What is the format of your classes? 

Great cooking isn’t about recipes. It’s about techniques. You will feel comfortable and confident the moment you enter our kitchen! Our instructors are professional Chefs that create a fun, hands-on, and interactive learning environment.

We have two different class formats:

Hands-on/Demonstration: These are full participation classes where students take part in practicing techniques and preparing the menu items covered in that class. 

Demonstration: These classes are designed as observation classes where participants will watch while Chef Instructors explain and show food preparation and cooking techniques.

The type of instruction will be noted in the description of every class. Classes will be 2 to 4 hours depending on the material being covered. During class, you may be standing for much of the time preparing food hands-on. Classes may be in individual or team format. Instructors will decide how teams will be set up and chosen.

How should I dress?

Please wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe nonskid type shoes. You will want to wear comfortable clothes and non-slip closed-toe shoes. We will provide an apron and a hat. Please pull your hair back so that your hair does not pose a safety or health issue for you and others in the class.
