“I just wanted to say a big thank you after the recent 3 day essentials course I attended. I didn’t really know what to expect before I arrived but hoped that I would come away from the course with a bit more confidence in some of the basics, a few new recipes in my repertoire and also having had a really enjoyable time in good company. I’m pleased to say that the course came up trumps in all of those areas and more! I really enjoyed myself and would thoroughly recommend this course to others and am certainly keen to return to do another course at some point in the future.
Please pass my thanks on to Tracey and Colette who were excellent trainers over the 3 days and made me feel very welcome.” – John B.
