Monica at Cooking It

My name is Monica, I am from Barcelona and I love cooking. I have 4 children whom also share my passion for food (well except my eldest!). I run Cooking it! a cookery school in Bristol and I teach, children, teens and adults to cook as well as running corporate cooking events. I love my Thermomix and I am a Thermomix advisor in Bristol, so if you like a demonstration in the comfort of your own home, just get in touch. www.cookingit.co.uk
