FAQ

• What if I booked and paid but had to change or cancel my class?

  All Classes are non-refundable. I need at least 72 hour notice before the start of your class to reschedule for a later date. If I do not receive 72 hour notice to reschedule for another date unfortunately I cannot guarantee that I will be able to honor that change. I will do my best to accommodate however there is a possibility that perishable ingredients for your class may have already been purchased. Please note: if approved for rescheduling you have up to 60 days to reschedule a new date for your class.

• Does the pricing change based on the location of the class?

  Additional transportation fees apply if outside of Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan

• Are there any other fees besides the class fees and additional transportation fee?

  For some classes there are higher priced ingredients that are purchased at market value and therefore an additional fee may apply. If your class includes a wine pairing an additional fee will also apply.

• Can I change the location of my booked event?

  Yes. Please give 48 hr notice.

• Can I make other changes to my booked event?

  Yes, up to 48 hours before event. Type of changes include the time of the event (can be adjusted ~2 hours of the scheduled start time), specific dietary needs/restrictions, food allergies, or a need to increase group size(max 12 ppl depending on demonstration space). Please contact me as soon as possible if changes need to be made.

• What if a booked & paid guest cancels last minute?

  I know last minute conflicts occur however the cooking classes are non-refundable. Please consider sending someone else in that guest’s place to attend the class.

• What if I am interested in hosting a class in my home and having the whole party catered on the same day?

  Yes, it can be discussed. Please email me directly.

• What if I don’t see the class that I’m interested in?

  I am more than happy to accommodate and help you reach your culinary goals. Please email me with any questions.

• Do I receive a copy of the food prepared in the class?

  Yes, you will receive a printed copy upon arrival. Feel free to take notes! *Recipes can be emailed upon request.

  The time can vary with different themes and menus. Typically classes are 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

• What if my refrigerator is small and unavailable?

  No problem, please let the chef know prior to your event so we can adjust accordingly.

• What if I think my kitchen is too small?

  That shouldn’t be a problem at all. We can discuss. As a catering event chef I’ve worked in the tiniest spaces even when there was no kitchen I created one.

• Are all the classes in a private home?

  Yes, it will always be in the comfort of your home, using the host’s kitchen or a "mock" kitchen which the chef will design in collaboration with the host if needed.

• Is edibly speaking for me?

  Our culinary demos and classes are good for cooks of all levels including those with no experience. I can help refine your current cooking techniques and increase your versatility all while you socially bond with family, friends or co-workers.
