What are “professional cooking lessons”? Does this term refer to food preparation lessons that are presented in a professional manner to anyone who chooses to enrol, by professional lecturers and instructors, in a professional kitchen? Alternatively, do you think that it involves attending lessons in which you are taught to become a professional chef, one who follows a career in which you cook for paying diners?
