I've taken part in several similar events in London (chocolate making, Japanese cooking, …) but I found Baking with Maria to be the most fun of all of them. There were nine people in the class I took, a mixture of solo (like me) and couples.... More

Being quite an adventurous cook who doesn't have a sweet tooth I looked for a course that could get me started on sweets, cakes and deserts and was very happy with what I learned.
