How much does a class cost?

Classes start at $77 per person, and the price depends on the menu ingredients. The Bûche de Noël class on the calendar is $85.

What is the difference between demonstration and hands-on classes?

In demonstration classes you watch the chef prepare the recipes. In hands-on classes you work in small groups to prepare all or part of the menu. Either way you eat full portions of each dish.

Can I get a refund if I can't attend?

No. Classes are non-refundable, but you can email to request a transfer to another class up to one week before. Boot Camps and workshops need two weeks' notice.

Are there classes for kids?

Yes. Junior Chefs classes are for ages 7 to 12 and cover basic kitchen skills. Teen Chefs classes are for ages 13 to 17 and build on those skills.

How do I book a private party?

Call 520-261-1996 for pricing. Book at least four weeks ahead, longer during the holidays. A 50% deposit secures the date.

About Flying Aprons Tucson

Flying Aprons Tucson is a cooking school for home cooks, founded by Michele Schulze. It has no single house chef. A long roster of local restaurant chefs, pastry chefs, bakers and drink pros teach instead. They include Carlotta Flores of El Charro Café, Maria Mazon of BOCA Tacos y Tequila and Janos Wilder of Janos Cooks. Classes meet at Cook Tucson on N. Stone Ave and follow the seasons and what's happening around town.

Classes come in two styles. In a demonstration, you watch the chef cook and eat full portions of every dish. In a hands-on class, small groups cook all or part of the menu under the chef's direction. Classes take 10 to 16 students. Some also run on Zoom, with ingredient kits for hard-to-find items. December brings a Bûche de Noël class.

Junior Chefs (ages 7 to 12) and Teen Chefs (13 to 17) have their own classes. Private parties cover birthdays, showers and team building. They run about three hours, with appetizers, a class and a meal you eat together.
