Regular Evening Classes: (Now Available) we'll resume our regular classes with some changes to ensure safety. We're limiting class size to 7 guests or 5 couples to maintain 6 feet between guests. We'll provide hand sanitizer and gloves when needed and we have eliminated any need to pass items. If you want to read more about all of the changes we've made, scroll to the bottom of this email.

Private Daytime Classes: (Now Available) This is for couples, families, or groups who share a living space. Get out of the house and do something fun! The class will run just like our regular classes except you'll have the whole place to yourselves. Choose a day on our calendar and sign up to reserve a spot. We'll then contact you to coordinate the menu, number of guests, time, etc.
Virtual Classes: (Now Available) This is for work groups, friends, and families. We send you the recipes, grocery list, and setup instructions. Each person gathers their ingredients. Then we have a live Zoom video call. Our chef leads you through prepping, cooking, and plating the entire meal while everyone follows along at home (or just watch if they want). Viewers can ask questions and interact with the chef! Call or email us for more info and to reserve a time.

We have completely eliminated the need to pass or share any items. As usual, there's no group cooking here!
Hand sanitizer will be provided at each cook station. We'll have gloves available for any situation that might require them. We'll continue to use a food-safe sanitizer to sanitize any and all appropriate surfaces before, during, and after class.
