Additional programs offered by the Demonstration Kitchen

Private cooking demonstration: Private cooking demonstrations are ideal for staff or club retreats, Residence Hall programs, and sorority and fraternity programs. Cooking instructors will provide a fun and informative program for any group, and a variety of menus are available to choose from. The Demonstration Kitchen staff take care of the grocery shopping, preparation and cleanup. 

Kitchen rental: Those looking for a fun and creative way to host a meeting, celebrate with a group or hold a team-building exercise can rent the Demonstration Kitchen. Cooking is a great way to gather friends and colleagues, and the Demonstration Kitchen is available to reserve for students, faculty and staff.
