Additional [Hands-On] Culinary Class Information
Hands-On
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to chop, mix and knead your way through each recipe.
Classes are open to all skill levels.
Even Smaller Classes
We have reduced our class sizes to 9 people to ensure ample social distancing. Fewer
cooks in the kitchen right now is a good thing! Additional class dates may be added
throughout the semester should the first classes fill up.
Learn from the Best
- Our instructors are teachers and chefs - they have a wealth of experience and love sharing their knowledge.
- Cooking classes are 2½-3 hours unless otherwise noted. You’ll be standing and cooking for most of the class.
- Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and tie long hair back. Wear clothes that can get a little messy. Do not wear shirts with loose sleeves. Aprons are recommended.
- Please bring a face covering which is currently required to enter the building and which may be needed during portions of class.
- Cook and taste at your own station, with individual equipment and disposable gloves provided.
- Be ready to have fun!
