Regretfully, due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, we will not be offering any classes.
We offer three different types of classes:
- Seasonal
- Demonstration
- Hands-on
All classes are subject to availability.
We request that participants be at least 15 years old. If you will be bringing a child between the ages of 12 and 14, please only register yourself for the class and the child can accompany you. Only one child per adult is permitted. Regretfully, due to the fact that classes are taught in a commercial kitchen, children under 12 years of age are not permitted.
See below for more information about our class schedules.
