I’ve cooked for four kids and a husband for 30 years, but I came away from the Cookery School with new ideas - even just simple techniques that make things easier like chopping onions and Gio’s so calm and patient. He’s the opposite of what you see from chefs on television.
It was all so enjoyable, and we had a lovely lunch in the middle, as well as having stuff to take away that I could show off at home! You get the recipes to take home and everything is printed out in really simple steps. Every bit of it was fantastic and I absolutely loved it.
