“Thank you Lee & Jane for a wonderful time…the demonstrations were really inspiring and of course the food was delicious!! It was lovely to meet fellow vegans too, to swap ideas….you were amazing!!” Irene
“I spent this weekend on a cookery course by chef Lee Watson, author of the brilliant ‘Peace and Parsnips’. Each day we cooked up a huge array of different dishes that were INCREDIBLE!!!!
I’ve done a few cookery courses before but this was in a league of its own! The whole experience was a joy from start to finish. Lee, Jane and their lovely team put a huge amount of thought and effort into ensuring it was relaxed and fun but really informative too.
Honestly, I cannot recommend their courses enough!” Tanya
