    Testimonials

    Firstly, thank you for a well run course.

    India came along and thoroughly enjoyed herself.  She met new friends and tried food she wouldn't normally eat at home.  She felt so proud (as did we) of her achievements over the two days and has come away feeling confident and eager to cook in the kitchen at home.  In fact, she has whipped up the mixture for pancakes to make crepes for her younger brother and sisters tonight.
     
    I would recommend this program for kids of a similar age to India who are enthusiastic, aspiring young cooks!
     
    A big thank you to Nichole and her team for their kindness, guidance and creativity.
     
    Kind regards Fiona
