You're invited to an exclusive Neil Perry cooking experience

[Daver6]

No email received. Looks like St Marko blocked it at the border into WA and as a result, Neil does not want us watching him preparing his exclusive weeds.

I received… and disregarded… the email.

But just to make sure I’m not missing the deal of the year here…

You pay $199 and get sent pyjamas and some green leaves.

Then you log onto an exclusive video stream, at the same time as thousands of other exclusive people, and old mate tells you to put the leaves in a white bowl.

Have I missed anything?

Maybe they could've offered a one on one session (or even an in person cooking class with a handful of people) as part of the Points Auction. I know it's out of the question in Sydney right now but they offered other stuff like a kids soccer coaching clinic with Graham Arnold and the dates were flexible.

I'd pay $200 for a in-person cooking class with NP. I have always loved & enjoyed cooking. Sometimes I wonder, I should've been a chef and not work in IT ..

I went through a few phases when I wanted to do different things - When I finished year 10, I wanted to become a FA. Interviewed for it and got the gig, but my parents said a big NO. Then I think after I finished Year 12, I wanted to become a chef ... again my parents said a big NO ... then during uni, I wanted to become a pilot, I didn't have the physical fitness for that ... Then I moved to Australia, wanted to be many things and I did some of those as well (ran a coffee shop, did/doing a part time gig at retailer, might soon start my own distribution business, fingers crossed!), but still I continue working full time in IT !

I did apply in 2017, but I had work commitments and couldn't take 3 months off work at that point . .. I was still on a work visa back then, so taking 3 months off work was a big NO NO from my sponsor !... but I keep trying each year, unsuccessfully, so far fingers crossed for the next year

I went to a Neil Perry cooking demo as part of Tasting Australia many years ago and after that I decided he was a complete and utter w@nker. He was telling 200 people that if they didn't use sushi grade fish for cooking then they were just wasting their time.

There are plenty of other food delivery services I would use before him
