THE DETAILS
A virtual cooking experience is a fantastic hands-on activity and ice-breaker for colleagues who don’t share a common workspace.
We can ship ingredient kits* to your guests (additional $80 each, includes FedEx shipping) or you can opt to send participants a digital shopping list (no charge), depending on your budget.
Our chef-instructors are engaging and fun, allowing participants to learn a few new culinary skills while also bantering with one another.
TIMING
Each 90-minute virtual class culminates in a fully prepared meal to eat + enjoy. If you prefer a shorter event (30- or 60-minutes), we are happy to customize).
PRICING
Up to 10 people: $650
Up to 20 people: $750
Up to 30 people: $850

*INGREDIENT KITS

HOW DO VIRTUAL CLASSES WORK?
All classes are hosted via Zoom, and we will provide the link (or we can join you on your preferred platform).
Your chef-instructor will have 2 camera angles spotlighted during the cooking class — 1 trained on their lovely face + 1 on their cutting board station + stovetop — so participants will be able to see everything they’re doing without having to switch views.
Guests will ask questions directly to the chef-instructor, and our classes are designed to be very interactive.
WHAT TO EXPECT
* PICK A DATE + TIME.
* CHOOSE a MENU and/or KIT.
* WE SEND YOU a ZOOM LINK * + DIGITAL SHOPPING LIST / RECIPE PACKET to share with guests; if shipping kits, we’ll also send you an ADDRESS TEMPLATE to collect that info. (* We can also use your preferred platform.)
* DAY OF: GET READY to COOK! Remind everyone to have all their ingredients and equipment out before class begins (as well as washing any vegetables, and hands too).
