Lizzie/Jake,
absolutely loved the beginner’s course today, can’t find a fault. Jake was both knowledgeable and entertaining. The 5 hours went by too quickly. I’m looking forward to the next one, whatever it might be. (Cocktails and cheeses?)
The highlight may well have been the magical trolley.

Really enjoyed the course on 22nd March. Jake was very patient explaining things, and I got a good understanding of the techniques used. The family loved the chocolate brownies that I brought home. Remember to bring LOTS of food containers to get the swag home!
