Cancellation & Refunds

Due to the small size of these classes and the preparation required, the following cancellation terms apply:

  • If you cancel more than 14 days before your booked workshop date, you may request a full refund or transfer to another available date (subject to availability).

  • If you cancel 14 days or fewer before your booked workshop date, or do not attend on the day, your fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
    This is because ingredients and preparation are committed in advance, and places are limited.

If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to send someone in your place — please contact me to arrange this in advance.

In the unlikely event that I need to cancel the workshop, a full refund will be offered, or you may transfer to another date.
