Wanjy that makes the two of us. Why not try cooking from home that which you know how to or google for recipes and try them at home then you can start by cooking at home and supplying to offices. But before you start selling food you have to visit the Public Health Department of the city or Municipal council(at least that's what happens in Msa) they carry out tests on you and if the results are good you are given a cert to allow you operate the business. From there who knows you can start a food supply chain. Those are my 2 zim cents. Waiting to hear what other able wazuans have to say.

Buru SOS used to offer cheap but good high quality cooking/baking lessons for as low as 1,500/= since the lessons were subsidized. You could try them and it maybe a good place to network with like-minded folks.

Last sato I checked the SOS Technical Training Institute in Buruburu phase II tho' the offices are not open on Saturdays, A lady stuff advised that Baking and cake decoration fee is Kshs.3K per month n pastries Kshs2,200 per month. A friend of mine did baking n cake decoration last year n was paying 1,500 when I called the lady to enquire Y she overcharged me she denied that they have never charged less than 3K . . . Those are Saturday classes only from 8am to 1pm

@ Wanjy ... as @ Robin.. has said, nenda shule wacha kuregarega the fees. This is very affordable considering what people are paying to learn other trades. Moreover it is a tax allowble expense so you can claim it nce your start your successful business!

@ Wendz, so this is your new hiding joint ( thread)?

All the best good people. Always remember Quality Before Cash is the best business policy. It never fails as it always distinguishes you.
