【推荐1】For twelve children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the art of cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay £280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.
Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom’s cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we’ve made.”
Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.”
Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking! As adults, we’re always learning more about food. If parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home.”
