This is a bit of market research in a way. DW is a trained HE teacher but not done much of that recently - got fed up when the subject went more and more technology and ended up doing home ed support and working in an EDB school. Not enjoying the EDB bit and all the changes in the school - difficult to control some pupils and police recently been called in (not to her lessons).
Anyway - DW wants to find alternative job. Both interested in food and the teaching aspect of it.
I think there is a good market to offer basic HE type lessons where the emphasis would be on coking in real world and answering the types of questions that often pop up here - how do I make X or Y can I freeze it, how long does it last etc etc.
So would you pay for such lessons and if so about how much?
Another thought we had was to offer a sort of ready meal service - a limited daily menu could be set up, food freshly cooked and then pick up at end of the day. Location is near a primary & secondary school. Not worked out any costs but guess it would be similar to most supermarket ready made but would be fresh and better ingredients (would aim to get the costs down but could be hard to do).
Could this be done would it work in todays economic world? Based in quite a big village on outskirts of Swindon - so potentially bigger market there for lessons type stuff.
There is nothing like this in the village and lessons want to aim at more basic stuff.
Appreciate any constructive feedback.
