Workshops & demos around Beuningen
Introductory demo, free
Curious about the Thermomix TM7? Liesbeth comes to demonstrate at your home for free (for anyone living in the Benelux). Beforehand she tailors the menu to your taste (fish, meat, vegetarian, allergies) and sends a shopping list via WhatsApp. Then you cook a complete three-course dinner together in 2 to 3 hours and afterwards she leaves you to enjoy it at your own pace.
Cooking workshops, for beginners & advanced
Just got a Thermomix, or want to get more out of it? The workshops take place at Liesbeth’s home in Beuningen and from May to September also in Saint-Laurent-la-Vallée. Everything is included: fresh ingredients, drinks and a tailor-made menu. For beginners the focus is on the basics; advanced cooks dive into themes like French cuisine, bread & dough or a festive menu.
Private & groups, fully tailor-made
A night with friends, a birthday, a hen party or a team outing with a culinary twist? Liesbeth turns it into a tailor-made workshop: a few hours, an afternoon, an evening or even a full day. You cook, taste and finally sit down at the table together and everything is taken care of.
