It's the 1st of November, the Christmas decorations etc are appearing in the shops now and I've just seen the first Christmas TV adverts of the season!

If you're hoping to have me cater for you in the run up to Christmas, be it a party or a private dinner party, please don't wait to book. My available dates are limited already, so get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

If you're looking for a fun and different Christmas gift, you can also arrange a private interactive cooking lesson with me, we can choose your menu together and then you help me to prepare and serve the meal, learn tips, ask questions, make notes on the recipes and methods etc.

⭐️New and exciting cooking masterclasses now available!⭐️

On Saturday I did something new, it was a lot of fun! An interactive barbecue masterclass, a surprise birthday gift.

The clients have a beautiful new barbecue in their lovely Spanish home, and so the brief was to gain more confidence in preparing and cooking some more exciting dishes made with ingredients which can all be sourced locally.

The chosen menu was:

Marinated skirt steak with peppercorn sauce

Chicken Sosaties

Whole Corvina

Honey and mustard new potato salad

Asian slaw

Elote salad

Sun dried tomato garlic bread

The entire meal was prepared by the clients and myself, with me sharing my recipes (although do expect approximations because I don't really do proper measurements! 😅), my tips, methods and answering any questions they had.

It was such a great success that I am now adding this to my services.

It would make a great gift for a keen cook looking to expand their skills and knowledge, especially with Christmas just around the corner. If you would like to arrange an interactive cooking lesson in your home or holiday accommodation, please get in touch ASAP (you can use the WhatsApp button below). Give me your brief for the lesson and we will create a menu to suit you.

Thank you to Sue and David for being such great "guinea pigs" and making the first one such a fun experience. Thank you also to them for allowing me to use a few of their photos to add to mine.

First night cooking for a really lovely group of 15, visiting from the US... I can tell this next week is going to be fun! Had one of my favourite reviews yet of one of my dishes (the cheesecake), "that was f♡$*ing spiritual"! 😂

We are providing a full table setting service for each evening meal this week, along with speciality cocktail and canapés. Tonight's menu can be seen in the photos below, the canapés and cocktail are described under the photos (although I was too busy to grab a photo of the tuna stuffed piquillo peppers!)
