A Blog from John Higgins...

Hi, I am John Higgins, I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity of a life time to attend this cooking school as my wife purchased a cookery school gift voucher. I didn’t know what to expect but it was great opportunity to develop new cooking skills. The course was very relaxed with first class tuition. I didn’t realise how much I would learn in one day, it was brilliant and it exceeded my expectations. 
This course brought a new concept in cooking for me and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the cookery school right from the onset. Like any course, you never know what to expect and I certainly didn’t expect what I experienced on this course. I have never been so inspired or motivated to spend more time in the kitchen cooking up new dishes.   
I was left feeling totally enthused wondering what was next, it was exciting and inspirational, so much that I booked my self on another day’s course which also exceeded my expectations. It’s a truly great experience and like every cooking programme, yes, you get to celebrate your achievements with some wine and return that evening to sit down together with your partner and enjoy your dishes of the day. This was truly a great fun and a great experience. Martin, Mel I hope you find this as inspirational as I have. John April 2010
