Welcome to a tour of London with a difference. Whether you're a born and bred Londoner or have never been to the city in your life, this is an experience not to be missed. If you can't stand chocolate on the other hand - well, what's wrong with you? Learn some interesting facts about London while the tour takes you from Fortnum and Mason down hidden side streets and alleyways that conventional tours leave out. On top of this you will be given an in depth talk on the history of chocolate. Find out what makes chocolate taste the way it does, how to store it, how to eat it (!) and where to find the best stuff. You will also visit a selection of London's finest chocolate shops including Charbonnel et Walker and Rococo Chocolates and experience tastings in all of them. Whilst there is a fair bit of moving around, don't worry, it's not totally uphill. You'll even get a break for - you guessed it - hot chocolate, along the way. At the end of the day, take home a goody bag to enjoy later.

Sushi is fresh, healthy, tasty and trendy. But hardly anyone tries to make it at home - because surely something which looks and tastes so beautiful must really be difficult to create? Not so. With this experience you'll learn a lot - all about the different types of sushi, fish, rice and vegetable ingredients, as well as tips on how to make it yourself at home. It's run by the experts at YO! Sushi, who enjoy what they do and help make your experience great fun. Your class will start off with a talk on the history of sushi before watching a demonstration by a top YO! chef. Then it's your turn to try it for yourself, preparing three different types of sushi, with the expert advice and help of the chef who remains on hand should you need assistance. You'll learn and then enjoy a special YO! bento box (because you're bound to be hungry with all the sumptuous food around). You'll even take home a sushi rolling mat - essential for your new hobby as a home sushi chef!
After a hard week at work is there anything better than knowing that you have a nice, relaxing weekend to look forward to? And what better way to enjoy yourself than by spending time with good friends and eating wonderful fresh and beautifully produced food. But would the idea of throwing a dinner party send you into a stress related frenzy? Does it conjure up disturbing images of pots and pans randomly thrown all over the kitchen while you stand there screaming? After you have been on this experience those images will plague you no longer. The day is tailor-made according to the overall skill level of the group but the aim is to teach you how to use the freshest seasonal ingredients, how to entertain in style and importantly how to make perfect dinner party food that allows you to relax and enjoy your evening. Enjoy the results of your hard work by sitting down to lunch, including a well deserved glass of red or white wine.
Unlike some top chefs, Anton Mosimann doesn't spend half his life on TV - but his cooking is all the better for it. He's the holder of the Royal Warrant for Catering Services to HRH the Prince of Wales, and he's been awarded an OBE. Your experience begins with a coffee and a tour of the Mosimann Academy, which Anton set up as a centre of learning and excellence in cooking. The tour will take in Anton's amazing private library, which contains over 6,000 cookery books, dating from as far back as the 15th century. Then you'll watch a cookery demonstration by a top chef, where you'll be able to pick up a few new skills, before being whisked by coach to Mosimann's, the renowned private dining club in Belgravia. Relax in the splendid surroundings of one of the private dining rooms - the building was originally used as a church in Victorian times - and enjoy a fantastic three course dinner with wine.
A good cup of tea is as much a part of contemporary British culture as a trip to the local curry house. Everyone loves a cuppa, but how much do you actually know about what you're drinking? Has your tea gone through the 'cut, tear, curl' process or the orthodox process? And just what is the difference between black tea and oolong tea? Who better to explain all than Alex Probyn, a master tea blender who has tasted over a million cups of tea... and counting! (Not bad considering that the average person will drink 50,000 cups in their lifetime.) After talking about the history, origin, manufacture and different styles of tea, you'll taste a combination of up to 24 teas, including white, green, oolong, black, herbal and teas of the world. Alex will teach you the art of slurping and spitting (all in the best possible taste) and then you'll get the chance to put your new-found skills into practice by creating your very own blend each to take home with you.
