Vegan Fish & Chips Cooking Class On Boat

I will meet guests at Canary Wharf and we will take the scenic route to my home. I live in a vibrant East London location full of amazing architecture and pretty water views and I will tell you what it's like to live in this part of the city. We will arrive at my little Dutch barge home which is full of historic charm and I will show you around and we can get to know each other! I am very chatty and love meeting new people so we will never run out of conversation! I will explain the ingredients we will use for my version of the traditional British dish of fish and chips, vegan style, and then we will start the cooking class. Vegan food is very popular in London and a good choice for those of us who want healthy, ecological and sustainable food without any animal products. My boat is cute and cosy and for this reason, the maximum number of guests will be 3. In warm weather we can sit upstairs on deck with views of the water and my lovely patio garden. I have plants everywhere! Our marina is private and guests are only allowed with residents permission so you will be secure and away from busy crowds. If you plan to drive here, we have guest parking spaces. After cooking you will sit down to eat the delicious food we have cooked!

A Sri Lankan cooking experience with fresh pan-brewed Tea

Good food is good life. For me gratitude is the happiness you get from eating quality food. I will teach you how to make a Sri Lankan vegetarian starter called 'cutlet', whereby the spice level will be dependent on your preference. This is so delicious, especially with an authentic Sri Lankan cup of tea. Yes!! - I will teach you the right way to make a memorable Sri Lankan tea, just like my ancestors made it back home. I wake up in the morning smelling the luxurious aroma of freshly-brewed cardamom-flavoured Sri Lankan tea. Tea is grown in over 40 countries worldwide and it is the 2nd most drunk beverage after water. In fact there is a Chinese saying - 'better to go without food for 3 days than 1 day of tea'. The infusion of the ingredients in the right quantities placed in boiling milk mixed with the right ratio of water is what makes a good tea, taste simply extraordinary. Imparting this key knowledge is so special for me as it gives me the opportunity to share something that may become extinct if we don't pass it onto the next generation. I aspire one day to open my own tea shop, where I am hopefully able to serve the 'truly flavoursome' tea that I have relayed to you. After all, tea has several health benefits - it creates an atmosphere where people feel safe, calm and nurtured. Thereafter I will guide you how to make a lentil curry with 4 different types of lentils.
