A day cooking with Sophia is an experience and an indulgence – don’t miss it! Been there, done that, more than once and will do it again.

We went to Lebanon and back, without our passports!

My friend Liz and I had the most incredible weekend in Montagu, learning to cook with the lovely Sophia. Sophia and Paddy are such gracious hosts and do everything they can to make the weekend magical and special. Liz and I felt recharged and replenished and we would highly recommend a weekend in Montagu cooking with Sophia. We can’t wait to do this again!

On a recent cooking weekend with Sophia, she took a small group of food fanatics to heaven and back, with the most amazing food, drinks and a “goodie bag” to die for! Preparing our own dishes was lots of fun as we had the chance to really get to know the essence of Lebanese food. Later that evening we sat down at a beautifully decorated feast table with the food we all prepared. Being an introvert the small group of people that Sophia takes per workshop suited me really well and I can’t wait to do the next food weekend with Sophia.

I will be using these ingredients with enthusiasm!!! I also can’t wait to try on my apron - I am a cooking nerd!

A wonderful weekend indeed. I doubt what happened in Montagu will stay in Montagu…!! - A wonderful group of people altogether and thanks for orchestrating it all. We have been actively making many of the dishes you taught us with great success and enjoyment.
