    Hello fellow foodies :D

    I hope to take up a cookery class this coming September and have been looking around at what's available. Does anyone have any recommendations on cookery courses they've taken themselves in the Cork area?

    I was looking at the "Pane e Vino" course in the Ballincollig Community School (http://www.bcsadulted.ie) and I like the sound of it.

    I've never take a cookery class before, I LOVE cooking and am mainly doing it for the social aspect.

    Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    I haven't done one myself (yet) but I know there are several schools that run cookery classes at night time during the winter.

    Cork college of Commerce usually have a couple (2010 brochure not out yet), as do St. Peters community school in passage west (2010 brochure not out yet) and Ashton School in Blackrock.

    Thanks for that, I tried to do their one off cookery classes but on both occasions it was cancelled because they couldn't get numbers. I was particularly interested in doing their Vietnamese course.

    trotter_inc do you know if the cookery course in ballincollig is just watching someone cook or do you take part? not sure from the site. such a pity about brennans cancelling courses lately, have done some great ones there in the past.

    My interpretation from the description.....

    "Follow a demonstration and cook your own traditional meal from pasta to dessert, with advice on wines to accompany your meal."

    ...is that it could be a demonstration. If it's just a demo then I don't think I'd go for it to be honest, I could just watch cookery programmes on TV :)
