Frequently Asked Questions

Question: HOW DO THE CLASSES WORK?: Answer:
Each class is completely hands-on, interactive and a lot of fun. We bring all the kitchen supplies and ingredients you’ll need. You’ll be stationed at tables of four and will work with your table to produce the meal. If there are more than four people in your group, you may be split up.
Question: HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN EACH CLASS?: Answer:
Up to 24 guests attend each class, or six tables of four each. We can host larger groups for private events or team-building classes.
Question: IS THERE A WAITING LIST FOR CLASSES THAT ARE FULL?: Answer:
Yes. The waiting list is first come, first serve. If you’d like to be notified of any cancellations, please contact us. Please include the date and name of the class(es) you’re interested in.
Question: WHAT IF I’VE NEVER COOKED BEFORE?: Answer:
Sign up for our Beginner Class! We’ll go over the basics of the basics.
Question: WHAT HAPPENS IF I COME WITH A FRIEND WHO IS NOT AS GOOD OF A COOK AS I AM?: Answer:
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.

Of course! We also have eco-friendly to-go boxes to save your food for later.

We get it. Life can be unpredictable at times. As much as we’d like to see you in class, something might come up. On our side, we’ve made non-refundable purchases and scheduled the appropriate staff, so we have to find a balance. Listed below are our policies—and some possible solutions for you if you can’t attend.

CANCELLATIONS: If you cancel up to 7 days before the class date, you will receive a full refund for the amount of your class ticket. If you cancel 72 hours in advance, you will receive 50% of your class ticket amount back. We cannot refund you for cancellations made within 72 hours of a class.
TRANSFERS: Our tickets are transferable, so think about your friends and family if you’re outside the window for a refund. If someone can take your place, you just have to let us know.
