What to expect

With our Kitchen skills for life classes, we want to make sure everyone gets the best start they can when beginning to cook solo. Our chefs know that a little confidence in the kitchen goes a long way, whether that's making a quick meal, preparing for the week ahead or inviting mates over for a feast. It's all easy when you know how!

Broken down into three days, you can choose your level or work through all three to be the ultimate chef!

PREPARE AND BATCH: Organisation is the sign of a great chef. Learn how to get ahead with great batch cook recipes that will see you through the week, plus ingredients and skills that will make everyday easier (and more delicious!).

There's also...

QUICK AND EASY: Sometimes you just need to be able to get dinner on the table, fast! With some essential knife skills and confidence in core recipes, you'll always be ready to make a meal, completely stress-free. This is a great place to start if you're new to the kitchen and will set you up to start cooking on your own. 

SHARE AND IMPRESS: Eating with friends is so much fun, we want the cooking to be just as fun! Being able to create your own feasts that not only taste amazing but look good too, will mean you're always ready to throw a party and invite people over. This is taking your cooking up a notch - are you ready chef?
