Finding the Right Cooking Classes and Taking Notes
If you are going to cooking school or just attending a few community classes, the goal is the same – to learn how to cook from the pros.
But, not all the classes are the same. Each instructor has a different style. Some offer a more hands-on approach. Others just demonstrate the process while you take notes. Both classes have their value.
If you are attending culinary school, you probably will get exposed to different kinds of classes. If you take classes locally you will have more control over the type of class you take. Just call the instructor ahead of time to make sure the class structure is right for you. If it isn’t just look for something else.
Taking Notes at Your Cooking Class
Note taking is one of those skills that people don’t think they need at a cooking class. However, even if the class does have a handout, you will want to have a pen handy to jot any notes of your own.
Why would you want to do this? If you don’t, you may have trouble remembering what you learned in the class. Cooking classes are a good way to teach you how to cook. However, the most valuable part about the class is often not the recipes you learn, but the tips you gather in the process.
Bring a notebook and pen with you so you can take notes at your own place. But remember not to spend your whole time taking notes. The point of the class is to relax, have fun, and cook! You need to find that perfect balance.
