The Cooking School project is moving along nicely and I have already made and videoed a few recipes, so I am feeling pleased with myself. But I have changed its name. It is now called:
IBS-Friendly Cooking School
The cart will be open in just a few days – Friday 28th July to be precise, with a starting date of Monday 7th August.
Anyway, as I mentioned in my last post, I had close to 200 entries in the survey I sent you and there was a common thread of questions you asked me, so I have made a video to answer them all.
This is going to change your taste-buds forever! Let’s impress your family and friends. 🙂
But questions first…
