点评:Having attended several of Ian’s online cookalongs during and since the Covid years, it was lovely to finally be able to attend one of his in person classes on Saturday morning. The venue is well located and easily found, only 10 minutes from the M25, and street parking was available right outside.
We were given a warm welcome ( including coffee and homemade cookies!) and immediately made to feel at ease. There were 6 participants in our class which made for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We cooked in pairs, each pair having their own work station to prep and cook all the dishes on the menu under Ian’s expert guidance and supervision. He is always happy to take the time to answer any questions and demonstrate techniques when necessary and at no point did we feel rushed or unsure. The class ended with us all sitting around the table to enjoy our delicious meal together.
As with the previous classes I have attended, I always find it nice to be given the opportunity to learn how to cook using ingredients new to me or to be shown different ways to prepare and cook familiar ingredients. I also like the fact that you learn to cook a complete meal of complimentary dishes, ready to try out on family and friends….. and I will most definitely be cooking these dishes again!

我们受到了热烈的欢迎(包括咖啡和自制饼干!),并立即感到轻松自在。我们班有6名学员,气氛友好轻松。我们两人一组做饭,每组都有自己的工作站,在伊恩的专家指导和监督下准备和烹饪菜单上的所有菜肴。他总是很乐意花时间回答任何问题并在必要时展示技术,我们从不感到匆忙或不确定。课程结束后,我们大家围坐在桌子旁,一起享用美味的饭菜。
与我之前参加的课程一样,我总是觉得很高兴有机会学习如何使用对我来说不熟悉的食材进行烹饪,或者向我展示准备和烹饪熟悉食材的不同方法。我还喜欢这样一个事实:你学习烹饪一顿完整的免费菜肴,准备好在家人和朋友身上尝试……我肯定会再次烹饪这些菜肴!
