Just testing the water here. Would anyone - men or women who never cook, young or old - appreciate basic lessons in learning to make delicious yet quick and simple meals chez moi, with eating of meal to finish? Especially those who might wish to impress their partners, or who are fed up of shelling out a fortune on ready meals. ?30 for half an hour of practical tuition, including health and safety, and half an hour or more to eat, with a thrown-in glass of wine, and hopefully a bit of fun and laughter. I only ask as I was someone who had no idea of how to cook as I was never interested in my Mum's attempts at lessons. So I had to learn very quickly when I left home, being someone who loved good wholesome food. Any feedback welcome.

Good luck, buddug! what i've been trying to find locally are cookery lessons during half-term for teenage daughter.

there are none locally, and all those up in town are expensive/fancy stuff (Leith school type)

i imagine that's a niche market as well, although it would involve quite a bit of prep and admin to organise!

Lots of the supermarkets do quite good meal deals - dine in for two ?10 I had bottle of sauvignon blanc, "luxury" shepherds pie, parmentier potatoes, choc caramel desert.Some of the curries are delicious and not worth faffing about yourself with pestle etc. I think they do cooking lessons reasonably priced at night school. One lesson was very busy just doing microwave lessons for elderly widowers!

Then there's environmental health, kitchen hygiene, health and safety, public liability ... what if a poor soul is clumsy or poisons themselves??

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
