Vicki Taylor is an excellent teacher and an experienced cook having lived, travelled and worked in many international countries. Vicki’s passion is food, herbs and spices and experimenting with recipes to put her own twist on them. After running her popular spice blending classes for many years, Vicki now shares her knowledge and passion of some wonderful international cuisines.

Each class takes a maximum of 10-12 people so why not bring a friend and spend a fun-filled morning together. But don’t worry, if you book a class alone, we’ll just pair you up with someone. Its more fun when you cook with someone. It’s all about team work.
