Class Policies

For best class experience, please be reminded of our class policies.

Hands-on Group Classes

All of our classes and cooking events are hands-on, the exception is for our demo events which will be presented by a guest chef and students will be seated. You will be standing while preparing and cooking the menu, chairs are available if needed. We teach group cooking where we share ingredients and tools with the participants at the tables. A typical class room setup is four students per table. On average a class will run 2 hours, please defer to the class details page for that class to see actual times as some classes are longer than 2 - 2.5 hours. A light snack and water is provided.

Students must wear comfortable closed-toed shoes, long hair should be tied back in a ponytail or bun. Masks are available upon request.

Class Ages

Our kids classes and camps are designed for ages 5 to 17. The age range for each class is noted in the class details for that class. Our adult classes are for ages 18+. Select menus are for ages 21+.

Reservations

All reservations will receive an email receipt after payment confirmation. Payment in full is required at the time of registration for all classes and camps. No walk-ins at this time. For events, a non-refundable and non-transferrable event deposit is required at the time of booking for private events. Event deposits apply to your date and time booked only; they are not transferable to a new date and/or time. Your balance due will be charged 5 days prior to your event.
