| "Parent and Childrens Cookery Class - London" |
| "Arts and Crafts Experience Days: Kids love to get hands-on and help out in the kitchen...on this
occasion, why not save the mess, and take the chance to learn
together in a purpose-designed group kitchen space? This 2 hour
cookery lesson in Lewisham encourages children and parents to
explore a range of techniques, skills and recipes together, under
the guidance of an expert instructor.
Upon arrival at the kitchen, you'll meet your friendly
instructor and the other parents and kids who'll be taking part.
Parents...this is an amazing opportunity to spend some quality
one-to-one time with your child and discover a whole host of
exciting new dishes and flavours in a relaxed environment. We
understand how hard it can be to get those fussy-eaters trying new
things, so by allowing them to make the meal themselves, they won't
be able to help themselves wanting to taste it! You'll all be
encouraged to try new skills or flavours, and by the end of the
lesson, we can guarantee you'll be hungry. If all this cooking
leaves you a little parched, you can enjoy a complimentary glass of
wine (adults only of course!) plus a selection of soft drinks
throughout the class. The food will be packaged up so that you can
take it home to share with the rest of the family...don't worry,
we'll handle to washing up!
If you'd like to get back to basics with your child, or know a
budding young chef who needs a helping hand in the right direction,
this cookery class in London is the perfect experience gift."
