Solving the Problem
In last week’s post I talked about
the increasing issue with more and more young adults not knowing how to cook
and instead, taking the more convenient option and eating out or getting a meal
plan. I have been a fan of cooking all my life when I was young and home
alone, I would watch cooking shows on tv or videos on YouTube. From there I
started with scrambled eggs moving on to spaghetti so on and so forth. I
eventually started cooking my own meals and that really became important as
soon as I entered college. Now in college having experienced the meal plan and
the other ways of getting food on campus I know for sure home cooking is the
best option for food. It is just an objective fact that the quality of food on
college campuses are shoddy at points and eating out every day creates a hole
in your wallet. So, what can people do? Join a cooking club! Except that most
cooking clubs here at campus cook the food for you and focus on showing you
that food taste and looks good. I will show people how THEY can make food look
and taste great. The product or opportunity that I have created is a cooking
class/ club that will not only teach young adults how to cook but also give
back to the community. The club will run once a week (usually a Saturday) and
the class/ club fees will be 10 dollars a month. That gives you access to the
class in which a three course meal will be taught each week (which you can eat
and take home) , all supplies and cooking utensils will be provided, and also
access to our patreon page where you will have access to multiple recipes and
video recipes that I do not teach in class. Also, I brought up giving back to
the community what that means is once a month the meals that the students cook
will be given to the homeless and less fortunate so they will have a hot plate
of food to eat for that day. I believe that my opportunity is the perfect way
for students and young adults to learn how to mature and be self – sustainment,
along with giving back to the community.
I love your idea. Here in Tampa, Metropolitan Ministries established a program for young adults that needed some rehabilitation in their lives to go through a cooking school program and learn to be commercial cooks. They gained their training and experience all while working for Metropolitan and serving in their homeless kitchens. These young adults learned to cook, to budget, conducts inventory, and serve their communities. This is one of my favorite organizations and I love how your idea would contribute to many of the same facets.
