Customer Testimonials
Team Building Event
I feel very confident to try this in my own home! I feel that this 3-hour class is going to change my entire kitchen experience! Thank you!
Group Cooking Class
I attended a work team building event and Relish Mama has been my favorite by far in 7 years. Nellie and her team were extremely warm and welcoming to cater our choice of " cooking for a cause". Our team of 12 had an a brilliant night cooking the Moroccan dishes and even better that we were able to give back to the community. Highly recommended any business considering a corporate event. 10 stars if I could.
Team Building Event
A beautiful class and feeling right from arrival. Food cooked with love! Thank you.
Group Cooking Class
Relish Mama is a culinary inspiration of the senses. It is very inspirational in a relaxed and very warm environment.
Group Cooking Class
We organised a team building event for our sales team at Relish Mama and cannot fault the decision. Having come together for the first time in a couple of years we wanted an event that allowed us to relax and spend some great time together. Nellie and the team were amazing, immediately put everyone at ease and were warm and welcoming. The event flowed like clockwork ... To cap it off the venue was awesome. Having done similar events previously, I can say this was a standout and cannot recommend the experience or Nellie and team any more highly.
