   Teaching it at an Arts and Sciences session is a good idea.  We only
have three people in this barony who show any enthusiasm for the cookery
side of things.  Out of those three, all have done courses on Cooking.  One
is currently employed as a chef in a restaurant.  Ifsomeone flips back
through my CV they will see that I am qualified as a professional Pastry
chef even though I don't actually practice it as my primary income earner
and the other have various certificates on food preperation (Mostly Indian
foods, but we don't hold that against him =)  I find it helps having these
certificates, and it certainly helps that there are at least one person in
the kitchen who knows what they are on about with regards to Food
Preparation.  So it's a good thing to have if you can get it.  Failing
that, having someone who knows what they are on about teaching an Arts and
Sciences session on the subject could be considered the next best thing.
