Reviews
“I learnt how to make some sweet dishes that you could make in an hour or less it was fun and you got to eat the yummy treats afterwards”. Claire, aged 13.
“Vanessa was really nice to everyone, she explained things easily so I could understand. We learned how to make some tasty meals for when we go to Uni next year. I’m going to be the most popular person in the flat!” Breanna, aged 17.
“My boyfriend and I were fed up of eating take away meals and didn’t know where to start. This class popped up about healthy eating and I thought – why not! So glad I came because I learned a lot about putting together healthier meals and how my body uses the different nutrients. A lovely environment to learn in, loved it, thank you.” Alice.
Come and join the cooking lessons at Hewitts Homestead, in a friendly environment, with small groups. If there is something that you would really like to know how to cook please get in touch and ask, I can always put on a one off class.
A great opportunity to come together with others and learn something new that will help you for the rest of your life! You won’t regret signing up for a cooking class – you get to eat something from every class you attend, what could be better?
