Fun & Food - Perfect day
Just a joyus day - full of laughter and inspiration in a great setting with fun people who are was a fabulous experience – both educational and equally as important great fun. Our group bonded wonderfully so much fun and laughter was had for the whole day ending up in the pub afterwards with promises to get together again – maybe even for another session with Stefano on pasta making.

A super way to spend a day
So enjoyed the day at La Cucina Caldesi, everything about it was a delight, from visiting the farmer's market to preparing and eating the food. Learnt so much on the day, was entertained - as well as educated - by Stefano, and, along with the company of my fellow 'chefs', thoroughly enjoyed feasting on the Italian specialities of our cooking.

Sunday Market fun
It was such a good day on Sunday. Revisiting the market after a long time reminded me of the great seasonal products available there. Do seek out the potato man, he is an expert. I’m sorry I don’t know his name. We helped to cook a delicious meal and the timing was perfect for Christmas planning. Superb. Thank you to Stefano, his colleagues and fellow cooks.

Great day out
Market trip was interesting but the cooking experience was outstanding. Stefano managed to keep everyone busy in a very relaxed manner. He is a natural and very passionate about Italian cooking. Highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to pick up some useful culinary skills and having a good day out. Not to mention the great meal at the end.

Excellent teaching!
Really good environment and excellent teaching- taught me a few things even though I ahve been cooking a long time. My only complaint ass uch is that standing for such a long time is very tiring. I realise space is limited but the iodd stool wouldn't go amiss.

What a fun time!
This wasn't something I was looking forward to .As much as I love to cook in my own home I felt nervous being on show amongst strangers . However I thoroughly enjoyed it Stefano made you feel at ease and the food was excellent . We all went away having learned a lot . I would definitely go on another course sometime .

Great day out
This was a lovely day out. We went to the Farmers Market just around the corner from the venue. There was a good miix of stalls and we witnessed a lot of "Regular Local Customers". The Chef purchases some vegetables for us to cook when we got back to the kitchen. The venue has a great kitchen space with a friendly team. We cooked the three course meal together and the chef made sure we witnesses all the key stages of the process. Give hit a go!

Amazing cooking class
We loved the experience. I got this as a gift for my husband and used the 25% off that was on offer during Christmas time. Very good value for money. The chef was very good, and fun cooking together with other people. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

La Cucina Cookery Course
I had a really enjoyable day - the course was informative and hands-on and I learnt several new skills. The chef, Stephano, was welcoming and amusing and made it a fun experience. The food was delicious and it was nice to be able to sit down with everyone and enjoy what we had prepared. I would thoroughly recommend this 'experience'

Great Day!
Everyone was amazing and Stefano in particular was hilarious! It was relaxed and we learnt lots of tips and a couple of new skills. Sitting and having lunch with the group afterwards was a really great way to end what was a fabulous experience.

An interesting day!
Would have like this to have been more of a hands on experience, e.g buying the ingredients in the Farmers Market, this was not a tour of the market - just a visit! Also, to be able to cook your own meal and compare with other members of the class and not watching each other doing different parts of the menu would have been a better experience. The meal was lovely but I didn’t feel it was particularly Italian. I fully appreciate that this may have been due to the limitations of Covid.
