Who are these cooking classes suitable for?
Who aren’t they for? Really, it doesn’t matter how skilled you are in the kitchen — all that’s required is the desire to have fun and the willingness to get stuck in.
Perfect for spending quality time over great food with friends, family and colleagues, there are culinary classes for cooks of all experience levels. Cooking courses range from those that teach basic kitchen skills to others that see participants try their hand at more complex global cuisines. Whichever theme you choose, your host will provide the perfect environment in which to enjoy the occasion, encouraging hands-on learning, sharing their most closely-guarded culinary secrets and generally ensuring that everybody involved has a blast.
What should I expect during a typical class?
The first thing to note is that everything is included, including all equipment and ingredients. As for what you’ll learn, that depends on the class. You may spend your time preparing a full-course meal or, if you’ve decided to dabble in more complex recipes, your time could be spent focusing on one or two show-stopping recipes. Aside from the learning, your chef will ensure you have time to sit and enjoy your meal at the end of the session, giving you and your classmates time to enjoy a meal of your own creation as you reflect on your new-found knowledge and your favorite parts of the class.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
Again, it depends entirely on which cooking lessons you decide to book. As an example, if you enroll in a sushi-rolling course, you can expect to get hands-on with the specialized ingredients and equipment required to make it. Equally, if you want to make your own pasta, you’ll spend your session learning to roll the dough, fill it and make the perfect sauce to pair with it. Whichever class you choose, your chef will guide you through basics like knife skills, ingredient preparation and even seasoning, all of which you can take home and employ to elevate your home-cooking game.
