What is the difference between demo and hands-on?
Taking a demonstration class is akin to being at the chef’s table, where you watch the chef cook and get a taste of everything on the menu. In hands-on classes, you put on an apron, are divided into groups and each group prepares a part of the menu. (back)

Do they feed us in class?
You will enjoy a tasting portion of each dish prepared in class. However, the first dish may not be served until 45 minutes or more after class begins. (back)

How long will the class last?
Demonstration classes generally last about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Hands-on classes generally take about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. If a class wavers significantly from this time frame, such as Lunch 101, it will be noted in the class description.(back)

Is there reserved seating?
Seating is first-come, first-served. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of class.(back)

What should I bring to class?
In hands-on classes, please wear long pants and closed-toed, rubber-soled shoes. We will provide aprons, knives and other equipment. In a demonstration class, you may wish to bring a sweater, since the room is air conditioned to offset the heat from cooking.(back)

Are beverages served during class?
We offer complimentary water, sparkling water, sodas and wine. Two glasses of wine are poured to students 21 and older. Alcohol may not be brought in from outside of the classroom.(back)

Do I have to register in advance or can I just show up?
Please register in advance. We have to place orders in advance for ingredients. In addition, if there are not enough students registered for a class, we may have to cancel the class.(back)

What if I can’t attend a class?
Please call the cooking school office at least 5 business days before the class for credit to reschedule and 10 business days before the class to receive a full refund. If you need to cancel fewer than 5 business days before the class and the class does not have a wait list, it will be too late to reschedule for another class, though you may send a friend to attend class in your place. If your unpredictable schedule prevents you from canceling with more than a week’s notice, you may wish to consider purchasing insurance for $5.00 per seat. Insurance gives you flexibility to cancel at any time and reschedule for a future class.(back)

What happens if my class is cancelled?
When a class is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, we will issue you a full refund in kind or transfer your credit to another class, your choice.(back)

How do I give someone a class as a gift?
We recommend purchasing a Draeger’s gift card and giving the recipient a cooking class catalog along with it. This allows the recipient the flexibility of choosing the class they want. Any leftover funds can be used for anything in the store, from gourmet groceries to cookbooks to dinner at Viognier restaurant, located inside our San Mateo store. Classes cost $50 to $75 per class on average.(back)

Do you offer teambuilding cooking classes or cooking parties?
Several times a week! Please contact Cynthia Liu at (650) 685-3724 or email cliu@draegers.com(back)

Are there any discounts?
For every 10 classes an individual takes, the 11th one is $50 off. Choose any five BASICS classes and receive $50 off your total registration fee. If you register for two Lunch 101 classes, save $5 off the total. If you register for three or more Lunch 101 classes, take $10 off the total. (back)

What is the minimum age to attend a class?
We offer classes for children of various ages under 12—see Draeger’s Junior Chefs’ Club. Children ages 12 and 13 are welcome to enroll in our regular classes, accompanied by a paying adult. Children 14 and older may attend class unaccompanied by an adult.(back)

How do I print pages of this site if I didn't receive the printed catalog?
We now have a link to PDF's of the catalog (click here) so you can download the files to print pages at your convenience.
