Do you have vegan/vegetarian dishes available?

Yes – When there is a mixed class, we will cook vegan/vegetarian dishes separately. Please advise us of your food preferences when you book the course. There are many dishes that can become vegan/vegetarian by replacing meat or fish with soy products. Please let us know your preference on alternative ingredients so we can prepare for your dietary requirements.

Will I eat the food I make in a class?

Yes, you will eat all the dishes that you make at the end of the class. If you prefer taking the food you prepared home rather than eat it at the venue, we can provide a take away box for you. Please be aware that we suggest you put the meal in the refrigerator and consume it within a day.

Are the classes interactive or solely observational?

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, you can expect to actively participate and practice cooking during these classes.

What should I wear or bring with me to the class?

Please wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed shoes. Aprons, all kitchen tools, and ingredients will be provided for the cooking classes. You can also bring your own apron if you wish.

Can I arrange a class as a present for someone else?

Yes, you can book either an individual space in a group session or a private lesson. Feel free to contact us for availability. Please note that if you book a scheduled class on their behalf, we will be unable to change the date or refund you if the recipient of your gift cannot make it. Please check our Terms and Conditions before you book. We would also recommend that you purchase one of our gift vouchers instead. This way the recipients can choose the preferred date and class from our range of classes. The vouchers are valid for 12 months after purchase.

What's your cancellation policy?

Bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable, to a different class date, so please make sure you can attend the class before you book. Alternatively, you may ask a friend or family member to replace you. Please kindly inform us of any replacements. Please read our full Terms and Conditions here.
