Cooking classes for myself

Yes, I know its cheaper to eat out but I would like to learn how to cook asian food properly.
I am going to Canning Fort for the chilli crab classes but does anyone know of a school that teaches expats how to cook local.

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.

these days, you can get a lot of cooking tips, video and recipe on the internet. ok, so not as good as physical like in a cooking class, but it is near enough.

btw, if you want to cheat, check out www.primataste.com.sg and get their cooking "kit". it is in a box. the laksa and chicken rice is so real.

Durain, I DONT WANT TO CHEAT. I have seen these boxes at Cold Storage . One day when I leave Sg I would like to take away something that I have learnt and not just sat around gripping about helpers, weather etc.

So please does anyone know of cooking classes Not in a box where I can learn to cook asian.

HI, I all update this thread if I find out more on my search for a cooking class.
If anyone else is serious about joining us please let us know that way when we speak to a school we can tell them numbers and maybe get a discount for group booking

i received a gift certificate to this place - if you click on the singapore cuisine there is a hands on demo for chili prawns (among others). it's at fort canning:

A group of us went to The Pantry for coffee yesterday and they also do cooking classes....

their website has info:

I know it says cooking classes for 'helpers', but they do other classes too. Nice place to go for a coffee, but we ended up leaving as some 'noisy kids' arrived with their parents...!!!

But worth checking out, walking distance to Tanglin Mall.

But I was looking for a proper cooking class, something like Prue Leiths in London. Where I came away with a skill.

My wife did Cookery Magic and liked the classes, but if they aren't full they end up getting canceled - so it was tough for her to line up some of them.

We looked for a decent mid-range cooking school (not a professional diploma, but not ad-hoc courses either), but didn't find anything

Xernstx, did you wif find anything? maybe if we have a few that really want to do the classes then they can't cancel.
pm me and let me know.

Personally , I feel that www.culinary.com.sg is a good place to learn how to cook. Very relaxed environment and I think its reasonably priced as well.

You may go to their website and also,subscribe to their mailing list.

I was looking for cooking classes that are kind of casual and fun(with no kids sorry...ours is grown). Do you think The Pantry or The Coriander would fit the bill?? We just moved here from Canada, thought it would be a great way to meet people while doing something I like. Thanks!!
