Being the hostess with the mostess – or the host with the most – may not come naturally to everyone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn. And if the cooking classes at Bon Vivant are anything to go by, learning can be fun.
Regular cooking classes, held between 6.30 and 8.30pm, take a different focus each week – be it on specific skills, ingredients or cuisine styles.
Participants sit back and relax around the in-store demo kitchen, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or two, and learn from the masters how to create impressive dishes with the minimum of fuss. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal and audience participation is welcomed. A varied offering of classes are scheduled for this month:
