Forget conjurors and sausages on sticks. How about a vegan cooking workshop? Birgit offers these for all ages and abilities.

The Tilling family went for a truly original party to celebrate their son’s 11th birthday: he wanted to produce his own party food on the spot with his friends – not just any old party food but Greek vegan party food – and he wanted to get it right. So I was booked for the event, and we spent three hours cooking a wide selection of dishes. All seven children enjoyed their different tasks and because they had prepared it themselves, they ate a lot of new foods that they might otherwise have turned up their noses at…

• vegan greek salad
• warm flat breads – they all got stuck into making the dough!
• a vegan moussaka
• very big fruit salad
• hummous
• guacomole

The boy’s Dad, Rob, said

Working with Birgit on designing the menu plan was both straightforward and efficient. She not only prepared food, but she planned and ran a fun party, guided children and covered for their failings as well as staying to eat and getting into the real swing of the party.

and the lad himself said

I enjoyed cooking. Birgit was a good head cook. The food was delicious and of a high standard. It had a good variety of flavours.
