What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation and taken to a private home where you'll meet your instructor. After a brief garden walk and introduction to ingredients, you'll move to the kitchen and start cooking. Expect to handle chopping, grinding spices, and working over heat. Most classes cover a starter, main, and dessert. Once finished, you'll sit down together to eat your dishes in a candlelit setting. The pace is relaxed but hands-on—not a performance or demonstration.
