How much would you pay for a cooking lesson at home?

[couldtryharder]

Thinking of starting up a cooking lesson business where I teach simple, tasty, family food at a customer's own home. How much would you pay for a 1.5hr lesson? Was thinking £30 for one person and an additional £10 per extra person (up to a max of 4) that attends. This would include ingredients. Do you think there is a market for this? Many thanks.

where do you live - think this would make big difference. have you looked at evening classes and what the cost/ uptake is? i'm thinking most people would be able to teach themselves with a library book.....so your market may be people with too much time and money? they are also likely to have young children, so have you thought about what happens to them - eg could they be included?

Live in a 'nice' village north of Manchester. A lot of mums around. I'm thinking that the kids will be at home too if it's in the day so no childcare issues. I have a Level 1 Food Hygiene and was going to get PLI - Local Authority are happy for me to do it.

I think the 'I can cook' method would be fantastic - ie normal meals that kids can cook along with adults.

Maybe have different themes:

• cooking with kids
• cooking on a budget
• cooking for friends
• cooking for the freezer

etc? Best of luck! Sounds interesting

I would think that the people with too much time and money would be perfectly capable of teaching themselves to cook from a book or the Internet or the plethora of cookery programmes on TV.

Who are you aiming this venture at as I think those most in need would be those least likely to be able to spend £30 on a home economics lesson.
