A group for those wishing to cook socially, meeting from 6.00 - 8.00pm one evening each month. There are no set day/dates for meetings.
Members take it in turns to host and cook a 2 course meal in their own kitchens. The other members provide wine/beer/soft drinks to accompany the meal that we then eat together.
The group is particularly aimed at those with no great previous experience or ability. We pick up new skills, tips and recipes with each meeting.
Expect something more like "Come Dine With Me" than "Masterchef" - without the scores!
We were meeting on Zoom throughout the pandemic, with us all cooking separately but simultaneously, under the direction of each month’s host. This arrangement proved to be so successful that we plan to alternate ‘live’ and Zoom monthly meetings, going forward from now.
Unfortunately the need to meet in members’ kitchens limits the maximum number of members to 6. Anyone wishing to join the group above this number will be put on a waiting list or (if numbers permit) a second group will be formed.

The Group Leader really getting into the spirit of his world cooking!
Our Membership Secretary adding the finishing touches to his trifle. Wonder how much sherry it contains?

Just some of the dishes the group have produced. Well done lads!
It's nearly Christmas 2020 and the guys (and dolls!) are already getting into the festive spirit!
Here are the guys getting together on Zoom during 'lockdown' cooking Lamb Koftas and flatbreads. Looks good enough to eat! (11th June 2020)
Pre-lockdown get together to sample the men's cooking.
