About this ticket
This ticket books one adult place on the pre-noon sitting of the class, held in a Finnish home on Lauttasaari island. You'll work in small groups under the host's step-by-step guidance and take responsibility for one of the dishes yourself, then sit down to eat the meal with the other participants. No prior cooking experience is required, although basic kitchen skills will help you get the most from the three hours.
Practical info
The class runs for about three hours in a private home on Lauttasaari island and is booked for a specific date, with the pre-noon start applying rather than a timeslot you choose. Your voucher is valid only on the date booked, so arrive a few minutes early to settle in and start on time.
How to redeem
Your PDF voucher is issued after booking; bring it with you (on your phone or printed) and present it to the host on arrival at the Lauttasaari home on your booked date.
Important notes
- Non-refundable once booked, so the date cannot be changed
- The class is run in English
- Tell the host about any dietary restrictions in advance
- Each participant is expected to take charge of one dish
- Dress comfortably – kitchen work can get messy
