In celebration of Easter, The Cooking Kitchen in Parkwood transformed into a lively space filled with laughter, learning, and the comforting aromas of home cooking during an exclusive Spar Easter cook-off.

Guests were invited to take part in preparing a three course Easter menu, moving from delicate starters to hearty mains and indulgent desserts.

From spinach and feta puffs to pickled fish and rich chocolate treats, the menu reflected both tradition and creativity.

Guided by celebrity chef Mmule Setati, participants embraced the experience with enthusiasm. Some arrived with confidence, others with curiosity, but all were eager to learn.

The highlight came when everyone sat down to enjoy the meals they had prepared together. Conversations flowed easily, and the pride in each dish was evident, making the experience as much about connection as it was about food.
