What: Learn how to cook even better
Where: Recipease, 48 - 50 St. Johns Road, Clapham Junction, Battersea, SW11 1PR

How much: Varies depending on whether you do a class or make a pizza (2 pizzas for £10)

My boyfriend James and I are listening to Tina Turner and tucking into the delicious pizzas we made for lunch at Jamie Oliver's latest retail venture Recipease in Clapham Junction. This isn't just a shop for over priced marmalade, it's also a place to make good food using great fresh ingredients - and you don't have to clean up afterwards!

There was a big group making fresh ravioli while we were there

for which they had to pay £20 each to learn how to make (they

were all also happily sipping on free wine). We were just nipping in to buy some lunch but were told that you don't have to book to make pizzas from scratch

They kit you out in an apron and for £10 you are handed a bowl of dough and an essentially endless supply of chunks of mozarella, salami, jars of oily anchovies and sundried tomatoes, you name the topping, and they have it, nicely chopped up and in little individual bowls like TV chefs always have.

The staff are inordinately helpful and nice and don't even give you disapproving looks when you try and use every single topping available. The uncooked beautys get put into take away pizza boxes and then you take it home to cook. James is now eating a meaty feast and I am eating a 14 topping taste sensation.
