A truly wonderful experience from start to finish! We were welcomed with open arms and apron strings. Our station was fully equipped to allow us to follow the instructions being explained by the knowledgable and friendly chefs. I did not expect to be provided with beverages, which was a lovely touch, and the food we produced was super tasty and enjoyable. A fantastic way to spend a few hours on a cold, rainy Melbourne Saturday. We received a voucher for Christmas and think that this would make a fantastic gift idea for an engagement/wedding or birthday present for the foodie in your life. A real highlight - give it a go!
