Cooking
Our classes are geared for anyone who loves food and has an appetite to learn. Whether an absolute novice in the kitchen or destined for Le Cordon Bleu, we will provide delicious food, fun and useful facts around recipes, ingredients and origins, and the opportunity to earn to use a host of kitchen tools and gadgets.
The only prerequisites are an interest in food, the ability to listen and follow instructions while working in a group setting, and an understanding of the importance of being respectful to fellow classmates and teachers. Each recipe has been carefully tested and re-tested for use in a group setting, and we ensure there are skills and techniques included in each class, with each recipe.
