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. We reserve the right to make menu alterations due to seasonal availability.
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 for in class use. 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 (650)685-3704 at least 5 business days before
the class to hold 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 we cannont fill your space from 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. For added flexibility,
you may purchase non-refundable 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.
Back
Do you offer teambuilding cooking classes or cooking parties?
Several times a week! Please contact Draeger's Cooking School at 650-685-3704
or email cookingschool@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. Children ages 12 and 13 are welcome to enroll in our regular classes,
at the full price of admission, accompanied by a paying adult. Children 14 and older may attend class unaccompanied by an adult.
