Being stuck at home for the best part of 2 years has been extremely frustrating. However, the one positive gained from the pandemic is that many have begun cooking their meals. Not only are homecooked meals healthier, but preparing them can be extremely rewarding. It isn’t a surprise then why many have picked up cooking as a hobby during the heights of the pandemic.
Thankfully, the situation has improved massively over the past few months, and we are slowly getting our lives back to how they were pre-Covid. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up cooking. In fact, why not hone your cooking skills? There are plenty of cooking classes and cooking workshops you can attend, and they’re great fun!
It doesn’t matter what age you are. There’re cooking classes for kids, adults and everyone in between. Here are some of the best cookery courses in Singapore to help you to polish your skills while having a good time.

While they are primarily a culinary school for aspiring chefs, they do offer more casual cooking classes. These classes are conducted by professional chefs and they are refreshed every month, so you’ll always be able to learn something new from their classes.
Besides their classes conducted by professional chefs, you’ll also get to enjoy using their state-of-the-art cooking equipment which they have in their cooking studio. They also conduct corporate and team building cooking activities which you can choose to have in their cooking studio, offsite at a corporate office or virtually.
