It isn’t true when they say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. If learning is a lifelong process and you want to teach your old dad to sit, rollover, brew beer, or maybe even cook, then sign him up for a culinary masterclass at Brighton Cookery School. In good time, he will be demonstrating his new skills for you and the family.
