Gourmet Cooking Safaris.
The 'GUYS' Cooking Classes.
Delivering a World of Experiences through Food!
Come and cook in our country kitchen studio…get ready to roll your sleeves up!
We’re running a series of 4 hands-on cooking classes just for men (come out to one or all four classes)! The series of classes is all about learning how to make a delicious meal that is relatively quick to prepare and with delicious results. We welcome a maximum of 8 into our kitchen per class, so classes are hands-on. There are some ‘standards’, as well as some unique dishes – a good combination of the old and the new.

"Thank YOU very much for a most enjoyable evening in your kitchen !! Speaking for myself, a little apprehensive at first, but you (and Karen!!) made us feel very welcome in your home. The evening was terrific, wonderful choices for our initial session, fabulous flavours. and most of all, truly a lot of fun as well!! ... The recipes are easy to follow, and I for one, look forward to doing them at home. ...Truly looking forward to the following weeks. Five stars to you!!"
"Just wanted to send you this note to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful series of your Guys Cooking Classes which we just completed. I truly had a great time. Will miss my Tuesday evening gourmet delights, but then again, I can do these myself now, can't I !!"
The kitchen in action!

"I'm glad I got this xmas gift to come cook with you, I had an amazing time...I'll keep in touch and let you know when I can make it out to another class, thanks again for having me in your amazing kitchen and sharing your skills with me. Take care and we'll talk soon."

"I just wanted to say Thank You again I haven't had that much fun in a long time I looked forward to Thursdays. Both you and Karen were fun to work with and I enjoyed the banter back and forth. I took pleasure in what we created and learned, and the nice thing is any mistakes that we did make we ate so there were no mistakes."

"Just wanted to send you this note to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful series of your Guys Cooking Classes which we just completed. I truly had a great time. Will miss my Tuesday evening gourmet delights, but then again, I can do these myself now, can't I !!
I admit I was a little apprehensive the first evening, but you made us all feel so very comfortable in your kitchen, and we all had a great time.
I would like to add that in addition to the fabulous cooking "lessons", all your little "hints" and technique suggestions will make us a great deal more comfortable in our kitchens!! Many thanks again for the wonderful experience!"
