Cooking Class Information

Seating in our classes is on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend early arrival if you would like group seating. Doors open 30 minutes prior to start of class.

Most classes are demonstration-style and last 2 to 3 hours unless otherwise noted. Printed recipes will be provided.

A tasting of the dishes demonstrated in class will be served.

A portion of the cooking class fee includes nonalcoholic beverages and up to two glasses of wine (for students over 21 years of age). Alcohol may not be brought in from anywhere outside of the classroom.

Teachers reserve the right to alter menus due to seasonal availability of ingredients.

In Hands-On classes, we encourage long pants and close-toed/rubber-soled shoes. Aprons, knives and utensils are provided for in-class use.

Draeger's reserves the right to cancel any class due to insufficient enrollment. If a class is canceled, we will contact you by phone and transfer your fee to another class of your choice or refund your fee.

The classroom is air-conditioned in order to keep both the instructor and the audience comfortable. The temperature may vary during the course of a class. We suggest you bring a sweater or wrap.
