The Advisory

Novice to Nightmare: The Cooking Class Disaster | The Advisory - Ep.41


Listen Later

On episode 41 of the Internet's favourite 2 person Australian comedy advice show called The Advisory... nailed it, we turn up the heat in a beginner's cooking class where the sous chef... well, can't cook.

Our feature advice seeker takes it upon himself to regain control of the kitchen and serve up a slice of sass when the person who can't cook is put in charge of the main course. Will you trust her with your tastebuds? Or raise a spatula in rebellion?

But what if you just got done recovering from a stomach bug that turned your favourite meal into a trigger for nausea. Your significant other, despite your explicit no-burger plea, grills up some juicy patties. Do you stomach the meal... or have kick off some relationship beef? Spoilers! He goes for the beef!

And just when you thought you were home safe... the phone rings. A listener calls in to 'redpill' us on some Arnott's Shapes facts!


This week's feature advice seeker asks:

AITA for telling members of my cooking class not to eat bad food?

I'm a 46M taking a beginner's cooking class. Most students cook occasionally, but one young woman has virtually no experience. On day one, she struggled with basic tasks like maintaining the right heat for her soup and I helped, though she seemed standoffish.

During the next class, she was distracted while melting chocolate, another basic task. I intervened, turning down her burner and explaining the importance of attentiveness. She was again dismissive.

In our third class, she was put in charge of the entrée. Given her lack of experience, I was worried about the safety and quality of her dish. I tried to subtly express my concerns and offer help.

When asked to reflect on the class, I commented, "don't trust someone who can't boil soup to bake a salmon." Though it upset her and some others thought I should be more open, I maintain my concern about the potential health risks of her cooking.
