Cooking Class

You don't have to be Julia Child to put on a cooking class! And it doesn't have to be complicated French cuisine, either. If your organization has a kitchen, or if you can rent a space with one, you can hold a cooking class fundraiser. There are several ways to go about it. The class can cover the basics of cooking, a specific type of ethnic food, or how to put together a holiday meal. Your class can also focus on just one type of food, such as vegetable dishes or party appetizers, or one cooking method, like baking. Limit the number of students based on the amount of cooking space available to you, and charge a fee to participate. For a lower fee, you can also allow observers who may not be able to actually do the cooking, but can take notes and get the recipes used in the class. Afterward, everyone can sample the goodies prepared during class. By varying the topic and cooking method, you'll never run out of possibilities for future classes.
