    I just wanted to say thank you for The Individual Gourmet cooking course.  I have really enjoyed it and it has helped me so much!  I didn't really know how to use herbs etc to change my fairly bland cooking into something much more tasty!  The recipes have been so easy to do as well and I feel now I can follow and adapt a recipe with much more success. I wanted to improve my cooking skills so that my grandchildren could enjoy good home cooking and now I feel that I am achieving this and enjoying cooking. I am sure I will be on another of your cooking courses soon and many thanks once again. Aileen - The Individual Gourmet Been a busy few weeks where I’ve hardly been home to try this out, but it’s Bank Holiday so I’ve had time to shop & cook! Have to say, this is inspiring! I’ve just made the Piedmontese Chicken & it was delicious & so easy! I’d got into bad habits of scrambled or poached egg or avocado toast for my evening meal, but it was getting boring. Thank you for waking me up to another option. Xx Diane – The Individual Gourmet Loving the Individual Gourmet – makes me a great cook instantly. Very very easy to follow – try it – you won’t be sorry Janet - The Individual Gourmet
