Our first beginners cookery course was a huge success and the second instalment is now available to book!



Come and spend the morning with us on Saturday April 12th and learn how to make a classic lasagne as well as one of Babylon’s most popular dishes.
Our first batch of students from our first lesson had a wonderful morning and left feeling more inspired and confident in the kitchen, with many having cooked ‘proper meals’ for the very first time!
In this one day course you’ll learn two fundamental aspects of cookery, a meat ragu and a béchamel sauce. You’ll use these to make your own lasagne to take home and enjoy.
