"What an achievement when we had all completed our various dishes, and they were laid out along the centre of the long table... My inspiring word would be simply 'Amazing'. Do not miss out!"(BG)

“I didn’t know what to expect, as I was greeted by a gentle breeze flowing down the mountain, echoing through the wind chimes, I knew it was going to be the most tranquil and peaceful weekend away…  I have never been so surprised at a result, I walked away from that weekend enlightened with so many different techniques and combinations that make mouth-watering meals.”  (KdT)

“I loved how we all cooked together – it was a buzz of excitement and efficiency. It’s a beautiful way to escape and spend time away while learning, cooking and enjoying food together.” (SP)
