【Workshop(s)】No More Lonely Delicious Moments - Singles Only Cooking Class

Wayne's Make My Day Cooking Lab was founded in June 2015, and we officially moved into our current space in June 2016. We currently host an average of 150 events annually. The Singles Only Cooking Class was my very first course, and over the past 10 years, we've surpassed 200 sessions. I feel like I'm practically an affection coach now! In 2021, I developed a new event – the Singles Only Collaborative Cooking Class! A truly exclusive experience! This class operates differently from others. It's a unique, ongoing <Singles Only> cooking class on the market, offering more than just the opportunity to meet people of the opposite sex. You'll learn to cook, interact with others, make new friends, share a meal, and enjoy wine! Each session is strictly a 6-man, 6-woman combination, with no room for less! Classes typically last 5 hours, starting with about an hour of social drinks, followed by 2 hours of group cooking activities, and culminating in a 2-hour dinner. Chef Wayne's concept for the course is that the entire process, from the start of cooking to enjoying the meal together, constitutes a true feast. Having lived in Melbourne, Australia, for many years, he deeply misses the lively atmosphere of gathering with loved ones and friends during holidays abroad. Therefore, the dining experience incorporates the concept of sharing dishes and conversation. He sincerely hopes everyone can feel warmth and genuine connection. When it comes to cooking, most men might feel apprehensive. You can view this as a new attempt, a novel experience. In reality, cooking is merely a medium for interaction and serves as one of the criteria for selecting participants. Those who come to learn cooking typically appreciate life's finer aspects. Approximately 40% of the class is dedicated to group cooking, 40% to dining together, and the remaining 20% to other interactive elements. Even if you don't meet a suitable partner, you'll at least have the experience of learning to cook, making a few new friends, enjoying a sumptuous meal with wine, and spending a pleasant, relaxing weekend. Love isn't something one person can decide alone; the other person plays a 50% role. For people of opposite sexes, connection happens through meeting, seeing eye-to-eye, chatting, finding a rhythm, and mutual interaction that sparks emotion. Setting too many predetermined conditions beforehand is simply unnecessary! Enrich your inner self, broaden your horizons, add to your personal appeal, and participate in quality events to increase your chances of meeting your future partner and gain more experience interacting with the opposite sex!

Moved to Australia at 13 to study, pursuing Art and Graphic Design at the University of Melbourne. Lived abroad for over 14 years before settling in Taiwan in 2007. During his time abroad, he lived near Victoria Market for an extended period. With fresh ingredients readily available, his interest in culinary exploration sparked. He attended several short-term cooking courses and learned home-style dishes from a Sicilian Italian mother. His outgoing personality, loving to make friends, also led him to exchange culinary knowledge and culture with friends from various countries, allowing him to taste and learn many international home-style dishes! Beyond traditional Taiwanese home cooking, he has a broad understanding of various global cuisines. His personality is akin to Australians; he enjoys researching recipes and spices at his own pace, preferring not to follow trends and only cooking dishes he personally enjoys.
