A relaxed cooking lesson at home, where you can ask all the cookery questions you want! We achieved so much more than in a big class I’ve been to, when one is frustrated with the less able students…My husband and children all got to participate and loved the whole experience. Chef Manju’s mother was a mine of knowledge too!

I used Chef’s Compliments (Chef Manju) for a ‘Bollywood’ style birthday party. They were excellent, lots of communication before the event to ensure that everything was in place, the food was to die for, and the service great, especially cleaning the kitchen, and doing washing up afterwards. I would recommend them highly, and I would definitely use them again.
