Beginner cookery lessons

Nabla1

Hi all! I'm looking for a way to make some pocket money over the summer and I was looking to see would my idea take off or be a waste of time.
I have a keen interest in cooking and over te past few years have encountered people who lack basic cookery skills. As I do no have the facilities so carry out huge cookery lessons I was wondering if you would think small cookery demonstrations would be an idea that people would participate it?! I would let the people attending decide on what to cook week to week and also get them involved in the class too. I would provide recipes along with nutritional adive and information. This would be really aimed at those who just don't have a flair for cooking but would love to be able to cook up a decent meal for the family. I'm in the Longford area and I would appreciate any opinions on this matter. Is is a waste of time or could I be onto something here? Thanks!

Great idea in theory but you have to adhere to HACCP regulations.

You can get the training if you don't have it so don't despair

Edit: I think this is something that is badly needed all over the country btw

Thanks for the reply. Feeling a little more confident already! And I actually have HACCP training completed in college too

You say you're only looking for summer work so why not approach local charities etc ASAP and see if they're interested?
I'll be honest here, I think you've left it a bit late for this summer!
There's so much paperwork...
