Important Information

• Wheelchair users have enjoyed the class before, but the building in which the class will take place does not have an elevator. Allergy sufferers should be aware that, although they’re kept out of the cooking area and I have allergy pills available for guests who need them, there are two cats in the house. Please keep an eye on your email inbox after booking the experience, as we'll be in touch to ask if you have any dietary requirements. Most of these can be accommodated for, although unfortunately strict Kosher is not possible at this time. Guests should be aware that others joining the class may pay less for the same experience by booking via the Martaja website.
