What our members say

My favourite recipe is Pitta Pizza’s, I can pick what toppings I like and I've even shown the people I live with how to make them!  AD

I hate vegetables but if I cook them myself I do sometimes try to eat them at lunchtime.  AL

I like it when we get to cook food from around the world like for Chinese New Year and Diwali.  JB
