes, culminating in our own wonderful Tapas feast.
