Sue will also be sharing details of some of her upcoming cookery classes and explaining how through her newly-launched Facebook goup, Terrible Cook to Terrific Cook with Sue’s Kitchen, she’s now on a mission to help members turn kitchen disasters into triumphs, learning not only from her but from fellow members too.
