This group was formed in November 2021 Covering Food, Cookery & Fine Dining. We hope to include activities such as:- Sharing Recipes; Attending Cookery Courses; Eating out together; Fine Dining experiences; Group Cooking in Members’ Homes; Visits to Food Shows & Producers.
January 2025 - As the Food and Cookery was so popular it was divided into two groups, imaginatively named as Group 1 and Group 2!
January 2026 - to avoid confusion we have been renamed the "Aprons and Appetites" group!
