Alasdair Mclean, who was keen to get more creative in the kitchen, headed off to this class to explore the world of Thai food, and said:

What a wonderful afternoon! Ru is really engaging, informative and full of knowledge. The dishes we cooked were both delicious and achievable for us novices, and we felt confident trying them ourselves in future. The venue is ideal; good for demonstration and collaborative working, and the presence of seating at the working area was really appreciated. The dining area was nice, and Ru spent a lot of time with us later chatting and sharing her wide experiences. We would both highly recommend this to anyone interested in Thai cooking.

5 tips for choosing the best gifts for couples who have everything

Finding a culinary present for the couple who already owns every gadget can be tricky, but it's totally possible when you gift an experience! The key is to gift a shared skill and a delicious memory.

Here are five essential tips for choosing memorable foodie activity days for couples:

1. Prioritise unique cuisine: Skip the usual pizza night! Choose a class that lets them master a cuisine they love but haven't tried making, like authentic Thai street food, sushi rolling, or dim sum dumplings.

2. Go for the full date night: Gift the whole evening! Look for experiences that are BYOB or include a cocktail masterclass element, ensuring the fun starts immediately and ends with a delicious feast they cooked themselves.

3. Choose a practical skill: Give them a talent they'll use forever! A class on making fresh, artisan sourdough bread or homemade pasta from scratch invests directly in their future dinner parties.

4. Embrace the decadence: Focus on luxury treats! A voucher for a chocolate making workshop or a high-end whiskey or wine tasting is a guaranteed indulgence they wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves.

5. Look for local ingredients and artisans: Find a workshop that involves sourcing, like a foraging and cooking experience or a class supporting a local cheesemaker. This adds a wonderful, meaningful story to their culinary adventure.
