HOW WE RUN THE CLASS? 

• Learning by doing! You can start cooking at your own pace before and after actual zoom class because we email you ingredient list, recipes and video. We will send you details for your Live Cooking Demonstration on ZOOM.
• We will answer your question pre and post-class by email hello@homecookinglive.com. If you made the recipes, you would have more questions for us. We hope this is one of your favourite dishes for some time!
• We recommend you to watch the pre-recorded the video below to understand the recipes before you start making and cooking. We know it might be not easy to find ingredients. It is better to build up the pantry slowly. We developed our recipes in the way that you can shop at your local supermarkets.
• In this online cooking class, you are welcome to BYO your wine and beer. However, for safety, please focus on cooking, and you can drink with the meal later.
• We recommend for you to measure and put all the ingredients on a dish/tray to be ready to cook. This way, you can enjoy yourself while connecting to others. If you tell us about your dietary requirement, we can suggest some substitute ideas. We will do our best to help you to cook the dishes on the menu.
