Yes, You Get To Eat! FAQs and Information About Richmond Cooking Classes

Do we get to eat?!

Yes, students generally either eat what they cook in class or are able to take what they make home. Keep in mind that you will probably be eating near the conclusion of class and that what you eat will depend on the specific type of class you take. Classes that focus on baking will generally focus on making one item in a series of different ways, whereas classes offered at dinner times will generally be designed as balanced meals that go well together.

What should I bring to class and what should I wear?

Closed-toed shoes are required. Please wear comfortable shoes, as you will be standing for the majority of the class. Aprons are provided for each student. You are also welcome to bring water bottles.

What is provided?

Coffee, tea, and water are provided complementary. Wine and Beer (for the 21+ crowd) are available for purchase and responsible consumption during most classes. You will also get recipes or guides to the recipes to take home with you after class.

How long are classes?

Classes are 2-2.5 hours long, unless otherwise noted.

Do you offer programming for children?

We do not offer specific programming for children at this time. However, we welcome students who are 14 years old and above in our classes. A paying adult must accompany anyone 17 and under.

How large are classes?

Our hands-on classes are limited to 16 students and those attending will work in groups of up to 4 people. Other classes and events may be larger.

What if I have allergies?

Please let us know ahead of time (when registering) if you have any food allergies and we will do our best to accommodate.

What if I am vegetarian, vegan, or have other food restrictions?

Please let us know when you register if you are vegetarian, pescetarian, vegan, or have other food restrictions. We will do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions, and can provide advice on the best class topics to sign up for if you email us at info@thekitchenclassroom.com.

Do you do private lessons?

Our space is available for private lessons, events, and collaborations including, but not limited to, corporate team building, private family events, and food and beverage industry events. Please email info@thekitchenclassroom.com for more details.

Do you sharpen knives?

We sharpen most non-serrated knives. We offer a drop-off/pick-up service and most knives will be ready for pick-up 1-2 days after drop off. We also offer loaner knife kits for you to use while we sharpen your knives!

How much do classes cost?

Our classes start at $59 and vary by topic, class length, and cost of food being prepared.

What if I need to cancel?

We offer a full refund for classes canceled at least 72 hours in advance. If you are unable to attend with only 72-24 hours notice, we will gladly reschedule you for a future class of equal or lesser cost. No refunds will be offered on classes that have been rescheduled. If you have to cancel with less than 24 hours notice, we will offer a coupon for 50% of the class cost to be used at a future date.

Should I tip the instructor?

You can show your appreciation in the form of a Google or social media review, and referring friends to the Kitchen Classroom!
