Wickedfood Earth Country Cooking School is offering a very special Valentines day experience, on a choice of two days:

• Saturday 13 February or;

Spend the day in the country, with a special person in your life, enjoying scrumptious food and good company. The day will include a hands-on cooking demonstration where we show you the elements of preparing a delicious 4-course meal and accompaniments, as well as tips on plating the various courses – you will also receive comprehensive recipe notes. This will be followed by a gourmet 4-course sit-down lunch accompanied by a complimentary glass of sparkling wine with the starters, and a glass of white wine with the main course (you are also welcome to bring your own special drinks for the occasion).
