Adult Cooking Classes
Selecting a class and menu aligned to your current skill level gives you the best chance at improving upon those skills. Keep in mind that the skill level we have assigned to each class is also an indication of pace. If you’re an experienced cook, we promise you’ll still pick up something new, whether that be a different technique, a timesaving trick, or a shopping tip.
Below are our 21+ adult classes. Groups or Friends of more than 8 guests are required to plan a private event instead of joining a public class. Most events take place Monday – Friday at 6:00 pm, with other events held on Friday or Saturday mornings.

How It Works
All classes are hands-on, fun and interactive! For most events, you’ll be working at a table of 4 to put together the entire menu and then sit down to eat your meal at the end of the class. All events are great for groups of friends, family, date night or if you’re joining on your won! If you’re looking to join with a group of 9 or more, you’ll need to plan a private event.

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
They are fun and interactive! Tables are set for 4 guests each. As a group of 4, you’ll be working together and sharing tasks to ultimately make your meal. The chef instructor will demonstrate several steps at a time, and then our team will pass out the ingredient trays. After about 2 hours of cooking you’ll sit down to enjoy your meal. Our tables of 4 allow for each table to take part in their own dish.
Our savory classes can hold up to 24 guests; 16 for most baking and pastry classes. Yes you can bring home your leftovers that you may have. Please bring a to-go container from home for this.
That’s great! But since our tables are set for 4 guests each, you may be asked to split up unless there is a single in the event. We recommend an even number, or you can play the odds as long as you’re okay with possibly splitting to a nearby table from your group.
You betcha!
You’ll want and need to register ahead of time. Our classes fill up in advance unless we are fortunate to add a calendar event last minute. Be sure to be on our newsletter, and join any waiting list of interest.
Please visit our cancellation policies here. Transfer to a new event is the same as a cancellation. We know things can come up, but being a ticketed event it will just depend on when you let us know. Over a week in advance, you’re in the clear. Less than a week, we’ll contact the waiting list or you can transfer to a friend. But the tickets will need to be filled in order to have a credit.
Unfortunately, we do not allow BYOB of any kind for beer, wine, covered cups or outside food. We do have a great selection of wine, local beers and more.
Our recommendation would be to find a class level somewhere in between (we have five), but not too advanced. Since you’ll be working in a group, no one person will complete every part of the meal. The class environment designed to not be intimidating. Please be sure to stay within the cooking level that you are comfortable with.
Our adult classes are for 21+ only with no exceptions. We do have great Parent + Child (ages 7-12) and Parent + Teen (ages 11-18) events with similar menus to take together
You betcha! They are sent digitally either to you or the recipient. If you want a physical (blank) gift card, just pop over to our Kitchen Monday – Friday and we’ll give you one. The gift card will still need to be purchased online, which you can purchase here.
All of our cooking classes can be date nights! Many people attend as a date to relax and cook together in a fun environment! All of our tables are set up for 4 guests to cook together, a table for 2 isn’t an option unless all 4 spots are purchased (or invite friends)!
The Onion Test
Beginner:
I have no idea where to start and my attempt may result in tears.
Beginner+:
I’ve cut a few onions. Probably never the same way twice.
Intermediate:
I’ve cut onions before. It’s not that difficult.
Intermediate+:
Cutting onions? No sweat. What else can we do?
Advanced:
What size dice? I got you, Chef Alyssa.
We love having fun with our onion test, but another way that we differentiate between levels is the number of dishes made and tasks being done. In a more beginner class, the pace is slower and we focus more on foundation skills. In a more intermediate class, we pick things up and have more tasks to complete at once and more focus on the cuisine and flavors. If you’re coming with someone who is on a different level than you, don’t worry, you can lean on that person and our culinary team to help you along. We also offer specialized workshops for more in-depth learning about a technique. In just about all culinary classes, you can expect us to crack the code for you on how to dice an onion.
