Class Description

Description

​​Join us as we tour NYC's largest and most beloved farmers market: the Union Square Greenmarket!

We'll wander through the farm stands, sampling and shopping for local produce and farm-made products to fill our shopping basket.
 

Along the way, we'll discuss:

  • What makes something "local"
  • Why "organic" is not the most important label at the market
  • What is currently in season and at its peak of flavor
  • What are the most important products to buy at the market
  • Tips for choosing the best produce

After 45 minutes of tasting and shopping, we'll head downtown via subway to our cooking school in SoHo where we'll prepare a full, seasonally-inspired lunch to enjoy together. A typical menu consists of a local cheese + seasonal produce topped crostini (for nibbling on while we cook), a hearty seasonal vegetable and local grain dish, and a baked seasonal fruit dessert. Vegetarians can be easily accommodated.

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!

    Instructor was great and answered all of my questions, food was delicious and fun to prepare, loved the market and the kitchen facility
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    I enjoyed the whole experience! What a great way to spend the day in NY! Susan made it so much fun! Can’t wait to try my new recipes out on my own.
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    The instructor was warm and inclusive as both an instructor and as a person. She guided us through the farmer's market and left room for individual discovery and then created a conducive learning environment back in the test kitchen. I loved how she would acknowledge the common mistakes made in the kitchen and humanize the experience overall. We were all different levels of cooks, but her content was accessible to all of us. Most importantly the food was amazing and I've continued to use the insight I gained there (and the recipes!) ever since.
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    Had a spectacular time at the class. I have had cooking classes before, yet learned several new things that surprised me. Also got a sense of how to shop from the market and put together combinations I would have never thought of doing before. All in all, a really fun experience and one which I hope to do again on a future trip to New York. Suzanne

  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    This class was great. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and she kept the class pretty interactive. Although we cooked fish, there were also a lot of options in our meal for vegetarians as well. I also learned a lot about how to navigate the farmer's market
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    Fantastic trip with Erica. We had other people trying to join the class and listen in to her pearls of wisdom! The tour was extremely helpful and we feel much more confident about navigating the farmers market now and the food was delicious. Thanks for a fantastic day Erica!
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    This was great! Fun to learn about fruits and vegetables that I had never used before, or was scared to use! Small class so plenty of opportunity to learn and ask questions.
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    This class was outstanding! I learned much more than I expected. Would recommend this to everyone.
  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

  • Farmer's Market Tour + Cooking Class

    Very good one suggestion would be to try and provide some written material on what was done to take with you. However I would recommend taking the class it was fun and informative.
