It’s time to start at the beginning.
When you think of preparing a starter, what comes to mind? Bread! Fresh, warm, with salty butter? Mmm. Or when making butter chicken? Perfect on its own, with a hearty soup or dried and made into croutons, or paired with curries or stews, bread is the staple accompaniment to any course.
So why not learn to make your own at Stir Crazy Cooking School? You’ll wow your guests with your skills! But first, it would help if you could cook at all, right?
