Learn three classic London recipes, then sit down to a seven-course dinner in an authentic Edwardian house—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Seven Courses, One Edwardian Table: A Night Learning London’s Dishes in a Local Home.
Tucked into a real Londoner’s Edwardian home, The London Menu Cooking Class with 7 Course Dinner is less a tutorial and more an invitation: you roll up your sleeves to learn three dishes that were invented in London, then linger over a seven-course meal as the stories behind each plate unfold. The setting is intimate and familial, designed to turn a single evening into a lasting connection with the city’s food culture.
