“I host fairly often but always feel slightly anxious beforehand. Mandira reframed the whole thing. The tamarind chutney is extraordinary - I’ve used it at every gathering since.”

“We brought a team of nine for a half-day away from the office. Easily the best team event we’ve done in years. Proper food, beautiful setting at Silent Pool.”

“Not really a cooking class. More like learning how to think about flavour. The cocktail pairings were brilliant.”
