Ask RiotACT: Cooking classes for older men

puppyfat67 15 October 2019 15 October 2019 3

Ask RiotACT
Hi Rioters.

Are there any organisations in Canberra that run affordable cooking classes for retirees?

I want to learn how to cook healthily for myself. A single day course wouldn’t be as good as a regular (weekly) course.

Thanks.

I started at TAFE many decades ago, initially basic cooking with more advanced techniques added. Loved it ❤️

Hi there,
Have you had a look at the CIT website as they often run cooking classes for all kinds of skill levels……they also do some wine classes too!!
