If you are looking for things to do in London this weekend, look no further. Come and cook with edible insects and check out how our family is trying to achieve protein self-sufficiency.

We regularly open the doors to our home kitchen in London W5 to small groups, at the week-end, March to October. Whether you're looking for a fun day out or for an insight into the world of edible insects, you can be sure that, by booking a visit at London's first edible insect experience, you'll be left feeling satisfied and intrigued to find out more. During your visit you will cook and also learn what it means to rear these lovely little critters - and how doing it could help protect the environment.

The cost for a 3 hours visit, starting at 10:30am is £39.00pp.

This includes cookery class, lunch, and soft drinks.
