Frequently Asked Questions
Private Cooking Classes
Why a virtual private cooking class?
A private cooking class is great for any occasion (including no occasion)! It can be an opportunity for you as a home cook to learn new skills and recipes. Or, it could be a special date night, family activity, or experiential gift. (A cooking class is an awesome gift!)
I’ve also done classes for musical ensembles, conservatory programs, pre-wedding parties, birthdays, and more. I’ve covered it all, and promise you’ll have a blast! Book a free intro chat to learn more.
How long are private classes?
Private classes are usually 90 minutes, but may run slightly longer or shorter depending on the context and the recipes chosen.
How does the grocery shopping work?
I will send you a customized, printable PDF packet 5 business days before class which includes all of your recipes, a shopping list, any kitchen tools you’ll need, and private Zoom link. This packet makes shopping a breeze and is yours to keep!
What are the menu options?
Before your class, we’ll meet for a brief call to put together a menu where you can mix and match a variety of dishes from a collection of over 50 recipes.
My recipes are very flexible and can be customized to fit most tastes and dietary needs!
Depending on the lead time before your class, I can also create a fully custom menu (develop brand new recipes) for an additional fee.
How long do I have to use my class after purchasing?
You can schedule your class to take place on any date within one year of purchase or gifting.
If you’re not using your class for a special occasion, I recommend scheduling for a day when you know you won’t be in a rush and can be fully present.
Is a private cooking class for me?
If you’re looking to have a fun and educational experience in the kitchen that has been designed just for you, then absolutely yes. I promise you’ll come away from the class with new recipes, new techniques, and kitchen hacks for days (years, even!).
I’m not a musician. Can I sign up?
Of course! While my services are usually geared toward musicians, my cooking classes will benefit anyone who wants to have fun cooking and learn how to do it more efficiently. Plus, my recipes are delicious and repeatable, no matter who you are!
What if I need to reschedule?
If you need to reschedule a private class, I ask that you give notice at least 5 business days before your class is scheduled to take place. Requests that are made within 5 business days of class may be subject to a $100 rescheduling fee. All sales for private classes are final.
What’s included in a private cooking class?
All private classes include:
• One Menu Selection Call
• 2 Hours of Zoom Instruction
• 1-3 Recipes (Total Will Vary Based on Items & Complexity)

Recipes, Photos, A Shopping List, & Recommended Tools

In 2023, my rate for prix-fixe classes of 6 people or fewer is $375 per class.
Rates for large groups, corporate events, or classes with fully custom menus are determined on an individual basis.
Live Public Classes
Are you still teaching live public classes?
As of December 2022, I am no longer teaching live public classes.
Private classes are currently the only way to take a live cooking class with me.
However, you can still purchase previous public classes on demand here to try a class on your own time,
or schedule a FREE 30 minute call if you want to learn more about my private classes!
