Children’s Cooking Classes at etcetera
By Sharyn Smart
With a great passion for cooking, Naomi Ward has years of experience in the hospitality industry. She has worked as a chef and has trained them.
Deciding it was time for a change, she purchased Etcetera in New Plymouth in 2003. The shop specialises in tableware and kitchenware. The first thing to add to the shop was a kitchen. Naomi started holding classes in the evening for adults looking to expand their cooking skills. These proved popular and within 18 months she decided to introduce children’s cooking classes.
“I am passionate about children learning to cook in this day and age. They need the basics of cooking for when they go flatting or move on to university.”
