What to expect

• Before we start everyone must sign a waiver ( we provide them).     

• Be prepared to enjoy. Cooking is all about sharing and having fun!

• Generally, any cooking session is an average of  2 hours long – Timing depends on the skill level and the number of guests in the cooking class, so make sure to have an open window to enjoy the full experience.

• We have a short ice-breaker to introduce ourselves and spend a few minutes explaining the cooking process and safety tips, so everybody feels comfortable and relaxed during the session.

• We strive for a “clean-as-we-go” policy to keep the kitchen orderly during the session. Everyone helps! 🙂 You and your partner are encouraged to clean up your station after you are done chopping/ prep work.

• Guests are welcome to use their own aprons. I’m not providing aprons because of Covid 19 .

• We will have different stations to do the prep work/cooking.
•  At the end everyone will be able to taste the fruits of your labor!
