Student Comments

Jennifer Klinec

These are just some of the comments from students who have attended classes at Eat Drink Talk: “Just a quick note to thank you for the Flavours of Mexico class last Tuesday. I really enojoyed it, and I am glad I have finally learnt to make tortillas and have tasted tomatillos, which I heard so much of.” “We had a great time at your Mexican class on Tuesday – such amazing flavours! We loved the freshness of the jicama slaw so we’ll have to get to Borough soon to pick up some jicama. We’re going to make some flour tortillas and ‘the best ever guacamole’ tonight to show off to our friends – will send photos if we remember to take some in between eating! " “Thanks for the great Sichuan class the other week – last night I went to Chinatown and stocked up so dan dan noodles will become a regular feature in my life! Let me know your Chinese class schedule as I’d love to learn about dumplings next…” “I took your Moroccan cooking class and really enjoyed it – thank you! I have already successfully made the scallops and chermoula.” “I meant to drop a line to say how much I enjoyed the knife skills class. I am still practising away to try and rid of some bad habits I had picked up. Easier said than done but getting there! I will check your schedule to choose my next class.” “I have been meaning to write and say how much we enjoyed our Moroccan class with you. Such good quality ingredients, teaching, cooking and atmosphere. Thank you.” “I have come to a few of your classes over the past couple of years and have had such a great time. I wanted to thank you for the inspiration you and your business has given me.” “Thank you very much for a lovely and inspirational South Indian class last week.” “I really enjoyed the Korean cooking class I did last year, have made the mandoo a couple of times since… Hopefully will be able to take another of your classes at some point this year – am already badgering my brother for another gift voucher.” “Thanks so much for a great class last night! I found it really fun and informative and the food was to die for. I’m looking forward to trying out the recipes at home.” “I came to one of your classes with my sister a while ago. We both had an amazing, inspiring time. We think you’re great and enjoy your newsletters too!” “I attended your fantastic Korean class last week with my friends. Many thanks for the class -I have already made the tartare at home.” “We came to a vegetarian cooking course a while back now, and have since been living in Austria. Thanks to the recipes we learnt and a new passion for food discovered, we became known amongst the international circle for our great dinner parties as ‘the British who don’t cook like most British’. Many couldn’t even tell that the recipes were vegetarian, and asked how we got so much flavour into the dishes (”how you put taste of meat in meal? Is so good!“).” “I have an addiction problem. Since the Flavours of Mexico class, I have now made (with some modifications from time to time) your “authentic Guacamole” more than 38 times. People are getting concerned about the habitual air of garlic and coriander which seems to pervade my life if not emanate from all pores ; I have repetitive strain injury (RSI also known as “Raver’s wrist “ ) from spending too much time with the mortar and pestle and I have now become a chilli groupie growing more than 5 varieties on the window sill but also haunting Borough Market for new and unexplored dried oddments. I have only you to blame for this addiction but am optimistic that once my son Morgan takes your Vietnamese class that I may shift my affliction to lemon grass.” “Just a quick mail to say thank you so much for a fab night on Tuesday. I really enjoyed it! It’s really great to see someone so enthusiastic and passionate about food – it was a real pleasure to have you share your knowledge with us. I’m feeling very inspired and am hoping to get brave enough to try some of the recipes, which is a huge credit to you, as I am terrified of cooking! Keep me posted if you’re doing any other vegetarian classes – would love to come again.” “Really enjoyed the course on Wednesday. Very inspiring – we’re making Dan Dan noodles for dinner today!” “I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Vietnamese and Laos cooking lesson and I have already made the chicken and asparagus recipe at home and it was again, fantastic!” “I wanted to thank both you and your assistant for making it such a fun and delicious evening; it was a feast for my senses ….. and stomach! And a very big thank you for introducing me to those wonderful cocktails – I think I’d better stock up on tequila!” “I attended your knife skills course a while back and enjoyed a wonderful day. Since then I signed up to receive your newsletter and continue to be inspired by your travels and recipes.” “I just wanted to send an email to say thanks very much for a fun Tuesday evening and sorry I was late again – I’m glad however that I still got to have my tamarind martini – yum ;-) I know the others really enjoyed themselves and Nicola’s even been out on her shopping trip to buy her Asian supplies! It was so refreshing to see how excited and passionate you are about your food, and will definitely keep an eye on your classes.” “I just wanted to say thank you so much for the great ‘Cuisine of Burma’ class last night. I think we all had a fantastic time – and were definitely all stuffed at the end of it! I’m not enormously confident in the kitchen (hence my friends buying me the voucher), but you made the recipes seem so simple that I’m determined to try them again at home!” “Thank-you for the class yesterday – I really enjoyed it. I came straight home and made the avocado soup for my husband. I will definitely be booking in for one of your other courses later in the year so keep me posted on what’s happening. Thanks again – I came home feeling very relaxed and enthused – it was like a spa day only with better food!” “Thanks for the fantastic class this evening, I really enjoyed it and definitely learned a lot which I can use to impress people when they come round for dinner!” “I had a great time in your Mexican and Handmade Pasta classes recently. I made the biscotti this weekend except I used almonds and 5 spiced coffee. Here’s a photo.” “I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for such a delicious and enjoyable evening, I loved every minute of it … especially the eating! I can’t wait to recreate all the dishes at home. Thanks again, and for the chili-spiked grapefruit margarita – I’m hooked!” “Together with my partner Marion we’ve been to a couple of your fantastic courses, most recently the Persian one which still has us swooning.” “My husband and I really enjoyed the course yesterday. The pasta was yummy. I made the Biscotti in the evening and I mixed the pistachio with some hazelnuts and they came out brilliantly. I gave some to our neighbour who loved them too. Brilliant class – thanks again.” “I really enjoyed last night – so well run and SUCH DELICIOUS FOOD! Very inspirational…. I’ll be in touch to book my second class asap… and give you a gnocchi bulletin when I’ve had a go at it.” “Just a quick word to thank you very much for a great class last night. I shall try the dishes out this weekend.” “I recently attended your Asian Fusion class. Just wanted to say a big thanks – really enjoyed the class and the food afterwards. I learnt quite a bit, even though I cook a lot, so really worthwhile. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point.” “Thanks again for the fantastic class on Sunday – had a blast! Went home and felt like chopping so I made a big pot of borscht!” “I attended your knife skills class a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. In fact it was so much fun that bang bang chicken featured for dinner last night, including perfectly cut cucumber and carrots! Thanks very much and the class was excellent.” “I really enjoyed last night and am glad I chose the class. The mussels, the squid and the beautiful scallops are great party dishes. You’re a good teacher and the atmosphere was great. So I am very much looking forward to the next lesson.” “I had a great evening, I can’t wait to start shopping for those Thai ingredients!” “We really enjoyed tastes of Szechuan last night! I am now hankering for a spicy Margarita. We’re sorry about leaving our recipe booklets there. Please consider it a sign that by leaving something, we want to come back for another class sometime!” “Thank you for a fantastic evening! The food was delicious and I had a wonderful time.” “Thank you for an excellent class, we really enjoyed it and love the skills and recipes we learned.” “I took one of your cooking classes (gastropub) a few years ago. It sparked a whole new era in my cooking enthusiasm and the subsequent efforts have brought joy to myself, my girlfriend and a host of guests/friends. I revisit your recipes regularly and I’d be keen to hear what classes there are in the near future as a new injection of ideas would not go amiss!” “I thoroughly enjoy your newsletters and my daughter had a lot of fun at her fish cookery evening – though I yet have to taste anything she learned to cook.” “I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the last course (Modern British cooking) very much and I have already cooked two of the courses (flatbread and Dover sole) last Saturday. I booked the next course already (pasta) and will be bringing my husband along.” “Just a quick note to say thank you for the great fish & seafood course you ran last night – I had a really good time. I shall definitely be coming back for more in the future!” “I really enjoyed the knife skills course yesterday – not only did I learn so much, but also some fantastic recipes (the pizza was wonderful)!” “Thanks for the knife skills class today, we really enjoyed it. All the knives in our drawer are now a lot sharper than when we left this morning.” “Just a little note to say how much I enjoyed yesterday evening’s Moroccan cookery class – it was great fun and the food we cooked was simply delicious. We are very keen to have a return visit – we just have to decide on which cuisine! Thank you so much for a lovely, fun, informative and delicious evening.” “Many thanks for the class yesterday – it was really inspiring! I am already wondering which class to book next.” “I just wanted to mail you to say that both myself and my friend really enjoyed the Thai class last night – so thank you very much for making it so informative and fun! I can’t wait to go and buy some ingredients and equipment (pestle and mortar in particular) in Chinatown asap and get cooking! Will definitely be booking another class in the not too distant future.” “Thanks again for a most enjoyable class. I’m always in the best of moods walking home from one of your classes. I can’t thank you enough for all of the fun I’ve had so far and I look forward to the next one! You make cooking a lot of fun and quite accessible to the terrified kitchen-goers, like myself.” “I made the salmon gravadlax yesterday and for the first time ever i toasted and ground spices in my spice grinder! I couldn’t believe the difference in the smell as the spices came through – i can understand why you prefer grinding your own – it smells so good! It feels good to be in the kitchen!” “Thank you for another superb evening. I was overwhelmed by a great desire to eat the sweet potato dish again so had to make it the next day – and that was after school parents evening !!! My friend Jane is doing the whole set of dishes for some vegetarians for Sunday lunch this weekend.” “What a great class! I move into a new kitchen on Saturday.. it will definitely inspire me! Thanks very much.” “On Saturday morning I went out to that Persian Shop on Holloway Road and bought all the ingredients for the meal we learnt on Wednesday. I made it all yesterday, and my partner and I were amazed by the results. The rice worked perfectly, and I got a delicious, crispy and golden tahdig, I was so proud. The lamb and aubergine was also delicious, we were eating until 1am!” “You are awesome! I can’t thank you enough for Tuesday night’s ‘Help! I Can’t Cook Anything!’ class. I was absolutely terrified when I first walked into your loft before the class started, but enjoyed it so much more than I thought possible and left in such a good mood, I still smile when I think about it. I walked home so happy about having attended, that I wish the class had gone on for a couple more hours, at least! I can’t wait to be able to take more classes of yours. I absolutely loved the class and I think it was during arguably the simplest dish we made, the tomato and chorizo salad, when I had the conscious thought of “wow, this looks and tastes amazing and I made this”. I can’t wait to be able to take more classes of yours. Thanks again and I should be in another class in a couple of weeks!" “Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful class last week. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to friends and family. I’m making the beef carpaccio and ginger cake with butterscotch sauce for my boyfriend at the weekend, dreamy….” “Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the How to Cook Fish II evening with you. We were received well and I thoroughly enjoyed your menu and the way you conducted the evening. I was very hungry to start with, but was contentedly replete at the end of my visit. I have cooked your recipes since I returned home and my friends think they are superb!” “A belated thank you for the class How to Cook Fish class last week – we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it made for a very memorable evening out. You were very knowledgeable and helped us learn a lot in a fun and relaxing way. We will certainly be trying out the recipes at home.” “I came to your class on the Food of Laos and Vietnam last week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’m not a very experimental cook usually, but seeing how simple and fun some of these dishes can be to make really inspired me. I also enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce about my travels to both those places. It was nice to meet you and thank you for a great evening!” “I thoroughly enjoyed your ‘How to Cook Fish I’ class on Wednesday night! It was a refreshing and very informative way to be taught – the food was also delicious. We shall be preparing one of the recipes this weekend.” “I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the class last night – you were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I have certainly been inspired to go out and buy a pestle and mortar!” “Thanks again for a fantastic evening last night; it was really interesting and the food we prepared was beautiful.” “I would just like to say that I had a brilliant time at the Spicy foods course on Wednesday and the food we made was the best Thai food I have ever tasted! I am a bit of a foodie so I have been to a few Thai restaurants (Thai Square, Windsor being my favourite). I cannot wait to make these dishes for my husband, as soon as I have located a Thai supermarket near our house. The soup was to die for, as was the prawn curry. Definitely recommend to anyone & can’t wait to put my new skills to the test!” “I would just like to say that I had an excellent time on Friday – very interesting and relaxed! I will certainly recommend this class to my friends and hopefully see you again in the future. Once again thanks. Good times.” “Thanks so much for a great night on Friday. We all loved it and have been talking about it all weekend.” “Thanks again for last night! We loved every minute of your class and the food was so different from what we are used to cooking and sooo tasty – we just thought the whole experience was fab! I am now just reading through your newsletters and love the insight they give.” “I sent my friend to one of your courses a while ago as a birthday present and he hasn’t stopped talking about it since. I have sampled some of the recipes you taught him and was very happily convinced. Plum sangria, dandelion salad with sheep’s milk cheese and then chickpea flour pizza – amazing!” “Just a quick note to say Thank You for last night. It was wonderful meeting you and you made us feel very welcome. We are both looking forward to trying out your delicious recipes really soon. Not sure which dish was my favourite, they were all great!!” “Just a quick note to say thank you for last night. I enjoyed the evening immensely and have already offered to pay for a lesson for my son. Very instructive and I will definitely try out some of the recipes.” “I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic class last night, my mother and I had a fantastic time and left with a lot of inspiration, fantastic recipes and full stomachs!. Hopefully we will be back very soon!” “Thanks for your newsletter Jennifer and again for the class last week, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I’m telling all my friends about how great you are and I hope I’ll get to another class sometime, especially if its one that starts with a cocktail!” “I just wanted to write and thank you again for the two very interesting cooking classes. I had lots of fun and learned some great recipes to try out at home.” “I came to one of your classes a couple of months ago, on Indian Fish and Seafood, and really loved it.” “Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Vietnamese class. I’ve been singing your praises, and will definitely be taking in another class!” “I did the Asian street food class with you a while back and have raved about it to the guys at work. I think my very enthusiastic feedback has inspired everyone and we were wondering how much it would cost for a private cooking class.” “I had a great time on Wednesday, the Vietnamese food was delicious, and your way of explaining things very clear and easy to follow! I look forward to the next session.” “I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed last night and cannot wait to buy the sherry at the weekend and wolf down the lot with a huge tub of vanilla ice cream!!” “The class was jam packed with good information and the hours flew by. I learned a lot of skills that will immediately make a difference in my home cooking, and came away with a full belly, some great recipes, new techniques and kitchen gadget tips. Thanks!” “Just a quick note to thank you for a really good course on Sunday. My knives are sharper and though I’ve been close to a couple of cuts, feel that my technique is definitely improved. A comment from a friend for whom I cooked dinner tonight – my diced courgettes provoked specific praise for their even cutting! I’ve never had that kind of compliment before.” “My friend and I had a fantastic time last night and I’ve been telling everyone at work today how good it was. You have a great thing going there..looking forward to the next one!” “I attended your Indian fish and seafood course a few weeks back and the class was awesome. I haven’t had the chance to try the recipes out myself just yet but rest assured I will be shortly!” “Thank-you so much for last Tuesday’s class. I couldn’t get over how incredibly delicious the food was and can’t wait to make some of the recipes again.” “I attended two of your cooking classes last year which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whenever I make any of the recipes I learned I get nothing but compliments so thank you!” “Many thanks for yesterday’s session. We had a blast and I am looking forward to cooking with you again soon. Best wishes, and keep up the fantastic business you run.” “Thanks for a great class yesterday. You’re obviously a real pro at what you do and I loved it.” “Last night was great fun, and educational. One of the perks of my jobs is entertaining at lunch, so I have tried a good portion of London’s top restaurants … I must say, as far as curries go, the one last night was up there with the best I have tasted in London… it was nice to meet some one with such a passion for food.” “I have bought a couple of cookery lessons for my husband over the past year and i have to give you some positive feedback! He loved the classes and really enjoyed them- he has basic knowledge of cookery but heaps of passion and interest in learning. He has really enjoyed the classes which started off as gifts for his 40th birthday last year. Also really enjoy your news letter and pass it onto anyone i can think of. Keep up good work!” “Just to say thanks for a really enjoyable evening during your Bali and Indonesia course earlier this week. I thought it was great, and very inspiring, and I really enjoyed how we all got to taste and smell a variety of key ingredients. I also loved your tips on where to source all this stuff—in fact I just got back from an excursion to China Town where I picked up all sorts of delightful things. I’ll be making Rujak and the prawn curry over the weekend! I thought the food we made was delicious, and am very excited about the ingredients I just picked up.” “I just wanted to thank you for last night’s course. I really enjoyed it and always nice to learn something new. But do the Indonesians recommend a good way to mask garlic/chilli breath?” “I just wanted to thank you for the Vegetarian Cooking Class my friends and I took with you last Wednesday evening. We really enjoyed the whole experience – meeting a few locals, learning about your different ingredients, and the class itself gave us some great ideas! I even went to the Borough Market on Saturday and found the Vincotto and Nigella Seeds so that I can re-create the recipes we prepared (I loved the salad one with the squash and figs)! We’re now back in the States, but will be sure to look you up if and when we make it back to London.” “I just wanted to say thank you for last week’s vegetarian course. It was hugely enjoyable and you’ll be pleased to know that I cooked two of the recipes (fig pudding and sweet potato fritters) yesterday for my wife and she was amazed – loved everything!” “Great course last night. Was well worth it, even though I missed one of the football games of the season!” “Thanks again for the course last week, Asian Street Food. I really enjoyed it.” “Thanks so much for the pasta course last week- I had a great time!” “Thanks again for last night – we really loved it! I’m sure we’ll be back again soon.” “I really enjoyed the class on Sunday – thank you very much. I was so inspired that I tried out the roti that very evening.” “Just a quick thank you for a very enjoyable evening yesterday. It was great fun as well as very informative. I can certainly see myself buying a big sea bass and a few quails and following your recipes. I hope to come again to another session soon.” “Thank you very much for our Christmas party – people haven’t stopped talking about it since!” “I just wanted to thank you again for our team’s private class on Friday night – everyone had a really great time! I know everyone here will be recommending Eat Drink Talk to their friends and hopefully you’ll see some if not all of us again.” “I bought my boyfriend a voucher for a class for his birthday. He ended up doing the Thai fish course and absolutely loved it. Thank you!” “Thank you for a fantastic class last night. I really enjoyed myself and I am dying to make the dishes we prepared! I will definitely be coming to another class next year.” “Thank you so much for the class yesterday. We were wowed by how simple some things are to make. I am bringing the biscotti into our team meeting this afternoon, not sure it fits our brand quite yet but I know that the taste will impress everybody! Please also add us to your newsletter list!” “Back in October I attended your Persian cooking class which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have since tried at home the martinis that were very good and a version of the lamb stew. I hope to attend another of your classes soon.” “Thank you for yet another wonderful course (Asian Street Food) the other night. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be back for some more classes in the New Year!” “Just a quick note to thank you for a really fun class. I picked up so much really useful information that I can now put into practice.” “I attended a Thai cooking night a couple of months ago and since have had 2 very successful Thai dinner parties for friends. I’m also going to enrol on another of your courses as soon as I get a minute as I’ve really enjoyed it!” “Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Persian class last night. Am definitely looking forward to attempting the rice dish – it was fabulous (as were all the dishes). :) Hope to attend another workshop soon.” “I really enjoyed the class yesterday. I wasn’t quite sure how it would be structured or what to expect but it was nicely informal and relaxed – and the food was excellent. I’m really looking forward to the next two! I think I’ll try out one or more of the recipes either this weekend or next weekend, as I’ve got people coming to stay.” “We recently came to your 1 year anniversary class as a wedding present and had such a great evening that I’m keen to come back as soon as possible! I’ve been raving about it so much at work that I’ve been asked to find out details about how a Christmas session might work!” “I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the class on Tuesday. Your approach was very different to other more ‘traditional’ classes I have taken – like Leiths, and all the better for it if I may say so. I have since recommended you to a number of friends.” “Many thanks for a wonderful dim sum lesson yesterday. We both enjoyed ourselves immensely and will soon be practicing at home!” “I just wanted to say thank you for a great evening of education, entertainment and eating. I was so surprised at just how intense the flavours were in the food we cooked and yet the recipes were incredibly simple. I know that part of this is down to the freshness and quality of the ingredients and I think there is a real lesson in taking the extra time to shop if you want to make something special. Thank you again and I have signed up for the second fish class.” “Thank you for a fab class on Saturday. I had a great time and I know everyone else did too. Your pain au chocolat is now legendary!” “Thanks very much for yesterday’s class too. Really good food and no doubt I shall be cooking all courses over the next month!” “I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed last night’s class. I’ll certainly recommend it to my friends and I’m very excited about trying out the dishes!!” “My mother and I really enjoyed the Thai cookery course on the 6th – we’ve already tried out the curry and it went down very well with the rest of the family!” “just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed today’s knife skills course with Jerome Henry – and as a bonus I managed to get through it without injury! I look forward to putting my new skills to good use and am already deciding on which class to try next. Thanks again for a wonderful day!” “We came to your ‘Summer Sushi’ course a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it – we will definitely be back for another class. Chloe has since made sushi – I plan to make some this week and have made the passion fruit syrup which is delicious.” “Just a note to say how much we all enjoyed your cooking lesson a few weeks ago. I made the chicken marinated in garam masala and yoghurt last week and it was a great success – so easy even my domestically challenged housemate is now making it solo (he’s added it to his repertoire of three dishes). I’ll recommend he goes along to one of your lessons himself!” “Many thanks for the fantastic evening from all of us! We had a brilliant time and there has been little chat about anything else but last night’s cooking in the office today – I think many of us are going to give the recipes a try soon and are especially grateful for the recipe binders and shopping suggestions. We will warmly recommend your classes to friends and colleagues!” “I just wanted to let you know I cooked the recipes the following Wednesday for a few friends and everyone loved them! Like me, they loved the grape chutney more than life itself and were seriously impressed. (And I managed to get all the ingredients!) Your class has given me a renewed enthusiasm for trying new recipes and for cooking in general. I have signed up to your newsletter and really hope I can come to another one of your classes at some point in the future. (and I’ve passed the details on to a few friends!)” “Yesterday’s class was great and lots of fun!!! I am very impressed with the fish and will definitely try it one day soon. It looked so impressive! I’m very glad about the new skills I’ve learned and will definitely sharpen my cleaver every time before use!” “Thanks for the class last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Didn’t think dan dan noodles would be so easy.” “I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for our cooking class on Saturday! It was a great class – we all really enjoyed it and the food was delicious! My favourite was the almond biscotti – I can rarely eat that sort of thing so using the GF flour was a real treat! Thank you for all your time and efforts in the preparation and being so relaxed about my changes in plan/ numbers etc!! I’m sure we will see you again soon.” “Thank you again for a fantastic evening. We had a great time and really enjoyed all the recipes that were prepared… I know we will be using these again soon! Your space is fantastic and a wonderful spot for people to learn, chat and enjoy food… you have created a lovely atmosphere and I know we will be back in the future to try some of the other sessions you run.” “Just wanted to say thanks for the class last night…fascinating, not to mention delicious…a great way to spend an evening!” “Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the class last night. I thought your style was just perfect, and the way that the class ran would encourage anyone to come back again. I didn’t want it to end, I was enjoying it all so much!” “I came to your class for men last night and had a fantastic time – the class was fun and informative and the food was really tasty! I will be making dim-sum for sure! My friend also really enjoyed himself and was raving about how great your classes are and what a fab time he had – and is intending to make the meal again for his lady friend’s birthday. Thanks again!!” “I wanted to say thank you so much for the class last night. I have to say, as a cooking novice and as a bloke, I was a bit frightened in advance, but you both worked so well to make it a really comfortable and enjoyable session. You’ve got such a great concept (I’ve already told around about ten people how good it was!). I had a great time and I feel inspired. You’ve opened my eyes to modern Asian cooking which I hadn’t ever considered.” “Firstly thanks very much for last night’s class. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot, fish/seafood is definitely my achilles heel so I feel more confident in cooking fish (Actually I’m cooking fish tonight for friends).” “I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course on Tuesday night (curry). The pace of the evening was perfect, the food absolutely delicious and your teaching style really relaxed and engaging. I will definitely be back!” “Just wanted to say a big thank you for a wonderful start to our day, with the brunch course today. We had such a wonderful time, and were impressed with the recipes, the format, the space and your knowledge. We will recommend the courses to all we know and hope to participate once again.” “Thanks again for a great class -most scrummy!! My husband – not the most enthusiastic foodie -was captivated and is threatening to make the oxtail on Friday and even go into the butchers to buy the meat (rather than the supermarket) So you have a convert!!!!.” “I’ve been to a few classes in London and I think that Eat Drink Talk are easily the most enjoyable – they manage to be massively informative, educational and great fun. Overall, I think that the originality of recipes as well as the high quality of ingredients sets Eat Drink Talk apart.” “You actually came recommended from a colleague of mine who attended a Japanese cookery course with you and has not stopped raving about it! So I would have to agree with you and say that they seem to make fantastic presents, plus I can come along and enjoy too! “thank you so much for our wonderful Arabian Nights cookery evening on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed it immensely, it was great to try out so much delicious food and be given your amazing recipes to take home. It was all so well organised and you were both so kind and helpful as well, thank you. I will definitely be recommending you to all my friends, and I hope to come back soon.” “eat drink talk is excellent. I went there for the Sunday brunch class. Not only do you eat what you make (with only top notch ingredients) but you get to sample lots of lovely ingredients as well, and Jennifer is very knowledgeable. Ideal for people who are confident cooks as well as those who want to learn. Really good value for money as well!” “I wanted to thank you very much indeed for your class last night (market inspired salads) which I really enjoyed. I have been to various cookery classes before in London and I will definitely be recommending your classes to my friends as the most relaxed and informative and fun. I loved your recipes and it was a terrific evening which everyone enjoyed – thank you very much, until next time!” “Your classes have proved inspirational- my partner (remember, the chocolate fanatic?) made Caesar salad from scratch, complete with croutons, and I made some sprouts (al dente) and tossed them with olive oil and mint leaves. It was also the first time I had a dinner party in five years. Thank you for the confidence we gained at your table.” “Thank you again for a wonderfully inspiring evening last night. We talked about it all the way home!” “Just a belated note to thank you for our class last week. Everyone really enjoyed it and you are certainly a fountain of knowledge!” “I came to your class on Persian food on 7th November and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have cooked both the lamb dish and the pilaff at home. I am gradually becoming addicted to pomegranates.” “Thank you so much for yesterday evening. The course was my birthday present from my daughter and I felt as though she had taken me to a first class restaurant. We both love cooking and enjoyed the evening enormously.” “Just to thank you very much for a brilliant evening – we won’t have to eat now ’til at least Thursday!!!! Lovely venue, super atmosphere and inspiring ideas! Look forward to coming again soon.” “thanks for the course last night, it was fab – soooo wanted poached quince for brekkie this morning! Will be adding bellinis, and the strudel (and the quince!) to my Christmas party menu. If you do any dessert / baking ones I’m definitely going to them!” “Thank you so much for the Singapore Chili Crab session! My husband and I really enjoyed it. We’re going to prepare it for our family between x-mas and New Year.” “I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this mornings class, I thought it was great fun and very informative, while I love cooking I lack the confidence to be a bit more experimental, but now am inspired to let myself go a bit more and be more exploratory with my efforts.” “I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for the class earlier this week. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to come back to learn about curry!” “This is just a quick note to say thank you for Saturday. We all really enjoyed ourselves. I gave a chocolate truffle to my husband who was very appreciative and said it was the best truffle he’d ever had. Thank you once again for a fun, but educational afternoon.” “Learnt loads but as a complete non-cook it wasn’t overwhelming at all. Really informative but in an informal way so it felt more like a conversation than being taught.”

Student Comments 2010-03-06T18:28:30+00:00 *These are just some of the comments from students who have attended classes at Eat Drink Talk:* "Just a quick note to thank you for the Flavours of Mexico class last Tuesday. I really enojoyed it, and I am glad I have finally learnt to make tortillas and have tasted tomatillos, which I heard so much of." "We had a great time at your Mexican class on Tuesday - such amazing flavours! We loved the freshness of the jicama slaw so we'll have to get to Borough soon to pick up some jicama. We're going to make some flour tortillas and 'the best ever guacamole' tonight to show off to our friends - will send photos if we remember to take some in between eating! " "Thanks for the great Sichuan class the other week – last night I went to Chinatown and stocked up so dan dan noodles will become a regular feature in my life! Let me know your Chinese class schedule as I’d love to learn about dumplings next..." "I took your Moroccan cooking class and really enjoyed it - thank you! I have already successfully made the scallops and chermoula." "I meant to drop a line to say how much I enjoyed the knife skills class. I am still practising away to try and rid of some bad habits I had picked up. Easier said than done but getting there! I will check your schedule to choose my next class." "I have been meaning to write and say how much we enjoyed our Moroccan class with you. Such good quality ingredients, teaching, cooking and atmosphere. Thank you." "I have come to a few of your classes over the past couple of years and have had such a great time. I wanted to thank you for the inspiration you and your business has given me." "Thank you very much for a lovely and inspirational South Indian class last week." "I really enjoyed the Korean cooking class I did last year, have made the mandoo a couple of times since... Hopefully will be able to take another of your classes at some point this year - am already badgering my brother for another gift voucher." "Thanks so much for a great class last night! I found it really fun and informative and the food was to die for. I'm looking forward to trying out the recipes at home." "I came to one of your classes with my sister a while ago. We both had an amazing, inspiring time. We think you're great and enjoy your newsletters too!" "I attended your fantastic Korean class last week with my friends. Many thanks for the class -I have already made the tartare at home." "We came to a vegetarian cooking course a while back now, and have since been living in Austria. Thanks to the recipes we learnt and a new passion for food discovered, we became known amongst the international circle for our great dinner parties as 'the British who don't cook like most British'. Many couldn't even tell that the recipes were vegetarian, and asked how we got so much flavour into the dishes ("how you put taste of meat in meal? Is so good!")." "I have an addiction problem. Since the Flavours of Mexico class, I have now made (with some modifications from time to time) your “authentic Guacamole” more than 38 times. People are getting concerned about the habitual air of garlic and coriander which seems to pervade my life if not emanate from all pores ; I have repetitive strain injury (RSI also known as "Raver's wrist “ ) from spending too much time with the mortar and pestle and I have now become a chilli groupie growing more than 5 varieties on the window sill but also haunting Borough Market for new and unexplored dried oddments. I have only you to blame for this addiction but am optimistic that once my son Morgan takes your Vietnamese class that I may shift my affliction to lemon grass." "Just a quick mail to say thank you so much for a fab night on Tuesday. I really enjoyed it! It's really great to see someone so enthusiastic and passionate about food - it was a real pleasure to have you share your knowledge with us. I'm feeling very inspired and am hoping to get brave enough to try some of the recipes, which is a huge credit to you, as I am terrified of cooking! Keep me posted if you're doing any other vegetarian classes - would love to come again." "Really enjoyed the course on Wednesday. Very inspiring - we're making Dan Dan noodles for dinner today!" "I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Vietnamese and Laos cooking lesson and I have already made the chicken and asparagus recipe at home and it was again, fantastic!" "I wanted to thank both you and your assistant for making it such a fun and delicious evening; it was a feast for my senses ….. and stomach! And a very big thank you for introducing me to those wonderful cocktails - I think I'd better stock up on tequila!" "I attended your knife skills course a while back and enjoyed a wonderful day. Since then I signed up to receive your newsletter and continue to be inspired by your travels and recipes." "I just wanted to send an email to say thanks very much for a fun Tuesday evening and sorry I was late again - I'm glad however that I still got to have my tamarind martini - yum ;-) I know the others really enjoyed themselves and Nicola's even been out on her shopping trip to buy her Asian supplies! It was so refreshing to see how excited and passionate you are about your food, and will definitely keep an eye on your classes." "I just wanted to say thank you so much for the great 'Cuisine of Burma' class last night. I think we all had a fantastic time - and were definitely all stuffed at the end of it! I'm not enormously confident in the kitchen (hence my friends buying me the voucher), but you made the recipes seem so simple that I'm determined to try them again at home!" "Thank-you for the class yesterday - I really enjoyed it. I came straight home and made the avocado soup for my husband. I will definitely be booking in for one of your other courses later in the year so keep me posted on what's happening. Thanks again - I came home feeling very relaxed and enthused - it was like a spa day only with better food!" "Thanks for the fantastic class this evening, I really enjoyed it and definitely learned a lot which I can use to impress people when they come round for dinner!" "I had a great time in your Mexican and Handmade Pasta classes recently. I made the biscotti this weekend except I used almonds and 5 spiced coffee. Here's a photo." "I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for such a delicious and enjoyable evening, I loved every minute of it ... especially the eating! I can't wait to recreate all the dishes at home. Thanks again, and for the chili-spiked grapefruit margarita - I'm hooked!" "Together with my partner Marion we’ve been to a couple of your fantastic courses, most recently the Persian one which still has us swooning." "My husband and I really enjoyed the course yesterday. The pasta was yummy. I made the Biscotti in the evening and I mixed the pistachio with some hazelnuts and they came out brilliantly. I gave some to our neighbour who loved them too. Brilliant class - thanks again." "I really enjoyed last night – so well run and SUCH DELICIOUS FOOD! Very inspirational…. I’ll be in touch to book my second class asap… and give you a gnocchi bulletin when I’ve had a go at it." "Just a quick word to thank you very much for a great class last night. I shall try the dishes out this weekend." "I recently attended your Asian Fusion class. Just wanted to say a big thanks - really enjoyed the class and the food afterwards. I learnt quite a bit, even though I cook a lot, so really worthwhile. I'm sure I'll be back at some point." "Thanks again for the fantastic class on Sunday - had a blast! Went home and felt like chopping so I made a big pot of borscht!" "I attended your knife skills class a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. In fact it was so much fun that bang bang chicken featured for dinner last night, including perfectly cut cucumber and carrots! Thanks very much and the class was excellent." "I really enjoyed last night and am glad I chose the class. The mussels, the squid and the beautiful scallops are great party dishes. You're a good teacher and the atmosphere was great. So I am very much looking forward to the next lesson." "I had a great evening, I can't wait to start shopping for those Thai ingredients!" "We really enjoyed tastes of Szechuan last night! I am now hankering for a spicy Margarita. We're sorry about leaving our recipe booklets there. Please consider it a sign that by leaving something, we want to come back for another class sometime!" "Thank you for a fantastic evening! The food was delicious and I had a wonderful time." "Thank you for an excellent class, we really enjoyed it and love the skills and recipes we learned." "I took one of your cooking classes (gastropub) a few years ago. It sparked a whole new era in my cooking enthusiasm and the subsequent efforts have brought joy to myself, my girlfriend and a host of guests/friends. I revisit your recipes regularly and I'd be keen to hear what classes there are in the near future as a new injection of ideas would not go amiss!" "I thoroughly enjoy your newsletters and my daughter had a lot of fun at her fish cookery evening - though I yet have to taste anything she learned to cook." "I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the last course (Modern British cooking) very much and I have already cooked two of the courses (flatbread and Dover sole) last Saturday. I booked the next course already (pasta) and will be bringing my husband along." "Just a quick note to say thank you for the great fish & seafood course you ran last night – I had a really good time. I shall definitely be coming back for more in the future!" "I really enjoyed the knife skills course yesterday - not only did I learn so much, but also some fantastic recipes (the pizza was wonderful)!" "Thanks for the knife skills class today, we really enjoyed it. All the knives in our drawer are now a lot sharper than when we left this morning." "Just a little note to say how much I enjoyed yesterday evening's Moroccan cookery class - it was great fun and the food we cooked was simply delicious. We are very keen to have a return visit - we just have to decide on which cuisine! Thank you so much for a lovely, fun, informative and delicious evening." "Many thanks for the class yesterday - it was really inspiring! I am already wondering which class to book next." "I just wanted to mail you to say that both myself and my friend really enjoyed the Thai class last night – so thank you very much for making it so informative and fun! I can’t wait to go and buy some ingredients and equipment (pestle and mortar in particular) in Chinatown asap and get cooking! Will definitely be booking another class in the not too distant future." "Thanks again for a most enjoyable class. I'm always in the best of moods walking home from one of your classes. I can't thank you enough for all of the fun I've had so far and I look forward to the next one! You make cooking a lot of fun and quite accessible to the terrified kitchen-goers, like myself." "I made the salmon gravadlax yesterday and for the first time ever i toasted and ground spices in my spice grinder! I couldn't believe the difference in the smell as the spices came through - i can understand why you prefer grinding your own - it smells so good! It feels good to be in the kitchen!" "Thank you for another superb evening. I was overwhelmed by a great desire to eat the sweet potato dish again so had to make it the next day - and that was after school parents evening !!! My friend Jane is doing the whole set of dishes for some vegetarians for Sunday lunch this weekend." "What a great class! I move into a new kitchen on Saturday.. it will definitely inspire me! Thanks very much." "On Saturday morning I went out to that Persian Shop on Holloway Road and bought all the ingredients for the meal we learnt on Wednesday. I made it all yesterday, and my partner and I were amazed by the results. The rice worked perfectly, and I got a delicious, crispy and golden tahdig, I was so proud. The lamb and aubergine was also delicious, we were eating until 1am!" "You are awesome! I can't thank you enough for Tuesday night's 'Help! I Can't Cook Anything!' class. I was absolutely terrified when I first walked into your loft before the class started, but enjoyed it so much more than I thought possible and left in such a good mood, I still smile when I think about it. I walked home so happy about having attended, that I wish the class had gone on for a couple more hours, at least! I can't wait to be able to take more classes of yours. I absolutely loved the class and I think it was during arguably the simplest dish we made, the tomato and chorizo salad, when I had the conscious thought of "wow, this looks and tastes amazing and I made this". I can't wait to be able to take more classes of yours. Thanks again and I should be in another class in a couple of weeks!" "Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful class last week. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to friends and family. I'm making the beef carpaccio and ginger cake with butterscotch sauce for my boyfriend at the weekend, dreamy…." "Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the How to Cook Fish II evening with you. We were received well and I thoroughly enjoyed your menu and the way you conducted the evening. I was very hungry to start with, but was contentedly replete at the end of my visit. I have cooked your recipes since I returned home and my friends think they are superb!" "A belated thank you for the class How to Cook Fish class last week - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it made for a very memorable evening out. You were very knowledgeable and helped us learn a lot in a fun and relaxing way. We will certainly be trying out the recipes at home." "I came to your class on the Food of Laos and Vietnam last week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm not a very experimental cook usually, but seeing how simple and fun some of these dishes can be to make really inspired me. I also enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce about my travels to both those places. It was nice to meet you and thank you for a great evening!" "I thoroughly enjoyed your 'How to Cook Fish I' class on Wednesday night! It was a refreshing and very informative way to be taught - the food was also delicious. We shall be preparing one of the recipes this weekend." "I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the class last night - you were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I have certainly been inspired to go out and buy a pestle and mortar!" "Thanks again for a fantastic evening last night; it was really interesting and the food we prepared was beautiful." "I would just like to say that I had a brilliant time at the Spicy foods course on Wednesday and the food we made was the best Thai food I have ever tasted! I am a bit of a foodie so I have been to a few Thai restaurants (Thai Square, Windsor being my favourite). I cannot wait to make these dishes for my husband, as soon as I have located a Thai supermarket near our house. The soup was to die for, as was the prawn curry. Definitely recommend to anyone & can't wait to put my new skills to the test!" "I would just like to say that I had an excellent time on Friday – very interesting and relaxed! I will certainly recommend this class to my friends and hopefully see you again in the future. Once again thanks. Good times." "Thanks so much for a great night on Friday. We all loved it and have been talking about it all weekend." "Thanks again for last night! We loved every minute of your class and the food was so different from what we are used to cooking and sooo tasty - we just thought the whole experience was fab! I am now just reading through your newsletters and love the insight they give." "I sent my friend to one of your courses a while ago as a birthday present and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. I have sampled some of the recipes you taught him and was very happily convinced. Plum sangria, dandelion salad with sheep's milk cheese and then chickpea flour pizza - amazing!" "Just a quick note to say Thank You for last night. It was wonderful meeting you and you made us feel very welcome. We are both looking forward to trying out your delicious recipes really soon. Not sure which dish was my favourite, they were all great!!" "Just a quick note to say thank you for last night. I enjoyed the evening immensely and have already offered to pay for a lesson for my son. Very instructive and I will definitely try out some of the recipes." "I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic class last night, my mother and I had a fantastic time and left with a lot of inspiration, fantastic recipes and full stomachs!. Hopefully we will be back very soon!" "Thanks for your newsletter Jennifer and again for the class last week, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm telling all my friends about how great you are and I hope I'll get to another class sometime, especially if its one that starts with a cocktail!" "I just wanted to write and thank you again for the two very interesting cooking classes. I had lots of fun and learned some great recipes to try out at home." "I came to one of your classes a couple of months ago, on Indian Fish and Seafood, and really loved it." "Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Vietnamese class. I've been singing your praises, and will definitely be taking in another class!" "I did the Asian street food class with you a while back and have raved about it to the guys at work. I think my very enthusiastic feedback has inspired everyone and we were wondering how much it would cost for a private cooking class." "I had a great time on Wednesday, the Vietnamese food was delicious, and your way of explaining things very clear and easy to follow! I look forward to the next session." "I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed last night and cannot wait to buy the sherry at the weekend and wolf down the lot with a huge tub of vanilla ice cream!!" "The class was jam packed with good information and the hours flew by. I learned a lot of skills that will immediately make a difference in my home cooking, and came away with a full belly, some great recipes, new techniques and kitchen gadget tips. Thanks!" "Just a quick note to thank you for a really good course on Sunday. My knives are sharper and though I’ve been close to a couple of cuts, feel that my technique is definitely improved. A comment from a friend for whom I cooked dinner tonight – my diced courgettes provoked specific praise for their even cutting! I’ve never had that kind of compliment before." "My friend and I had a fantastic time last night and I've been telling everyone at work today how good it was. You have a great thing going there..looking forward to the next one!" "I attended your Indian fish and seafood course a few weeks back and the class was awesome. I haven't had the chance to try the recipes out myself just yet but rest assured I will be shortly!" "Thank-you so much for last Tuesday’s class. I couldn’t get over how incredibly delicious the food was and can’t wait to make some of the recipes again." "I attended two of your cooking classes last year which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whenever I make any of the recipes I learned I get nothing but compliments so thank you!" "Many thanks for yesterday’s session. We had a blast and I am looking forward to cooking with you again soon. Best wishes, and keep up the fantastic business you run." "Thanks for a great class yesterday. You’re obviously a real pro at what you do and I loved it." "Last night was great fun, and educational. One of the perks of my jobs is entertaining at lunch, so I have tried a good portion of London’s top restaurants … I must say, as far as curries go, the one last night was up there with the best I have tasted in London… it was nice to meet some one with such a passion for food." "I have bought a couple of cookery lessons for my husband over the past year and i have to give you some positive feedback! He loved the classes and really enjoyed them- he has basic knowledge of cookery but heaps of passion and interest in learning. He has really enjoyed the classes which started off as gifts for his 40th birthday last year. Also really enjoy your news letter and pass it onto anyone i can think of. Keep up good work!" "Just to say thanks for a really enjoyable evening during your Bali and Indonesia course earlier this week. I thought it was great, and very inspiring, and I really enjoyed how we all got to taste and smell a variety of key ingredients. I also loved your tips on where to source all this stuff--in fact I just got back from an excursion to China Town where I picked up all sorts of delightful things. I'll be making Rujak and the prawn curry over the weekend! I thought the food we made was delicious, and am very excited about the ingredients I just picked up." "I just wanted to thank you for last night's course. I really enjoyed it and always nice to learn something new. But do the Indonesians recommend a good way to mask garlic/chilli breath?" "I just wanted to thank you for the Vegetarian Cooking Class my friends and I took with you last Wednesday evening. We really enjoyed the whole experience - meeting a few locals, learning about your different ingredients, and the class itself gave us some great ideas! I even went to the Borough Market on Saturday and found the Vincotto and Nigella Seeds so that I can re-create the recipes we prepared (I loved the salad one with the squash and figs)! We're now back in the States, but will be sure to look you up if and when we make it back to London." "I just wanted to say thank you for last week's vegetarian course. It was hugely enjoyable and you'll be pleased to know that I cooked two of the recipes (fig pudding and sweet potato fritters) yesterday for my wife and she was amazed - loved everything!" "Great course last night. Was well worth it, even though I missed one of the football games of the season!" "Thanks again for the course last week, Asian Street Food. I really enjoyed it." "Thanks so much for the pasta course last week- I had a great time!" "Thanks again for last night - we really loved it! I'm sure we'll be back again soon." "I really enjoyed the class on Sunday - thank you very much. I was so inspired that I tried out the roti that very evening." "Just a quick thank you for a very enjoyable evening yesterday. It was great fun as well as very informative. I can certainly see myself buying a big sea bass and a few quails and following your recipes. I hope to come again to another session soon." "Thank you very much for our Christmas party – people haven’t stopped talking about it since!" "I just wanted to thank you again for our team's private class on Friday night - everyone had a really great time! I know everyone here will be recommending Eat Drink Talk to their friends and hopefully you'll see some if not all of us again." "I bought my boyfriend a voucher for a class for his birthday. He ended up doing the Thai fish course and absolutely loved it. Thank you!" "Thank you for a fantastic class last night. I really enjoyed myself and I am dying to make the dishes we prepared! I will definitely be coming to another class next year." "Thank you so much for the class yesterday. We were wowed by how simple some things are to make. I am bringing the biscotti into our team meeting this afternoon, not sure it fits our brand quite yet but I know that the taste will impress everybody! Please also add us to your newsletter list!" "Back in October I attended your Persian cooking class which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have since tried at home the martinis that were very good and a version of the lamb stew. I hope to attend another of your classes soon." "Thank you for yet another wonderful course (Asian Street Food) the other night. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be back for some more classes in the New Year!" "Just a quick note to thank you for a really fun class. I picked up so much really useful information that I can now put into practice." "I attended a Thai cooking night a couple of months ago and since have had 2 very successful Thai dinner parties for friends. I'm also going to enrol on another of your courses as soon as I get a minute as I've really enjoyed it!" "Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Persian class last night. Am definitely looking forward to attempting the rice dish - it was fabulous (as were all the dishes). :) Hope to attend another workshop soon." "I really enjoyed the class yesterday. I wasn't quite sure how it would be structured or what to expect but it was nicely informal and relaxed - and the food was excellent. I'm really looking forward to the next two! I think I'll try out one or more of the recipes either this weekend or next weekend, as I've got people coming to stay." "We recently came to your 1 year anniversary class as a wedding present and had such a great evening that I’m keen to come back as soon as possible! I’ve been raving about it so much at work that I’ve been asked to find out details about how a Christmas session might work!" "I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the class on Tuesday. Your approach was very different to other more 'traditional' classes I have taken - like Leiths, and all the better for it if I may say so. I have since recommended you to a number of friends." "Many thanks for a wonderful dim sum lesson yesterday. We both enjoyed ourselves immensely and will soon be practicing at home!" "I just wanted to say thank you for a great evening of education, entertainment and eating. I was so surprised at just how intense the flavours were in the food we cooked and yet the recipes were incredibly simple. I know that part of this is down to the freshness and quality of the ingredients and I think there is a real lesson in taking the extra time to shop if you want to make something special. Thank you again and I have signed up for the second fish class." "Thank you for a fab class on Saturday. I had a great time and I know everyone else did too. Your pain au chocolat is now legendary!" "Thanks very much for yesterday’s class too. Really good food and no doubt I shall be cooking all courses over the next month!" "I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed last night's class. I'll certainly recommend it to my friends and I'm very excited about trying out the dishes!!" "My mother and I really enjoyed the Thai cookery course on the 6th - we've already tried out the curry and it went down very well with the rest of the family!" "just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed today's knife skills course with Jerome Henry - and as a bonus I managed to get through it without injury! I look forward to putting my new skills to good use and am already deciding on which class to try next. Thanks again for a wonderful day!" "We came to your 'Summer Sushi' course a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it - we will definitely be back for another class. Chloe has since made sushi - I plan to make some this week and have made the passion fruit syrup which is delicious." "Just a note to say how much we all enjoyed your cooking lesson a few weeks ago. I made the chicken marinated in garam masala and yoghurt last week and it was a great success - so easy even my domestically challenged housemate is now making it solo (he's added it to his repertoire of three dishes). I'll recommend he goes along to one of your lessons himself!" "Many thanks for the fantastic evening from all of us! We had a brilliant time and there has been little chat about anything else but last night’s cooking in the office today – I think many of us are going to give the recipes a try soon and are especially grateful for the recipe binders and shopping suggestions. We will warmly recommend your classes to friends and colleagues!" "I just wanted to let you know I cooked the recipes the following Wednesday for a few friends and everyone loved them! Like me, they loved the grape chutney more than life itself and were seriously impressed. (And I managed to get all the ingredients!) Your class has given me a renewed enthusiasm for trying new recipes and for cooking in general. I have signed up to your newsletter and really hope I can come to another one of your classes at some point in the future. (and I've passed the details on to a few friends!)" "Yesterday's class was great and lots of fun!!! I am very impressed with the fish and will definitely try it one day soon. It looked so impressive! I'm very glad about the new skills I've learned and will definitely sharpen my cleaver every time before use!" "Thanks for the class last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Didn’t think dan dan noodles would be so easy." "I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for our cooking class on Saturday! It was a great class - we all really enjoyed it and the food was delicious! My favourite was the almond biscotti - I can rarely eat that sort of thing so using the GF flour was a real treat! Thank you for all your time and efforts in the preparation and being so relaxed about my changes in plan/ numbers etc!! I'm sure we will see you again soon." "Thank you again for a fantastic evening. We had a great time and really enjoyed all the recipes that were prepared... I know we will be using these again soon! Your space is fantastic and a wonderful spot for people to learn, chat and enjoy food... you have created a lovely atmosphere and I know we will be back in the future to try some of the other sessions you run." "Just wanted to say thanks for the class last night...fascinating, not to mention delicious...a great way to spend an evening!" "Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the class last night. I thought your style was just perfect, and the way that the class ran would encourage anyone to come back again. I didn't want it to end, I was enjoying it all so much!" "I came to your class for men last night and had a fantastic time – the class was fun and informative and the food was really tasty! I will be making dim-sum for sure! My friend also really enjoyed himself and was raving about how great your classes are and what a fab time he had – and is intending to make the meal again for his lady friend’s birthday. Thanks again!!" "I wanted to say thank you so much for the class last night. I have to say, as a cooking novice and as a bloke, I was a bit frightened in advance, but you both worked so well to make it a really comfortable and enjoyable session. You’ve got such a great concept (I’ve already told around about ten people how good it was!). I had a great time and I feel inspired. You’ve opened my eyes to modern Asian cooking which I hadn’t ever considered." "Firstly thanks very much for last night's class. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot, fish/seafood is definitely my achilles heel so I feel more confident in cooking fish (Actually I'm cooking fish tonight for friends)." "I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course on Tuesday night (curry). The pace of the evening was perfect, the food absolutely delicious and your teaching style really relaxed and engaging. I will definitely be back!" "Just wanted to say a big thank you for a wonderful start to our day, with the brunch course today. We had such a wonderful time, and were impressed with the recipes, the format, the space and your knowledge. We will recommend the courses to all we know and hope to participate once again." "Thanks again for a great class -most scrummy!! My husband - not the most enthusiastic foodie -was captivated and is threatening to make the oxtail on Friday and even go into the butchers to buy the meat (rather than the supermarket) So you have a convert!!!!." "I've been to a few classes in London and I think that Eat Drink Talk are easily the most enjoyable - they manage to be massively informative, educational and great fun. Overall, I think that the originality of recipes as well as the high quality of ingredients sets Eat Drink Talk apart." "You actually came recommended from a colleague of mine who attended a Japanese cookery course with you and has not stopped raving about it! So I would have to agree with you and say that they seem to make fantastic presents, plus I can come along and enjoy too! "thank you so much for our wonderful Arabian Nights cookery evening on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed it immensely, it was great to try out so much delicious food and be given your amazing recipes to take home. It was all so well organised and you were both so kind and helpful as well, thank you. I will definitely be recommending you to all my friends, and I hope to come back soon." "eat drink talk is excellent. I went there for the Sunday brunch class. Not only do you eat what you make (with only top notch ingredients) but you get to sample lots of lovely ingredients as well, and Jennifer is very knowledgeable. Ideal for people who are confident cooks as well as those who want to learn. Really good value for money as well!" "I wanted to thank you very much indeed for your class last night (market inspired salads) which I really enjoyed. I have been to various cookery classes before in London and I will definitely be recommending your classes to my friends as the most relaxed and informative and fun. I loved your recipes and it was a terrific evening which everyone enjoyed - thank you very much, until next time!" "Your classes have proved inspirational- my partner (remember, the chocolate fanatic?) made Caesar salad from scratch, complete with croutons, and I made some sprouts (al dente) and tossed them with olive oil and mint leaves. It was also the first time I had a dinner party in five years. Thank you for the confidence we gained at your table." "Thank you again for a wonderfully inspiring evening last night. We talked about it all the way home!" "Just a belated note to thank you for our class last week. Everyone really enjoyed it and you are certainly a fountain of knowledge!" "I came to your class on Persian food on 7th November and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have cooked both the lamb dish and the pilaff at home. I am gradually becoming addicted to pomegranates." "Thank you so much for yesterday evening. The course was my birthday present from my daughter and I felt as though she had taken me to a first class restaurant. We both love cooking and enjoyed the evening enormously." "Just to thank you very much for a brilliant evening - we won't have to eat now 'til at least Thursday!!!! Lovely venue, super atmosphere and inspiring ideas! Look forward to coming again soon." "thanks for the course last night, it was fab - soooo wanted poached quince for brekkie this morning! Will be adding bellinis, and the strudel (and the quince!) to my Christmas party menu. If you do any dessert / baking ones I'm definitely going to them!" "Thank you so much for the Singapore Chili Crab session! My husband and I really enjoyed it. We're going to prepare it for our family between x-mas and New Year." "I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this mornings class, I thought it was great fun and very informative, while I love cooking I lack the confidence to be a bit more experimental, but now am inspired to let myself go a bit more and be more exploratory with my efforts." "I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for the class earlier this week. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back to learn about curry!" "This is just a quick note to say thank you for Saturday. We all really enjoyed ourselves. I gave a chocolate truffle to my husband who was very appreciative and said it was the best truffle he’d ever had. Thank you once again for a fun, but educational afternoon." "Learnt loads but as a complete non-cook it wasn't overwhelming at all. Really informative but in an informal way so it felt more like a conversation than being taught."
