School Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: If you are registered for a “VIRTUAL” class, you can disregard the information below.

FOR NYC CLASSES:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.

Classes are not refundable.

For Culinary Boot Camps:

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time.

  • Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or
  • Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!

    The class was fun, and I feel a lot more confident cooking now! The class went over simple (but delicious) ways to prepare a variety of different meats and vegetables, and I finally feel like I understand how the different ingredients in a recipe can contribute to the flavor of the dish. You also get to try out all the different techniques involved in each of the meals. I'd recommend this class to anyone who is new to cooking or even just wants more confidence and practice in preparing simple meals.

    Great background on the different meats and vegetables and food preparation. Excellent hands on. Serious, but good sense of humor.

    Anonymous review on 5/26/2017
    The class overall was nice, but it was just way too easy for me, and I am not an experienced cook at all. A very basic stuff that a child would be able to do. Also, I wish there were more hands-on experience then just peeling potatoes and garlic. Most of the time we were watching the chef cooking. Otherwise, I would really recommend the class to someone who is completely new to cooking. A lot of things to learn.

    I came into the class heating up frozen dinners most nights, with one or two recipes I could do, and having never cooked meat. I have now cooked 3 full, delicious meals for friends and family using what I learned in class (meals that included meat!), and regularly cook simpler things for myself for dinners. I still love frozen chicken nuggets, but I also love being able to provide meals for myself and my family. Thank you John and Home Cooking NY!

    This class was incredible. I learned a ton and it made cooking less intimidating. I am now a more intelligent purchaser of food and cook. I take more pride in cooking a meal for my friends then going to a restaurant. Chef John really emphasizes the fun of cooking and ensures we understand all the techniques. Take this class. Highly recommended.

    John presented an excellent class. I was weak on knife skills and technique and in four short classes I felt much more confident and competent. I enjoyed the class so much I am already signed up for an advanced class. I highly recommend Cooking NY

    Class was great! My dad, who I bought the class for, is a much more experienced cook and he took so much out of it. I felt like I learned so many techniques so I'm not intimidated in the kitchen. John was a great teacher.

    Chef John conducted the course professionally. Chef John was very informative and also gave other ideas that the student can substitute items according to their own palate. I've learn so much in this class that I've already signed up for part 2 and so looking forward to learn more !!! I definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn cooking.
