Learning about Healthy Eating and new food techniques:
Summerill & Bishop School
Learning about healthy eating and new food techniques with Marcelo at Summerill & Bishop School. The welcoming and warm atmosphere of Summerill & Bishop School is one of most unique experiences which I have enjoyed as well as learned few awesome things. The idea behind the school is not just about food learning, but also an home like feel. If you ever wanted to raise cooking skills and knowledge of healthy and yet tasty food this place is one of the best picks in London. If you are a person which likes to invite friends and family I would recommend such cooking lesson, as the presentation and usefulness of simple tips and recipes will be a great show off for any guest at your house. You can adjust your diet to the ingredients Marcelo will introduce to you as well as pick vegetarian or meat version.
The cooking lesson is also a great place to bond with your work team,friends and to network with people who have similar food interests. I assure you, the day will make you feel, look and learn to be a food pro. I have learned a lot about food preparation and how to limit ingredients to get the best possible taste, recommended 5 different ingredients. Although it was an event with the Bluebella team that I work with it was very useful event to gain better understanding about healthy and very tasteful full of flavor food. Not only the recipes were simple and really scrumptious they also looked beautiful.
