TESTIMONIALS FROM Transition Year Parents:

Hi Vanessa, I was able to pop into Galway to collect my Da off the train. Meanwhile, [Son] had his Chicken Korma all set for when we got in the door. His Grandad was well impressed! [Son] is really enjoying this course and I'm enjoying eating it. The Chicken and Leek Pie was gorgeous! - TY Parent, Shane May 2022

Hi Vanessa Pictures from tonight, [Son] enjoyed the classes, thanks very much! - TY Parent, Carmel May 2022

Hello Vanessa, Thank you so much for the wonderful course. It was great to have my dinner cooked on a Tuesday evening over the past few months!! The recipes were all beautiful and all within [Son's] ability. He learned so much, although he is slow to admit it and I learned a lot of tips as well!    I would certainly recommend this course to anybody and in particular to TY students – it is ideal.    
Thank you for the certificate and all the recipes!  Happy Christmas - Martina

Thank you so much, Vanessa! We’re all delighted! Such an achievement. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, you’re a great teacher. The course was so easy to follow and [Son] managed to produce edible meals. We’ll be seeing you again soon for sure.  Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and good luck with everything for 2022.    Until then,     - Suzanne   
   
Thank you for the certificate and indeed your great enthusiasm each week. I expect it was very difficult with everyone’s cameras off so you were not sure who was there.  We looked forward to dinner every Tuesday. You certainly composed a very tasty recipe each time and [Son] learned a lot of new techniques in cooking.    
Kind regards,  - Aileen   

Thank you from both of us Vanessa.   [Daughter] really enjoyed the course and did it all herself as I was working!!!       
Have a wonderful Christmas.    - Sarah
