Edible Christmas Gifts

Led by Emma Martin

Homemade gifts are always appreciated and the ones you will make in this session don't take too much time but look and taste impressive. It is a lovely gesture to take something for the host when you go out for drinks or to a Festive party. Family members and friends are touched by receiving gifts that you have created especially for them. You may also like to share your skills with children or grandchildren, so that they can feel the pleasure of making a gifts for loved ones.

Emma Martin's twin passions are food and cookery and she says that the kitchen is her 'happy place'. She has professional culinary qualifications and experience so has a lot to offer, which she does in an accessible and supportive way. She also is good fun and will make you feel at ease, but also realise creating fabulous, tasty food is easy, once you know her tips and techniques.

As an added bonus, there's gift for you as well on this evening. Anyone attending will receive a signed copy of Peter Vaughan's Naturally Balanced Cooking recipe  book - a gift for you to keep or give away...
