Class Description

Description

This class will offers you a valuable set of culinary techniques to move you along in your kitchen education.

  • Knife Skills 101

  • Cooking Meat to Perfection (Pan-Roasted Chicken or Steak)
  • Making Flavorful Pan Sauces (Classic Chicken Gravy or Red-Wine Reduction Sauce)
  • Roasting Vegetables (Roasted Seasonal Vegetables)

COOKBOOK COMPANION: Back when we used to teach this class in-person at our school, it used to cover 6 techniques (including knife skills and leafy greens 101), and it was our most popular class (we refer to it as our "golden class"). So, in 2018, we created the cookbook companion to the class. It expands on everything you'll learn, with 30 more recipes to practice your newly acquired skills. Take a peek: Six Basic Cooking Techniques: Culinary Essentials for the Home Cook. If you want to grab a copy before your class, you will not be sorry. We wrote it with our students in mind, and it is an excellent guide to have at your fingertips for a lifetime of cooking.

HOW THESE VIRTUAL CLASSES WORK:

  1. After registering, you will be sent a link to log into the class at the appointed date/time.
  2. Two days before the class you will be sent a copy of the recipes we'll be making, so you can cook them again after the class.
  3. Classes are 90 minutes and will have a maximum of 10 households attending each session.
  4. If you want to cook alongside friends or family, please invite them to join you, using the link below.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

School Notes:

For NYC In-Person Classes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm 3 business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require 6 business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen. Classes are not refundable.

 For Culinary Boot Camps:
 

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to anyone who misses a single class, no matter the reason, as it happens too often and we cannot handle that volume of make-ups.  Once you book your boot camp, make sure to mark (and prioritize) all the dates in your calendar. 

 Because we know how disappointing it is to miss a class, you are always welcome to send a friend in your place (just send us their name ahead of class), and perhaps insist that they cook you dinner as repayment.  

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

 Thank you for understanding!
