School Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: If you are registered for a “VIRTUAL” class, you can disregard the information below.

FOR NYC CLASSES:

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 enjoy at the sit-down meal (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:

We have a firm business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require business days notice to be rescheduled.

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.

Classes are not refundable.

For Culinary Boot Camps:

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.

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

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!

    My husband and I signed up for a class from course horse a few months back which was totally fabulous. We were taught how to make a delicious duck breast and we used the skin to make a delicious topping for salad and more.., my husband couldn’t get enough of them and repeatedly stole a few pieces from the dish each time he passed it. The instructor was very informative and it was a very interesting experience for both of us. If I would be able to change something.., I would ask the instructor to be more hands on when it came to preparation. I understand fully why it’s not possible to be hands on completely during the class and that is because there us simply not enough time. The instructor did hours of preparation prior to the class and if we were to do all the prep work..(cutting the skins off the duck) … the class would need to be 5-6 hours long. Honestly, I would not mind a 5 hour long class on a Sunday for example where we would be more hands on .., of course the class would need to cost significantly more.., but I believe that for this particular duck class.., it’s worth it.., we made a lot of food and it was amazing.

    We really enjoyed the class but wish there was a little more hands-on cooking. Otherwise, chef was skilled and fun and he taught us how to make delicious duck. I would take a class with him again if we were able to prepare more of the dishes.

    Love Chef John. Always lots to learn from him. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and I went home filled to the brim. Other than making the duck, I'm really excited to start making my own vinaigrette and cherry reduction sauce. Would recommend this class to anyone who LOVES duck as much as our group did!
