  • Current members who wish to book into a vacancy need to email Alexia to book. Do not simply turn up to the class.
  • Spaces are allocated on a first-email-first-serve basis.
  • Although make-up classes are often possible during the term, they can only be offered if current class members let us know in advance when they’re unable to attend their usual class – this does not always happen.

  • If you are doing an extra class, the discounted fee of $16 is to be paid in cash at your class.

Extra Date - Cooking Class: Salads - Meals for Summer

Posted by kathryn in Nutrition and Cooking Classes

Seminar Details:

  • Date: Saturday 17 September – SOLD OUT
  • Second date: Saturday 19 November

  • Seminar includes: cooking demonstration, notes and recipes, tastings of the food and recipes discussed and a glass of wine on arrival.
