So enjoyed your course a few weeks ago
Already looking at booking another one. Great day, great food and an amazing chef.
THE BEST educational experience I’ve had
Your smoking and curing course with THE BEST educational experience I’ve had.
Great day course thank you
Instructive, entertaining and illuminating. First steps in curing and smoking food. A hands-on no-fuss approach which simplifies and explains the processes involved without mystique or flannel. Highly recommend and I’ll be attending more courses held in the professional kitchens at Edgbaston Stadium.
