This is a great session.
We tasted the most delicious food in London. There are many variety dishes so we cannot finish them all. Definitely wise to bring food containers.
Simon and Hanna made them all just for our booking. They teach all of the dishes in their cooking classes. We are very keen to learn how to make the chicken wings.

We spent a nice Hour with Simon and Hanna. We tasted a variety of dishes. Simon was full of useful information on how they were cooked and the sauces that were used to cook them. Would love to have seen them actually cooking them. Thank you for your hospitality and the variety of food.
