Don't see a date that works? We add classes when a waitlist gets long, and any class can be booked as a private event for 8 or more.

Every class includes

What you get for your seat

All ingredients

Fresh, measured and waiting at your station. We buy from local grocers and the Saturday market when we can.

Real instruction

A lead instructor and an assistant for every class, so questions get answered while your onions are still in the pan.

A full meal

You eat what you cook, seated at the long table. Most people take leftovers home in our containers.

Recipe cards

Printed cards to take home and a PDF in your inbox the next morning, with shopping lists and swaps.

Before you come

A few things to know

  • Arrive 10 minutes early. We start cooking on time so the bread gets its rise and dinner is hot.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and tie back long hair. We have aprons and hair ties.
  • Tell us about allergies when you book. We adapt most recipes; see the FAQ for limits.
  • Age 16+ for adult classes. Teens 13–15 may join with a booked adult. Younger cooks have their own kids classes.
  • BYOB is fine for date nights and private events, guests 21+ with ID only.
  • Plans change? Reschedule free up to 72 hours before. Details in our cancellation policy.
