Details

Ema is from the island of Madeira and has been cooking since she was 12 years old when she began preparing the main meal for her family every evening after school. She has been running her own catering business specialising in corporate and family events since 1996, and is a Kitchen Specialist at Meadows Primary School. While she has a special passion for the food of her country, Ema has embraced the cuisine of the entire Mediterranean region – this workshop will provide participants with insights into this fascinating food culture.

And after a morning of enjoying some fabulous cooking, the group will share the meal with a glass of wine or authentic sangria.
