Make Money Teaching Cooking Classes

How to Make Money Teaching Cooking Classes
Teaching cooking classes is a fast, easy way to start making money. If you can cook. Cooking classes are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people head back to the kitchen in an effort to save money. They're giving up the restaurant meals. Dining in has become the food trend.

What many are discovering is they really don't know how to cook what they like to eat, so they're stuck with what they know. In a lot of kitchens that means opening a box or a can and settling for processed foods.

For those who would like to make money cooking, but don't want the responsibility or risk of a catering business or restaurant, this may be the perfect opportunity. Being a trained chef is not a requirement. Rachel Ray never went to culinary school, and look at her career. She started doing cooking demonstrations in grocery stores.

People want to know how to cook at home. They want great meals that can be prepared without a great deal effort or expense. Even better if they can learn in their own kitchen. That is where the opportunity lies.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
1
Select a format for the cooking classes you will teach. Hands on, in my opinion, is the most successful. Cooking shows are on television 24/7. People don't want to watch you, they want their hands in it, to learn by doing.

2
Decide whether you will offer private or group classes. Group classes will be more affordable, and therefore more attractive, as well as being more fun. I offer group classes in my clients' homes where everyone cooks, and then sits down to a complete meal they have prepared. They're dinner parties that never lull in activity or conversation.

3
People want to eat, and not just a sample. And because they are there to learn how to prepare meals at home, a complete meal menu per class is a great idea. Select meals that can be prepared quickly, affordably, without advanced techniques, and with easy to find ingredients. For my classes, I choose dishes that are visually appealing, and ones most people would shy away from because they think it would be too difficult.

4
Offer a variety of menus for your clients to choose from. You will find that people have such a great time attending your classes, they will want to host one or more in their own home. I offer 3 brunch menus, 3 lunch menus, and 8 dinner menus. And the offerings change with the seasons, so there is always something new for my customers to try out.

5
Getting started is easy. I printed menu cards with recipes for each class I was offering, as well as a brochure listing all of the menu options. A friend held my kick-off, a homemade pizza party (which, by the way, is my most popular class). From that first class, I scheduled two more, and my business took off.

on 1/29/2010 Do you need any special permits to do this in someone else's home, besides a business license? Do you know if you are able to do it from your own home...is it legal. I guess it's different for different states, but curious what you had to do.

  9. I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting {skylinktechnes@yahoo.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
