Cooking Classes

Cooking with Class offers a variety of different class options:

1. Complete Cooking Classes: These consist of a full meal demonstration followed by a sit down lunch or dinner of the foods demonstrated.  (3 hours)

2. Abbreviated Cooking demo (1 hour): Followed by complete meal (2.5 hours).  This option is ideal for private social events, such as birthdays, team building, showers, etc.

3. Abbreviated Cooking Classes with Tastes: Food demonstrated in half size portions (2 – 2.5 hours). Great for more casual affairs and larger events.
