Can I Request a Special Cuisine or Format?
Yes. Our client services team works closely with our clients to develop a custom menu for the class and match you with the right chef. That means everything from the format you want, from a party environment, to a more focused class to a one on one. From Japanese to fresh made pastas, we are excited to teach!
How many meals do I get out of one class?
Clients choose 3-4 simple dishes for each class, which can be used to snack on for lunch or paired together for dinner throughout the week. The chef will make one dish ahead of time as a snack; the others will be made collectively.
