Note and Charges
Rather than having fixed menus, Rosaline believes in catering to the needs of the group. She invites you to choose two to three dishes, find your own group of friends, neighbours, relatives, colleagues and start your own class. You will have fun celebrating a birthday, a reunion, a ‘letting your hair down’ session, a bonding session through learning how to cook your favourite dishes and sitting down for a meal you have helped to cook, with your own bottle of wine.
Depending on the dishes chosen, each lesson per head will cost between $120 - $150 and the class size can be from 4 to over 20
