Question 2

What if I've never cooked before?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What if I've been cooking for many years?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What if I have allergies or food restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Please Contact Us at least 48 hours before the date of your class in order to have accommodations made. Please choose a class that adheres closer to your allergies (such as, if you are allergic to gluten, please don’t sign up for a Pasta or Pizza class). Last-minute requests are not able to be accommodated.

Question 5

Can I take food home?

Can I bring alcohol with me to class?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are welcome to bring wine or beer to enjoy responsibly with your meal. We will provide you with glassware and tools to open adult beverages. If you do not have a designated driver, please plan on taking an LYFT or UBER. A variety of N/A beverages are provided for you.
