School Notes:

For NYC In-Person Classes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm 3 business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require 6 business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen. Classes are not refundable.

 For Culinary Boot Camps:
 

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to anyone who misses a single class, no matter the reason, as it happens too often and we cannot handle that volume of make-ups.  Once you book your boot camp, make sure to mark (and prioritize) all the dates in your calendar. 

 Because we know how disappointing it is to miss a class, you are always welcome to send a friend in your place (just send us their name ahead of class), and perhaps insist that they cook you dinner as repayment.  

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

 Thank you for understanding!

  • Culinary Boot Camp: Skills Intensive (6 Weeks)

    I loved this class. Chef Erica was so knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. I learned a great deal, not only in terms of practical skills, but also in terms of food science, and conscious consumerism. I also had so much fun! I looked forward to class every week. The small group size made it possible for all of us to get hands on instruction, and to enjoy each other’s company. Just wonderful in all ways. I highly recommended this class :)

    Erica is both funny and an amazing teacher, and I learned way more than I thought I would. Not only that, but she also makes it easy to remember what was taught.
  • Culinary Boot Camp: Skills Intensive (6 Weeks)

    My husband and I took this class because we're expecting a baby and I was worried about how to feed it. We loved the class so much we signed up for Bootcamp II! Erica made cooking easy and fun. She's also hilarious. We looked forward to it every week. I started going in barely knowing how to boil pasta and now I can actually make the pasta (I won't, but I can!) I highly recommend this class, no matter what level you think you might be (and, it's a great weekly date night!)

    Erica is really fantastic and the course was perfect for a beginner. I felt comfortable, yet challenged and once a week was frequent enough that I felt like I was making real progress. Would recommend.
  • Culinary Boot Camp: Skills Intensive (6 Weeks)

    This class is awesome! It’s great for beginners and more advanced cooks alike and offers a really comprehensive overview of techniques and cuisines. Erica is also fantastic - patient and hilarious. Highly, highly recommend, and I’ll be doing other classes here soon!
