“We’re delighted to launch our new programme and welcome on-board new team members who bring with them exceptional skills and experience as well as a new energy and dynamic to help develop and showcase the very best of what our Northcote Cookery School has to offer. There are some fantastic recipes to be tried and skills to be shared.
