Questions before you book.
Do I need to be an experienced cook?
Share your experience and the techniques you want to learn. Scott can discuss a menu and pace that suit your group before you book.
How many people can join?
Group size is confirmed after reviewing the kitchen, equipment, menu and teaching format. Send the expected count with your inquiry rather than assuming every kitchen can hold the same class.
What should I have ready in my kitchen?
Scott confirms counter space, oven and stovetop access, cookware, ingredients and any special equipment during planning. Include any kitchen limitations or venue rules in the inquiry.
Can I request dietary changes?
Share all allergies and dietary needs before selecting a menu. Scott reviews ingredient suitability and any separate preparation before confirming an accommodation.
