Okay, let’s be real. Dinner dates are great and all (look out for our upcoming blog about our favourite eateries in Leeds), but they can get kind of…repetitive! You know the drill - your date's small talk on their incredibly exciting new side hustle and an extremely long monologue on bitcoin. But can't we do better?! Enter our cooking classes: the ultimate way to spice up your date night whilst actually learning something new together. Here’s why cooking classes are the new dinner date:
It's Hands On
There’s something about actually getting your hands dirty in the kitchen that equals a good time! Whether you're kneading dough, folding dumplings or whisking up a crème anglaise, there's more time for action and a little less for conversation.
Get Creative
If there's one way to figure out if your date is an interesting Idina or a bland Brian, it's in the kitchen! Do they add a sprinkle of spice with a flair? Or can they not handle the heat? Show off your own creative skills, or at least have a laugh at your lack of them!
Switch Off
In an increasingly digital dating world, it feels good to disconnect and get stuck into something meaningful. Sure, you can snap a selfie with your date and the delicious food you made, but the real fun is in the moment! So take a break and disconnect for a little while for some undistracted fun with your date.
Learn Something New
Honestly, how hot is it when someone can cook? By the end of the class, you’ll have learned something useful (and impressive) that you can actually use later. Imagine cooking dinner for each other at home, flexing your new skills. You’ll be the couple that can throw down in the kitchen—and that’s just chef’s kiss.
Make Memories
We believe that date night shouldn't be forgettable. You’ll always remember the time you and your date made the most amazing sushi or had a blast at Tacos & Tequila. (You can even buy matching Leeds Cookery School aprons - the perfect souvenir to take home and recreate the fun you had in your own kitchen!)
It's Delicious
Ok so this is a bit of an obvious one. Our chefs are on hand to help you make some seriously delicious food. Eaten most of it before the class ends? We don't blame you! But if there is anything left, you can keep the fun going and take your delicious creations home. Because good food really is the key to anyone's heart!
