“Relaxing and very enjoyable”
The ‘Cooking with Chillies made simple’, experience was simply excellent. Made to feel relaxed from the start. After tasting several Chillies, we then selected some to make a salsa. We then got to make a lemon chilli tea (much nicer than I expected). We then learnt how to pickle Chillies and then finally tasted a jalapeño popper and made our own to take home. I felt I learnt lots during the afternoon. It was also nice to taste some of the products on sale, so that you could choose items to buy.

The dishes you will cook depend on the chillies that are available but it may include things like salsas and jalapeno poppers. With your hands on experience you will easily be able to replicate these dishes at home. Before you leave there will be even more tasting as you try some chilli sauces.
