What is the dress code?
For hands-on events, wear clothing that is comfortable for you and try to keep away from long and wide sleeves, as they may become a hazard while cooking.

Is seating possible during class if needed?
Absolutely. We have stools available during class and students are more then welcome to sit whenever they want. Please note that all of our classes have seating time during chef’s demonstration.
What if I am late?
Every class starts with a 5- to 10-minute educational discussion that would leave you time to catch up before starting the cooking demonstration and preparation.
What about wine?
Your class usually includes wine sampling with each course that is always picked to pair with your food (Check class listing for detail).
Additional wine is available on request – please, drink responsibly.
