THE DETAILS
A hands-on cooking party provides a fun way to spend time with your work colleagues, friends, or family.
Our top-notch chef-instructors are engaging and upbeat, so you can expect your guests to learn some new kitchen tricks, while also enjoying each others’ company throughout the cooking activity.
Each 3-hour event includes a hands-on cooking class + plenty of time to sit down and enjoy your meal together.
Here is exactly what to expect.
