Why it works as a gift
A cooking or baking class is a gift of time and a skill: a hands-on session, usually with something to eat or take home at the end. It suits someone who already enjoys cooking or has said they want to learn a cuisine or a bake. Classes are local, so pick one in their city — or a live online class if they live elsewhere. Most schools don't sell vouchers online, so book a date with them or ask the school for one.
Who it's good for
Who should skip it
- Someone who finds cooking a chore
- Someone with dietary rules the class doesn't cater for — check vegetarian, Jain or eggless options first
How to choose
One cuisine or bake in an afternoon.
Breads, cakes and desserts.
Several sessions; some come with a certificate.
Cook along at home with a teacher on screen.
What to check
- Pick a cuisine or bake they already love, or one they've said they want to learn.
- Check the location and the schedule — weekend workshops are the easiest to fit in.
- Check whether ingredients are included and whether they take home what they make.
- Few schools sell gift vouchers online: book a date with them, or ask the school for a voucher.
