Our classes are usually 1 ½ – 3 hours long. You’ll be assigned to a workstation set up with the ingredients and equipment needed for your part in creating the recipe in that class. You may work individually or in pairs (depending on the menu) to complete the meal, following the directions from our chef instructors. When the cooking is finished, you’ll sit down to enjoy what you’ve made.

Your ticket includes hands-on instructions from our chefs, including food education and cooking tips.

You’ll enjoy a tasting of all the food prepared in the class, plus a copy of all the recipes, and leftovers to take home.
