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!

    The instructor was great and I learned a lot, the food was delicious. It's worth taking into account that it's not a hands on class - as a student you cut a few vegetables and handle dough, but was of the cooking is done by the instructor.

    Good class and knowledgeable teacher. But would like to have done more of the actual cooking rather than just watching the teacher cook. I can watch cooks at home on TV.

    Jennifer was a wonderful teacher and not only did I learn a lot about Indian food, but I learned some very good basic kitchen techniques which would help with any cuisine I might be preparing. Plus, what we made was absolutely delicious, and when we sat down to enjoy the fruits of our labor, everyone had a great time and great meal.

    John was great. We got there late which is not a good thing and he was exceptionally gracious about it. The set up for a first timer was perfect. Small group, comfortable environment. We participated in the chopping and had a great discussion about the different spices. We finished the evening with an absolutely delicious meal. Thanks John !!
