Treat your friend/valentine/partner/significant other (we don't care how you know each other!) to an evening of fun in our kitchen. Registration is for two people.
Celebrate local flavors while you learn to make these traditional Maryland Favorites. Try your hand at Crab Cakes, Chicken Maryland (pan seared chicken with a creamy gravy, garnished with bacon and bananas - a historic dish!), Chesapeake Cole Slaw, and a tangy Cocktail Sauce. Finish off your meal with our special recipe of Baltimore’s Favorite Cookies, the well-known cakey cookie topped with a rich layer of chocolate. This class ends right on time for a nice sit down meal where you can savor your creations.
Menu-based classes are collaborative, with students sharing in the preparation of the menu. Class finishes with a sit-down meal.

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.
