“Chef Laura was a great teacher- knowledgeable, well organized, and enthusiastic. We left her class feeling more confident in our cooking, and now have new meals to add to our repertoire!”
Can I just drop in for one or two sessions?
We recommend taking the entire course because we are building a community of confident cooks and the content builds from session to session. However, you can drop in for a single or a few of the 4 sessions. Just purchase a single virtual cooking class ticket for each session you want to attend and let me know which one session(s). A single session is $33. The entire course is $110. You save $22 when you enroll in the whole course.
“Chef Laura is wonderful! You can tell she has a background as a teacher as she is excellent at explaining all of the steps and what goes into a dish. She has helped me become a confident cook and I am able to throw meals together using what I have on hand. I cannot recommend her classes enough!”
