I left very impressed, would def recommendPosted on Tripadvisor Gill PVerified Couples Cooking together We had a fantastic experience at the Thai cooking class and would highly recommend it. The recipes were clearly explained and easy to follow, even for beginners. Chef Chorchaba demonstrated how to prepare both the starter and the main course, then guided us step by step as we made the dishes ourselves, offering help and tips along the way. The ingredients were fresh and of excellent quality, and both dishes were delicious. To finish, the chef prepared a beautiful lemon posset for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful session. A truly enjoyable and memorable experience!Posted on Tripadvisor HeatherVerified Highly recommend Chef Kevin and the staff were brilliant. Really enjoyed the afternoon, and I love that we're able to easily get all of the ingredients and make the food again at home. Highly recommendPosted on Tripadvisor Cath BVerified Delicious food, great chef and staff, good company, ; lovely day. Lovely experience . The chef has a nice friendly manner and was very good at explaining what she was doing as she prepped and cooked. And kept a close eye on our efforts - ready to help, but not take over. The other staff are also friendly and helpful and worked hard to make everyone happy. The results could hardly be in but satisfactory - and they were. Thoroughly enjoyed our dishes and delicious dessert prepared for us. This is the second time we have been - excellent each time!Posted on Tripadvisor JCVerified Brilliant Vietnamese Cooking Experience A fabulous Vietnamese cooking course demonstrated wonderfully by chef Chorchaba. You can cook as carefully or confidently as you wish and chef is always on hand to assist if you need. The other staff are on hand to help with anything too. The menu is delicious, so fresh and vibrant and you will take plenty home on top of what you have after the event. We were also given a fresh, fragrant spice mix to take home. Drink included, plenty of options and reasonably priced if you want additional. Brilliant day, thanks to everyone. Wish I had taken more photos but was that busy cooking and tasting:-)Posted on Tripadvisor Lauren BVerified Such an amazing experience! Such an amazing experience at Food Sorcery! We went for my boyfriend’s 25th birthday present. We took part in the Indian cooking experiance. Chef Rick was brilliant and explained everything so clearly, helping us understand how to build flavour and improve our cooking skills. Not to mention how delicious the food was! The staff were incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and we loved the music in the background. Couldn’t fault the experience at all — thank you for a fantastic class!
