(this will cover tea/biscuits, your wool and postage of the squares to the charity)

I will be running a FREE FROM Cookery Class in September, having had requests from many of you to do so.  Due to health reasons I have spent the last 10 years on a gluten free, dairy free, soya free and egg free diet.  So I have plenty of tips and information to share with you.


Having cooked regularly for large groups of people at our classes over the last 14 years, there isn't a dietary requirement or condition I haven't dealt with. I know how difficult it can be to eat out, so I like people to come to Treetops and not have to worry about their lunch or supper, I can take care of it!

On Friday 28 September
10am - 1:30pm
£50


In October I will be running a general Autumn Cooking for Friends & Family cookery day, lots of great ideas for when you have get togethers, how to simplify things with what can be prepared ahead so that you can spend more time with your friends and family rather than cooking in the kitchen!

Tuesday 9 October
10am - 1:30pm
£50
