[KatieBMumsnet]

Waitrose.com are offering 12 Mumsnetters (plus one guest each) a chance to attend a Michelin-star cookery masterclass at Waitrose Cookery School in London. They're looking for cooking enthusiasts who are interested in learning Michelin-star cookery skills from a professional chef and are keen to share their passion for food with like-minded Mumsnetters.

The event will take place on Saturday 12th May from 11am - 4pm at Waitrose Cookery School in North London. The venue is easy to get to using public transport (close to Finchley Road tube station on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines).

Throughout the day Mumsnetters and their guests will be cooking a three course dinner party menu with all ingredients provided by Waitrose.com. Each course will be served in the dining room and you will have a chance to enjoy the menu you have prepared with a glass of wine specially selected to go with each course. The aim of the day is to inspire you to create your own Michelin-star-inspired dinner party menu!

The day will be filmed and the video will appear on Waitrose.com and possibly elsewhere. Please only apply if you're happy to be filmed. After the event you will be asked to leave written feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. Everyone who is selected to attend and adds their feedback on MN will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 voucher for Waitrose.com.

If you would like to attend please sign up here. When signing up, please vote for the starter, main course and dessert you would most like to cook (and eat!) on the day. The three most popular dishes chosen by Mumsnetters who apply to go along will form the menu that attendees will be cooking on the day. Here's a few of the choices on offer to whet your appetite!

~ Roast scallops, potato gnocchi and truffle emulsion
~ Rack of lamb with braised peas, bacon, lettuce and mint. Dauphinoise potatoes
~ Inverted lemon tart, summer fruit salad and lemon yoghurt sorbet

Please let us know about all dietary requirements when you sign up to take part. As you'll see from the menu choices, all of the starters and main course options include meat or fish. If you're a vegetarian, apologies - this probably isn't the event for you, sorry.

Attendance is by invitation only - we'll be in touch with full details if you are selected.

Thanks and good luck

Which is my birthday by the way TheOtherHelen.

Thank you, TheOtherHelen

Fingers firmly crossed!

I have applied, this would be fabulous.

I have applied, would love it! Before the twins (5mo) I was an adventurous and capable cook and often entertained. Now I only have time for slow cooking and freezer food! Would be great to have the time to cook again properly

Done, now fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

I didn't think we had to beg on the thread. I just filled in the application. Right at the very beginning, I would like to point out!

But given the fact that you are letting us know tomorrow who gets to go, the only thing I can say now is... PLEEEEAASE!!!

Do we know yet??!

Hi everyone - just to let you know that there's been a bit of a delay in choosing the attendees. We'll be in touch with those who've been chosen on Monday. Sorry for keeping you all hanging on over the weekend!

You just want us to grovel and beg more, don't you?!

Agh. In that case, this is me grovelling and begging.

Oh no, been checking online like a mad woman today! Oh well something too look forward to on Monday

I've been constantly checking my email today.

Oh poo Still, at least I know now why I haven't had an email.

If you can cook like that Frank then you clearly don't need this course :o

Ah, but I need to hone my Michelin skills....Anyone can make warm, gooey chocolate brownies....

heard nothing, so dont think i am picked.

gutted.

ooh feel better now I have read that we wont know until Monday.

Monday? MNHQ, what a tease you are.

In case you are still dithering, I've already checked the trains, put the babysitter on standby, and chosen my outfit for the day. Just the small matter of that confirmation email outstanding now.....

So? Have the lucky winners been told yet?
