Eat, Cook, Bond.
The Garden Kitchen private classes are the perfect blend of delicious food and fun interaction for a family gathering, a celebration with your friends, or the perfect way to encourage your group to work more seamlessly as a team.
The type of cuisine varies, but these classes all share a common mission: to empower everyone to feel more comfortable in the kitchen, encourage communication, and provide activities that unite your group. You will interact with just your group during your class and have the full attention of one of our knowledgeable instructors. So let’s get cooking!
We have two different class formats to choose from:
Demonstration: Designed as an observation class, participants watch while instructor explain and show recipe preparation and cooking techniques. Class is limited to a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 20 people.
Hands On: These are full participation classes. Students take part in practicing techniques and preparing the menu items. Hands-on classes are limited to a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 20 people. The knife skills class is limited to a minimum of 8 and maximum of 12 people.
