Learning how to cook is one of the most important skills a person can have because it can help you
save and make money. Mathapelo Montsho and Yolanda Nomoyi,Co-owners of Why Cook recently
opened their cooking studio, Why Cook Studio in Bryanston, Johannesburg to help chefs with cooking
space where they can have photo shoots, cooking classes, team buildings and much more.
The duo has been hosting and catering easier for their clients since 2014 when they first ventured into
the culinary business. They faced many challenges, ranging from finding the right location for the
studio, suppliers to partner with, the type of equipment to acquire and the timing to have a studio.
“We realized that it is a challenge within the industry to find a vacant studio to book and host cooking
classes, so we decided to open our own cooking studio but funding seemed to be our greatest
challenge because it is not easy to get funding, especially for SMEs” said Montsho and Nomoyi.
The two ladies will be hosting a variety of cooking classes throughout the year, for example they will
be hosting friends cooking classes on the 13th of March as well as a couple’s class on the 27th of
March.
