Alien   10 #2 Posted January 24, 2011 Reminds me of the first time I cooked a meal, for my Mothers Birthday. Mushy peas on toast saturated with vinegar and topped with chocy buttons. 6yrs old and it's as clear today as it was then. I even served it her in bed. I can't remember the bit where she ate it though..  Why not start a local group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Blonde   10 #3 Posted January 24, 2011 CNF- community north forum, send a booklet out with courses of this sort in. Free if on benefits or a small charge although some courses are free to everyone. Not had a booklet through for a while though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
foxy lady   10 #4 Posted January 24, 2011 The Milestone at Neepsend would allow folks to spend a day helping in the kitchens and serving meals as part of a cookery skills class. The food that you got to take home was certainly good .  I don't know if they still offer this. I'm going back about 18 months.

foxy lady   10 #6 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks all! Thought I better start being pro-active about this whole cooking business, as im 19 and still don't know how to cook!!  Its a good idea. When I moved in with him 2 years ago I couldn't boil an egg and hubby was getting rather upset about living on takeaways and bar meals. Leaning how to cook is pretty essential to a relationship.  I found this link. They do run courses each month..  http://www.eatsheffield.com/What's_On/2010/10/16/The_Milestone_Cookery_Classes_Dinner_Party_Secrets/  It is just one. They do others about preparing and cooking meat, fish etc etc..  http://www.eatsheffield.com/What's_On/2010/08/21/The_Milestone_Cookery_School_Meat/  . .

Total Chaos   10 #12 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) There are Online Cookery Classes on youtube, you can learn to cook anything on there! For anything specific just search, otherwise the link I provided takes you to just classes.  Even though its 2 yrs old as a fully qualified ex chef i was going to say the same,their are plenty of stuff on you tube to follow.I even only recently found out how chinese take aways/restaurants keep their meat so tender and juicy and that was because i asked at a chinese supermarket and then googled it.
