Last Thursday over 50 guests joined us for an evening of cookery demos, knife skills, wine tasting and delicious canapés.

The evening gave our guests and past students the opportunity to try some amazing wines from The Wine Connection in Northampton, sample some delicious canapés made by our friends at The Red Lion.

Jo from IOShen demonstrated his amazing knife skills and provided some top ‘chefy’ tips.

Ondine took centre stage and cooked up two great dishes, Thai Fishcakes and her own Salsa Verde with steak.

After the success of last years Christmas gift voucher sales, we decided to extended our online gift range and have sourced some beautiful and unusual items, all with a foody theme. We have also combined a number of our courses with books and aprons to provide unique Christmas Gift boxes, all beautifully packaged up, so you only have to add the gift tag! Guests on the evening got a sneak preview of the range with many taking advantage of a bit of early Christmas shopping.

Many thanks to everyone who attended and also for your kind words, we shall certainly be running another event late November.
