What you'll learn in this grocery buying class:

Everything you need to know to be the best-educated grocery shopper and cook.

This valuable food education + grocery shopping workshop -- led by HCNY founder Jennifer Clair -- is designed to help home cooks make the best food choices in the grocery store, from the produce to the freezer aisle and everything in between.

You'll explore the meaning behind keywords like local, organic, grass-fed, pastured, GMO-free, certified humane, wild, low-fat, and extra-virgin to uncover the true story behind the foods we eat.

School Notes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to share at the sit-down meal (class (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

All classes are non-refundable.
We have a firm 48-hour cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to refill your seat with another student.
While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.
If you test positive or have been exposed to Covid, and it is less than 48 hours before your class, we will certainly work with you to find a future class for you to attend.
If you need to reschedule with less than 48 hours notice, please reach out directly to Home Cooking New York: [email protected]

For Culinary Boot Camps:

Boot camp registrations are not refundable, but are transferable to another boot camp if you give us more than 1 weeks’ notice if you need to change your start date.

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time:

1. Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or

2. Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

Thank you for understanding!

This class was very informative. It was a lot of information to take in for a two hour course. I wish it was a little bit longer or broken into two classes. I also would like to learn more about reading labels. Overall the class is well worth the money!

Reviewed by FAMIDA B. on 6/13/2019

The class was informative and touched on many areas I’m interested in and already familiar with. However, I did learn some things I did not know before. All in all, a great class to get someone started on their way to healthier eating and more home cooking.

Very informative course, do recommend if you want to learn more about food and best smart ways of buying it to benefit yourself.

Reviewed by Victoria Y. on 1/18/2018

Very intense class-at first no chance to ask questions, but eventually there was Q&A, which was great!
