Perfect dishes that bring warmth and colour to the table as the colder months close in.

Colourful, bright and packed full of flavour, the thought of pumpkin paired with spices, immediately conjures up images of cooler months and cozy nights.

In this session you will work together to create a warm, comforting feast, of pumpkin dishes from around the world, to share as we sit, relax and chat, as we finish the session.

More Information:
I prefer not to call this a cooking class, but more of a hands-on cooking and knowledge sharing session, where those attending learn and share from my experience. I am not a trained chef, just taught and guided by my experiences, and driven by my love of cooking, sharing, and celebrating with food.

Health and Safety
※ If you have any dietary restrictions, please contact me prior to booking as I like to make sure that everyone can enjoy the food prepared on the day.
※ Closed shoes must be worn on the day.
