Bangladesh: How to Find a Cooking Class in Dhaka?

Finding about cooking is very easy in Internet. If you search about recipes then you would immediately find almost everything you need to know. Well, it is not that easy when you want to find about cooking classes. I am a very lazy man when it comes to cooking. Perhaps the thing that I can make is sandwitch and smashed potato. Thanks to my wife, I recently learnt about making Bangladeshi rice (bhat). Anyway, the other day, I needed to search about cooking classes in Dhaka because I wanted to give the information to one of my students. So, I did my search in Google with the keyword learn cooking in dhaka and I could not find anything substantial.

I wanted to find out website url, physical addresses, telephone or mobile number or email of cooking institutions. The best thing I could find is a report in Daily Star: The Road to Chefdom

If you read them you will find names of some institutes but not their actual address. Well, I came to know that Tommy Miah’s Institute of Hospitality Managemen is situated in Mohammapur and in Dhanmondi there is Apon Ghor. Well the report was published on 2006 and I do not know if these two centers are yet in their mentioned places.

So, in the end, I realized that the best place to find information about cooking classes is the newspapers. I am a big fan of Internet but I realized that it will still be some years for us in Bangladesh that we can dream of finding this kind of small but necessary information in Internet.
