Our 15 year old son would like to learn the skill of cooking as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. We are looking for a Cookery or Home Economics Teacher who would enjoy teaching him in our house over a 3 month period. The lesson would take place on a week day, at your convenience, with the exception of Monday, and between 4.30 and 8.30pm.


I would be happy to purchase and supply all the ingredients and equipment each week, with the hope that each lesson would produce one substantial dish/part of a course. It would need to be large enough for a family of five plus a helping for you, the teacher if you would like one. Our son would be expected to clear up after the lesson.


Our son has some availability to start now on a Tuesday, or Wednesday until 9th April. After that he is available from 24th April.


An applicant of any age would be welcome as long as you have experience of teaching cooking. You would need to be enthusiastic, communicative and patient. You would be welcome to teach 1 lesson on a trial basis. We can offer ?10/hour.


Please reply with some information about your cookery teaching experience, two references and some indication of what you hope to get out of it for yourself.


Thank you for considering this.

Hi there,


I saw this quite randomly and had to respond as I might be willing to help.


Being honest I am not a home economics teacher or cookery teacher, but I was a professional chef for nearly 10 years. I started as a commis chef (lowest of the low) and worked my way up to Sous chef (just below head chef). I have worked in hotels, restaurants, Spa hotels, outside catering to running private chalets in the French Alps.


My reason for contacting is simple, I enjoy cooking. For a friends 40th birthday last weekend I catered for 36 people. I love getting people involved in cooking, I trying to involve my little 4 year old when cooking at home, its such a great skill to have.


I have also mentored young adults with difficulties, so I know how hard it is to work with teenagers.


Not sure if this helps, let me know if it does?


Warm regards


Nic

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.

      The Dean's Sermon, Southwark Cathedral - "God, I thank you that I am not like other people"

      No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.

      Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway?

      Is Sarah Pochin toast?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
