Do you find yourself cooking the same three dishes on repeat? Want to have more fun in the kitchen and impress your friends and family with your flavour combos?

Join author, professional cook and food stylist Rhiannon Baldock of @inrhispantry for a live cooking demonstration featuring dishes from her delicious debut cookbook, More Than Toast - How To Cook and Have Fun Doing It!

Rhi loves sharing easy and tasty recipes with a focus on everyday home cooks. In this session, you'll get fresh ideas, learn clever shortcuts and discover new ways to change up old favourites. There'll also be a fun tasting session to finish.

Bring your burning questions for professional foodie Rhi, for whom no kitchen mystery is too small, too tricky, or too embarrassing to tackle.
