Originally, I was a little sceptical about going to Luigi's; how would it compare to the food that…read moreI had in Italy? You know sometimes you can be disappointed when you taste the authentic food from the country and then come back to your own, go to a restaurant claiming to serve traditional cuisine from the country you visited and they're nowhere close! I'm happy to say that Luigi's has beautiful and delicious Italian food! The staff are good humoured, courteous, service was good and they are authentic Italian too. We found that Luigi's have a lower priced lunch menu, we had three courses and a drink each and paid around £25 in total! I had minestrone soup, chicken with winter vegetables, and then tiramisu for dessert everything was delicious....especially the tiramisu! Elle had Buffalo mozzarella salad, venison with vegetables, and then tiramisu for dessert. Elle's salad was a little bland and unseasoned, then venison which was beautifully cooked and tender and for dessert tiramisu. Overall we thought the food was very good, and would recommend their lunch menu to anyone. However a word of caution! I am lactose intolerant and Elle is Gluten/Wheat intolerant and the tiramisu though delicious has both gluten and milk in it. Fortunately I have pills to eat dairy, however Elle faced the consequences later on! (although said the tiramisu was worth it!) The atmosphere was overall Italian; with Italian music playing in the background, various pickles, wine, paintings and other Italian décor. A warm and friendly glimpse of a little piece of Italy.

My company hosted a hands on team building event at Lapan. At first I thought there'd be a catch…read morebecause of the low price, but actually it was faultless. We learned how to make 4 superb dishes (the best fish cakes I've ever tasted!). The entire group was totally thrilled with this cooking class. If you have allergies this is the right place. I have a wheat allergy and am very sensitive to lactose among other things. Others were vegetarian. Fran modified the menu so that we could all participate without missing dishes. I am really considering in getting gift vouchers for my friend's birthday.

This was an amazing afternoon Gastropub cooking class setup by my sister during my recent visit to…read moreLondon and how perfect it was on the national siblings day. The class is well organized, the size of the classes are small so makes for more hands on experience and individual attention. Our instructor was great and answered all questions in detail, provided great cooking tips and also tips on food presentation. We made the 3 course meal of seared scallops, lamb steaks with mashed potatoes and pane cotta dessert. It was a lovely combination. They clean the shop so well you wouldn't think they do 5 cooking classes a day there!! A nice way to spend an afternoon and have a great meal at the end.

Tried katsu chicken today with brown rice and fried potato, dumping and a egg roll. Miso soup is always included for free.

The staff were so nice and the man who lead the class was funny and made sure everyone was having a good time. The Prosecco and the cocktail we made may have added to that too!

I've done a fair few cooking classes in my time (still can't really cook though) but this was the…read morefirst time I've ever done a barbecue one - and I have to say that I learnt things right from the get go. Mostly because I hadn't realised I'd been setting up a barbecue incorrectly and the direct/indirect heat was really useful. I'd just been throwing everything on a high direct heat as is the British tradition (that way you can get the highly traditional burnt exterior and raw interior to every piece of food). Mind you, I did get some serious barbecue jealousy. The Weber grills are just so nice, although I know I'm never going to throw a grand and a half at a gas barbecue. Really my kettle charcoal grill is good enough, but perhaps one day I'll get a Weber equivalent. The use of brickettes really has made to want to chuck out my three year old lumpwood charcoal though - they lit so much easier than I'm used to at home. Regarding the actual course itself, I went on the barbecue basics course. As we arrived there were sausages already on to give us an early snack. They showed us how to do the direct/indirect with those, and some very simple stuff such as warming up some baguettes on the grill as well. Then we saw how to do beer can chicken (which was great by the way), and then something really wild that I'd never ever considered before - baking buns for burgers... on the actual grill. They looked great but were a bit dense - that's all down to the mix, but the actual technique was solid. A couple of chickens were jointed and marinaded before being grilled, and some burgers were made up. Location was great - it was in the beer garden of the Jolly Gardeners in South London, and we were proper lucky for the weather. By the time the class was over, I was stuffed - and it's also the first time I've done a cooking course and wandering off to get a pint was a bit of a normal. Best Friday morning I've had in a long, long time! Was a wonderful gift from my wife.
