Below is general information about the types of classes we offer and our policies. To learn about and register for upcoming classes, “select a month” in the upper right menu.

On our class calendar, you will notice a number in parentheses, i.e (12) or (0), this indicates the number of spaces remaining in the class.

TYPE OF CLASS	WHAT TO EXPECT	LENGTH	MAX NO. OF STUDENTS	COST
Participation	Wear comfy shoes and come prepared to cook! In our participation classes students will break into groups, with each group preparing all the recipes provided for the evening. Once we’re done, we’ll all sit down for a full meal, so you may want to go easy on what you eat before coming to class. Unless specifically noted, classes are for ages 16 and older.  If your child is under 16 and would like to attend, special permission is required in advance.	3 hours	12	$50 to $65 per person
Demonstration	Demonstration classes are a great way to be sure you don’t miss a thing. You’ll be able to watch and listen to your chef as she or he prepares fabulous food right in front of you! You won’t miss out on any techniques or steps needed to prepare a great dish. Once the food has been prepared, each student will receive a generous taste of each recipe prepared. Portions are a bit lighter than in our participation class. Unless specifically noted, classes are for ages 16 and older.  If your child is under 16 and would like to attend, special permission is required in advance.	2-1/2 hours	12	$40 to $50 per person
Children & Teens	Children's and teen classes typically include a short lecture followed by hands-on activities, depending on the age. Be prepared to get a little messy as we’ll be cooking from scratch.	1-1/2 to 3 hours	10	$25 to $50 per person
