You have yoga classes, keep-fit classes, self-defence classes - all sorts! So are there any cookery classes? I'd love to learn to cook properly I am so rubbish at it

There used to be Azz - but the local authority adult education classes have been cut to the bone and are also very expensive now. I would imagine they could be quite fun!
There are private holiday/cooking course affairs but I don't know if there are any basic ones or whether they are more specialised/advanced. Nice way to spend a holiday!
Surely a DVD is what you need? Delia on a disc? I think she is your best bet - she did a TV series literally starting with how to boil an egg.
If I lived closer I'd swap you kitchen skills for computer skills lessons!

EDIT: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss...+cook&x=8&y=22 There you go - Delia Smith How to Cook .... but it's on VHS

Can you transfer?

VHS lol that must be really old

There must be beginners videos on youtube - I will have to check them out

I also think it's a shame we live so far, I'd love some cookery lessons from you

Not sure you need any computer skills tho - you seem to know you stuff

Trial and error...

I love to try new things but I tend to change things as I go along..

At the moment me and my OH are really into veggie cooking it is so tasty

Follow the TV chefs Azz, . . one that put me right off was Keith Floyd, (bless him), . . he used to throw everything in the pot, . .he called it rustic cooking.
