Salut à tous ! On fêtera le nouvel an avec ce classique de la littérature française, 115 pages. L’histoure d'*Un coeur simple* est tout bonnement le récit d'une vie obscure, celle d'une pauvre fille de campagne, dévote mais pas mystique, dévouée sans exaltation et tendre comme du pain frais. Elle aime successivement un homme, les enfants de sa maîtresse, un neveu, un vieillard qu'elle soigne, puis son perroquet… Bonne lecture !

**The Aprons Only Cooking Class is Back! 🥂** Fancy doing something different on a Saturday night? Feeling a little sassy and cheeky? Want to learn new cooking skills while socialising with other gay guys? Then the **Aprons Only Gay Cooking Class** is just for you! The class is designed for a small number of people (maximum 10) to keep the atmosphere intimate and relaxed, allowing you to learn and socialise without pressure. While we cook and enjoy a drink together, there will be plenty of time to socialise, build both personal and professional connections, share advice, jokes, and personal stories. Cooking side by side is a natural way to break the ice and gently explore masculinity in a **safe, respectful, private, and non-judgemental environment**. This experience is about more than cooking. It’s an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with like-minded people, feel confident in your body, and be proud of something you’ve created with your own hands. 🙂 We’ll start the class with glass of Prosecco and a selection of Italian antipasti before diving into the main event: learning how to cook a traditional Italian dish from Southern Italy — **Sartù**, the iconic Neapolitan rice timbale. Sartù is a rich, indulgent, and deeply comforting dish made with rice layered with hearty meat ragù, peas, tiny meatballs, eggs, and cheese. It’s baked in a mould and dramatically turned out to reveal a decadent, show-stopping rice pie — essentially the ultimate Italian comfort casserole. The ticket includes: * All ingredients for the recipe. * Arrival Aperitivo including a variety of antipasti and drinks. * Additional wine during dinner, but you are more than welcome to bring additional drinks of your choice. * Aprons and utensils required for the class. Come curious. Leave confident and very well fed. P.S. * The event is also advertised on other platforms, the number of attendees on Meetup doesn't reflect the real number. * The final details of the event will be sent only to the attendees prior to the event date; * This is a Themed event, we will be cooking only with an Apron provided on arrival. * This event is designed for GAY MEN ONLY. * The actual event last for 3 hours however usually we stay a bit longer to socialise (please bring your own drinks if you wish to do so) * There is a minimum of 4 participants per class and I reserve the right to cancel the class due to insufficient attendees or due to unforeseen circumstances. I will arrange a full refund in this case. Looking forward to seeing you there and having lots of fun together. Happy Vibes Luca
