Candidate’s Response:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you concerning my comments on the course of cooking which recently i attended.

Firstly, the course was wonderful because the mentor who taught me was knowledgeable about different dishes that gave me an opportunity to have complete insight towards the way those dishes are made. In terms of equipments, not only were they modern, but they were diverse which gave me a wide range of options in the process of cooking, which helped me enhance the quality of cookery.

Also, i have done five kind of cookery from foreign countries which are well-known throughout the world. Although they were difficult to make, i could succeed in making them as a result of having an excellent mentor.

As, i had great experience in this course, i would like to suggest you to hold a cookery course which is being focused on local cookery since the previous course was concentrated on international cookery, hence this new course will compensate the shortage of tradition cookery

I will appreciate you if let me know about your decision in this regard.

Yours faithfully.

Dear Sir/Madam

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the enriching experience I had during the recent cookery course. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and wanted to provide you with some feedback.

One of the aspects I particularly appreciated about the course was the hands-on approach to learning. The practical sessions were not only informative but also immensely enjoyable. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and approachable, making the learning process engaging and interactive.

Since completing the course, I have been actively experimenting with various recipes and techniques in my own kitchen. The skills and confidence I gained have allowed me to explore new cuisines and improve my cooking abilities significantly.

I would like to suggest that the school consider offering a specialized course in Asian cuisine, particularly focusing on Thai or Japanese cooking techniques. These cuisines have gained immense popularity, and I believe that many students, including myself, would benefit greatly from such a course.

Once again, thank you for providing such an excellent culinary learning experience. I look forward to any future courses you may offer and appreciate your consideration of my suggestion.

Sincerely,
