You probably know more than you think you know! The great thing about The Foodie School is that all methods are taught from the ground up and you receive a lot of tips on “how-tos” and “whys.” Working in groups helps novices learn from more experienced cooks.

More experienced cooks will hone their skills by learning professional tips from the chefs. Even people who have been cooking at home for years will learn skills they may not have picked up from cooking shows or books. Having a teacher is a wonderful resource.

Please Contact Us at least 48 hours before the date of your class in order to have accommodations made.

We typically create an appetizer and start components of the main meal during the first hour of class when you will take a break to eat your first course. We then return to the kitchen to finish out the main course and set up a buffet for you to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You will be standing for roughly 2 hours during the course of the class and will working in groups to create the food you will eat. Some recipes will be created with the entire class and some will be at work stations with your group. You will be lead through the steps of each recipe by your chef during class to create the recipes that you will receive via e-mail after class. Our amazing volunteers will be assisting the chef instructor and will complete cleanup. All groups create the same dishes, so you get to see how everything is made. Some members of each group may take turns at the stove/fryer, etc. Come hungry as there is lots of food to be consumed in class and may not be brought home as we are classified as an educational space and are not for food sales. We appreciate your understanding this rule!

If you have trouble being on your feet for 2 hours, please email us at thefoodieschool@gmail.com prior to class and we will either have a stool for you or you can take intermittent breaks though class.

After class, you will be seated to try all of the food created in class (there will be plenty of it!). Please remember that we are classified as an educational space and are not allowed to let food go home, so come to class hungry!
