About

The Burmese nation of Myanmar is made up of over 100 different ethnic groups and shares borders with India, Bangladesh, China, Laos, and Thailand. The traditional cuisine of the region reflects this diversity with culinary influences from each of these neighbors. From soups to curries to noodle dishes, join us in exploring these flavors. Recipes in this class include: Bagan Style Cauliflower and Tomato, Hard Cooked Eggs, Mohinga, Pickled Mustard Greens, Semolina Cake, Shan Noodles, Tamarind Salt, and Yellow Split Pea Crackers.

Menu-based classes are collaborative, with students sharing in the preparation of the menu. Class finishes with a sit-down meal.

Terms and Conditions

How to Reschedule If you need to reschedule for any reason, please notify us either by phone at (443) 869-5121 or by email at kitchen@baltimorechefshop.com.

  • Because space is so limited, we require 48-hours notice for any changes.
  • Cancelling or rescheduling your booking within the 48-hour timeframe will result in a forfeiture of your credit.
  • If you find yourself unable to attend your class and the 48-hour deadline has already passed, we encourage you to send a friend in your place.

Non-Refund Policy Please note that, due to limited space, we have a strict no refunds policy. This includes any client cancellations due to COVID or any other illness. Unfortunately, COVID has become a part of daily life for everyone. We trust that all clients who book with us are aware of the potential that they may need to cancel their reservation due to their own illness or due to exposure to someone with COVID and have weighed that possibility prior to signing up for their non-refundable class.

Drinks We are a BYOB kitchen. Water with citrus is provided for all classes and you are welcome to bring an alternative beverage to enjoy with your meal. Please be advised that we are not able to allow spirits and hard liquor in the kitchen.

Kitchen Attire All equipment, ingredients, and aprons are provided by us. As a safety consideration, we ask that you wear close-toed shoes. It's advisable to pull back long hair and to avoid wearing dangling jewelry.

Age Restrictions Standard classes are for ages 18 and above and Parent and Me classes are designed for minors ages 8-17. For safety purposes, kids age 7 and under are not permitted in the kitchens.

Allergies As our menu-based classes are collaborative, altering the recipe for a particular aversion or allergy means that the other clients are not able to enjoy the dish as it is meant to be prepared. Since this is meant to be a fun learning environment, we strongly suggest that you select a menu that accommodates your particular allergies.

Please be advised that, in the case of severe nut or gluten allergies, we are not a nut-free nor gluten-free kitchen and cross contamination from other classes cannot be safely avoided.
