A Guide to the Best of Maya Kitchen’s Online Cooking Classes

Why enroll in an online cooking class?

Nowadays, with all the time spent at home, its a struggle to balance work and household chores.  It can be taxing on a mental, physical, and emotional level. One way of alleviating all this is to soothe your mind and well-being with something you truly enjoy. Online learning courses let you educate yourself on things you never thought you could learn outside a traditional classroom setting. The Maya Kitchen makes the joy of cooking more accessible with our live online cooking classes.

This article tackles everything you need to know about online cooking classes, as well as a rundown of the types of courses we have to offer.    

5 Basics of Online Cooking Classes

If you’ve never done an online class before, here’s what you need to know:

1.    Make sure you have a decent Internet connection.

A stable Internet connection is a must. Online cooking classes are an investment. Therefore, you need to make sure that you maximize your learning potential.

Its unavoidable to experience a disconnection every now and then but having good Internet speed ensures you get back online immediately. 

The great thing about our online cooking classes is that its live. This meaning, your instructor can pick up where you left off when you reconnect. However, stable Internet lets you learn with minimal interruptions.

2. Use a reliable device.

If you don’t have a computer of your own, borrow one from a family member or a friend. Learning online is best experienced on a desktop or laptop. The large screen ensures you see your instructor and what he or she is demonstrating. A tablet is also an option and so is a phone, but if you’re learning in a group, then its best to have a large screen.

3. Download and test the recommended video conference app before signing up.

Make sure to download the appropriate video conference app before signing up for an online cooking class. Test it, too. This gives you time to determine if your device supports it. It also lets you troubleshoot any technical difficulties. The Maya Kitchen uses Zoom for its live classes. 

4. Know and follow the guidelines of your online cooking classes.

After signing up, read the fine print. You will need to prepare certain ingredients and cooking or baking tools before the class. The last thing you need is to discover that you don’t have an essential ingredient midway into the course. 

5. Come with a willingness to learn, ask questions, and have fun!

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. They’re all part of the learning process. The great thing about live online courses is you can ask your instructor for guidance at any time during the class. If you have a question, speak up. Make the most of this opportunity to learn. 

Most importantly, have fun. Think of this as your time to do something good for yourself beyond work and day-to-day chores. It’s a way to learn how to do what you love in the comfort of your own home.
