Demonstration Classes
By watching the chef prepare a menu while receiving professional instruction for each dish, this format encourages ease and comfort, while being interactive at the same time.
- We will provide recipe packets for all students to take home.
- Seating in the round that allows each student to hear the instructor and see the demonstrations clearly.
- And, of course, each student will get to taste the dishes prepared!
Hands-On Classes
With the opportunity to get down and dirty in the kitchen, our hands-on approach will have you working more closely with our chef instructors to gain the knowledge to take home with you. Along with your classmates, you will gain the knowledge that only one-on-one instruction can bring – from the basics to more advanced techniques to use in the kitchen while preparing chosen menu items.
- Class sizes may be limited according to menu being prepared.
- Aprons will be provided for class use.
- Each student will receive recipe packets to use at home and a sampling of the dishes prepared in class along with a review of the techniques discussed in class.

If you are looking for the place for your children to not only have fun, but to learn, create and share the joys of cooking, then look no further. Not only will your children learn the skill sets designed for the kitchen, but they’ll also learn the importance of team work and logic while cooking dishes that are age-appropriate. Give your children the gift of cooking – something they will be able to use the rest of their lives.
