Great class and great food! We had a fun evening learning about the spices and cooking three delicious dishes! We bought some spices after to hopefully recreate this at home soon! We also had Ethiopian cardamom coffee after our meal which was just the perfect way to round off the evening. Thanks!
Spoil your sweetie with some sweet date activities in London

Very nice class. Two of us made 6 different drinks. All beautiful and delicious! There are still more drinks to learn. So we will go back again with more friends next time. All the drinks tasted very good with or without alcohol. Very creative tutors Simon and Hannah. We had a wonderful time!
