Regular classes cap at 12. You cook in pairs, make your own meal from scratch, then sit down to eat together. Thursday and Saturday evening classes are 21+. You make a main course and a dessert, with a welcome cocktail or alcohol-free cocktail and a glass of wine at dinner. Sunday afternoon classes are open to ages 10 and up with an adult, and they are vegan friendly. Ricotta Cheese Night can be adapted for gluten-free diets.
Private classes take 8 to 12 people, and corporate team building groups go up to 16. Solo cooks are welcome, though you may be paired with another guest or with the chef.
