Private Cooking Classes

Private cooking classes are ideal for those who love cooking or to give experience to beginner chefs. Participants will be the ones cooking the recipes at our cooking stations. One cooking instructor will be leading the class while another instructor will be helping stations as needed. Classes can accommodate 1-14 participants. The more people the merrier, however we have learned the run time for classes with more than 6 people take longer at approximately 1.5 hours to complete due to the nature of having different levels of experience working on a multiple recipe meal.
