Important notes before you book
Please let us know if you want to enjoy vegetarian options during the class. For other common dietary requirements like vegan, gluten free, dairy free please ask before booking as some dishes will not be suitable and cannot be changed due to the authenticity of the dishes and the experience of fellow participants.
Our kitchen and all tools are shared by participants and cross-contamination is therefore possible. Classes are NOT suitable for participants with SEVERE and life-threatening allergies.
