Delight Your Mom With Cooking Classes This Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is approaching and you’re brainstorming gift ideas.

You want to give her something that shows how much you appreciate her. Something that shows how special she is.

And every time you’ve asked her, she always responds with, “I already have everything”. This is true. Because you’ve given her every THING.

• Heart-shaped pendant
• The Worlds Best mom mug
• Dishwashing Gloves

She’s kept every token of appreciation you’ve given her.

So this year, how about giving her an EXPERIENCE ? Something she can do.

“Well she’s always said her dream is to eat tapas in Spain…but I can’t afford that right now”…

Ok, that’s understandable.

There is a way you can transport mom to her dream destination. And that’s through cooking classes. Cooking classes are the perfect gift for your mom. It’s an ideal way to see the world without having to pack or stand in long airport lines.

There are other reasons why mom will love cooking classes. Here are five reasons mom will be jumping up and down when she opens her gift this year.

She Wants to Look Like a Food Network Star

You’ve overheard mom talking to Aunt Annie while she’s preparing dinner. And when you walk into the kitchen you realize she’s talking to a pretend audience. And she’s practicing her different smiles as she slices vegetables. So you’re mom secretly wishes she had her own cooking show. Sure, she’s already a good cook. Taking cooking classes will sharpen her cooking skills.

Most cooking classes cover basic techniques and basic methods. Learning basic techniques is key when it comes to cooking. So even though mom might know the difference between dicing and slicing, she’ll appreciate having a professional show her the correct way of these basic techniques.

• These are 12 cooking basics everyone should know:
• Scramble an egg
• Make an omelet
• Make pancakes
• Make a salad
• Make a hamburger
• Grill a steak
• Roast a chicken
• Roast a roast
• Make a pan sauce
• Chop an onion
• Roast vegetables
• Bake cookies

In addition, knowing these other techniques will help mom tackle fancier recipes:

• Fileting a fish
• Dicing vegetables or cutting them into thin strips
• Making a simple soup and salad dressing

The nice thing about taking a cooking class is that she’ll have hands-on experience with a live professional. They’ll share many tips and tricks that she won’t have access to from a cookbook or from watching a short tutorial on youtube. Cooking classes are especially great for visual learners. Mom can look over her shoulder and copy the person next to her. Also, she can ask questions and get an immediate answer.

She’ll Get To Know Her Kitchen Utensils

Does mom have way too many utensils? Does she need all of them? Well, after taking cooking classes she’ll know which ones she really needs. She’ll finally know the proper names of the things that are in her kitchen drawers.

She’ll be able to try utensils or equipment without buying them. Taking a cooking class gives you access to the equipment you may not have in your kitchen without having to buy it. You can test it out and decide if it’s worth purchasing.

Test Out New Recipes

Do you hear mom saying, “I don’t know what to cook again”? If she’s looking to add something new to the monthly menu or rotation, a cooking class will introduce her to a new dish. Are Taco Tuesdays and Spaghetti Saturdays starting to overstay their welcome? A cooking class is an ultimate way to try a new recipe or dish. Or she may learn how to prepare a familiar ingredient like squash in a new way.

This is also a great way to try and cook a specific type of cuisine from another culture or country…like those tapas. Your mom will be so delighted to travel to her dream destination through food. She’ll also expand her tastebuds while learning about other cultures.

You were always her number one priority. She devoted her life to nurturing you and your dreams. She’s always wanted to join different organizations to meet new people. So now it’s time for mom to have time for herself and foster new relationships. Cooking classes are an ideal way to meet new people. Food connects people. Your mom will be able to create new friendships and memories through cooking classes.

The Gift of Health

Staying healthy is important to mom. Cooking at home aids in maintaining a healthy body. People who often cook dinner at home eat healthier and eat fewer calories than people who cook less. Taking cooking classes will educate your mom about quality ingredients. She’ll also learn the latest nutritious food trends.
