Hey everyone i need to learn how to cook, does anyone know a place for me to have cooking classes. im not looking for a degree in culinary just basic things every woman should know.

thanks a bunch

get a basic cook book for starters like the "Better Homes and Gardens New CookBook". Yeah!! it is a rather expensive book, but you will be using it for the next 60 or so years.

It has photo how to’s in it for everything in a very easy to understand format. It also has menu suggestions, table setting suggestions, etc that are a great help for informal, semi formal and very formal dining.

Then just take the book into the kitchen, read a section of the cookbook like how to cook eggs! and do it. You can always dump bad mistakes in the trash can!! But this book will help you to learn, keep you learning, and be your best friend in the kitchen for the rest of your life.

My daughter wanted to trade me the one I bought her for mine!!! Mine was 30 yrs old, very cooked in, recipes marked and remarked and very stained. She said, "But Mom! Yours is marked with all the good stuff you make all the time. This new one isn’t!"

I plan on going to Culinary school because I want to be a chef BUT I am only 17 years old and I can not attend Culinary school YET! I really want to know the basics so are there any free or community colleges offering cooking classes for minors? Any cooking classes for people who want a hobby who are not old enough to go to culinary school yet in California? Thanks
I DID NOT GRADUATE HS YET THOUGH. I’m about to be a senior.

Who told you that you could not start culinary school if you were only 17? My son started at 16. He had already graduated early from high school at 16 and wanted to go to learn to be a pastry chef – so he did. And yes, community colleges do have culinary arts – I’m in Los Angeles BTW. And, we have 3 community colleges with culinary arts programs just in a 30 mile radius.

What you want to do is use this website for finding a school – you are better off not going to a high end school (aka non-private culinary arts school – private schools are about $24,000) – that’s very expensive if you have to pay for it yourself (or if your parents have to pay – saves a lot of money).

Follow the steps to get your location, area of study, etc. etc. etc. The site when then show you where you schools are located, cost, pre-requisits (if any), and so on.

I couldn’t afford to send him to private chef school so he went to a community college and it was just as good as private school. You will be very surprised how many public schools offer culinary arts. The only requirement for a minor going to any college or trade school is they have to get the department head’s approval – but as long as you are a serious student and not doing to be a disruption in the class, they are going to let you in….

So, you have no excuses – get out there and start your chef training! Good luck! PS – Those community colleges get some great student discounts for your chef uniforms, knives, pastry kits, etc. Because you have to have all this stuff while you are in school – not just when you graduate.

I am having a hard time finding vegan cooking classes. Any suggestions
in Atlanta?
I do have cookbooks on vegan cooking but I would like to take a class.

I honestly have no idea. I’ve never heard of vegan cooking classes.
Maybe you could buy a vegan cookbook? It’s better than nothing.

Its my turn to plan me & my boyfriend’s suprise date, he’s always wanted to take a cooking class. Is there any one night cooking class in SF or anywhere in the Bay Area?

this belongs somewhere else

I’m looking for any teen cooking classes in new england — particularly in massachusetts or around that area. Any ideas?

I’m not a total beginner, but I am not an expert either. thanks

Yes, they have all sorts of classes at the community colleges and at the youth local centers in that area, the one at the community colleges you have to paid for, subject like: CPR, Cooking, Sewing, Basic computers and swimming, etc. When you arrived there get in contact with the local personnel also these classes last about 2 to 3 weeks in length. Massachusetts has everything you can imagine and Bon-Voyage and good luck.
