Hen Parties, Corporate & Recreational cooking
For a more personal or specialized approach to cooking, you can arrange to have me come to your home or holiday house to give you and your friends a tailor made cookery day. We can discuss which recipes you would like and even arrange trips to specialist producers to source our ingredients. For hen parties, corporate days or birthday celebrations, what could be nicer than a relaxed, informal day with friends or family? Cooking, learning and eating. The food can be cooking during the day and more guests can then join you for a delicious supper. I will arrange the menu, ingredients, and recipes and ensure the whole day is a delight. Prices according to numbers and recipes.
Possible courses
Menus for dinner parties could include everyone making bread, a starter, main course and vegetables and a pudding consisting of three of four ‘mini’ puddings.
