Classes
$60 per person. That covers two hours of hands-on instruction, all your ingredients and the meal you cook. Most nights there are leftovers to take home.

Scheduled classes run 6–8pm: Italian pasta making on Wednesdays, Asian sushi on Thursdays and a classic French night once a month. See the schedule.
