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 Daytime classes are for ages 15+ and our classes after 6pm are for ages 18+. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Check out our Parent and Me classes for ages 8-17. For safety purposes, kids under the age of 8 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.
