I booked a one day cooking course for my husbands 50th birthday last year. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for making the event of him becoming a "grown up" one of the best days he can remember for a long time. I have never seen him so happy. He truly loved the day and now wants to do more! I also have enjoyed the day myself, re cooked at home and what a feast!! Every man should do it!! Thank you once again.
