Most people who don’t know how to cook, or only have very basic cooking skills, are only in that situation because no one has shown them how, and if you’re someone like that, I’ve got some good news for you.
Did you know that learning how to cook is a lot easier than you’d think? Even if you feel like a klutz in the kitchen, you can learn how to make a variety of tasty, healthy meals in just one afternoon or evening class at Pips Cooking School. The key is simply having someone show you how. It’s just like learning to drive, you didn’t learn by reading a book or watching a DVD, you learnt because someone showed you, and cooking is exactly the same. The truth is, anyone can learn to cook, even you, as long as someone takes the time to show you how.
No one runs better beginners cooking classes than Pip Kerslake. Pip has been teaching people how to cook for years, and her cooking classes are fun and educational. The teaching style is relaxed; everyone smiles and has a good time, so learning is fun, and that’s important, because when you learn in a happy and relaxed atmosphere, you retain what you’ve learnt, so the learning stays with you.
In our beginners cooking class you’ll learn the basics of cooking, like how to cook a great steak, how to whip up a fresh healthy stir fry, how to make pasta, how to make a BBQ twice as tasty and infinitely more interesting…we’ll even show you how to make vege’s taste great, wonders never cease!
Once you learn how to cook a new world will open up to you, one with greater pleasure, power, health and vitality – you won’t look back – your life will never be the same. Here’s just a few of the benefits that come from learning how to cook-:
1. You will save a lot of money.
Have you ever figured out just how much it costs to buy food every meal of every day – it usually costs people between $25-35 a day to do this, that’s $175-$245 a week, in round figures that’s anywhere between $750 – $1100 a month! When you know how to cook (and shop) you can eat like a king for just $10-15 a day!
2. You will look and feel better.
Eating home cooked fresh foods will help you get healthy and lose weight, because fresh home cooked food is not only more nutritional, it has less fats, no added sugar or preservatives (unlike fast food), so it’s better for you.
3. You Will Impress People With Your Cooking
It’s universal, people love people who can cook, everyone loves good food and everyone is impressed by being served a nice meal.
Safety Note!
Closed in flat shoes must be worn to the cooking class. This is an Occupational Health & Safety requirement.
