Classes are conducted with one chef for groups of 8 to 12 people in our culinary laboratory. All equipment (aprons, knives, dishes, ingredients) is provided. The chef demonstrates each recipe step, and students recreate it either taking turns through each stage or working individually. Most classes include on-site tasting of prepared items. Each participant leaves with a recipe card for what was made.

No prior cooking knowledge is necessary for our classes. Guided and advised by a chef, every recipe and technique is explained in detail so you can successfully recreate dishes at home for family and friends.

Creating a customer account is required for all purchases.
