Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this food tours class:

Learn what is most important to fill your shopping bags with and why (one secret: fresh eggs...vastly superior to the supermarket variety and she'll explain the difference).

If you have ever felt overwhelmed at the farmers' market by all the choices and unfamiliar produce and products, this is the class for you. Let Chef-Instructor Jennifer Clair guide you through the farm stalls of the Union Square Greenmarket and help demystify what is available.

With only a loose menu in mind, Jennifer will encourage the students to select the ingredients they want to cook with and then the group heads back to our cooking school at 236 West 26th Street (Studio 601) to cook a huge seasonal feast to enjoy together.

A Rough Menu:
  • Wild Salmon with A Seasonal Vegetable Relish (if you don't eat salmon, we can substitute another protein)
  • A Green Vegetable Side Dish
  • Seasonal Fruit Crisp 
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!

  • Summer Farmer's Market Tour and Class

    Reviewed by Brigitte Green on 10/17/2013
    It was informative and I don't regret doing it. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon; however, it wasn't quite worth the money. We didn't really cook as much as I thought we would, mostly prep work. The money spent on the the food wasn't much considering the price of the class. It was basically the same amount we paid for the class and looking around at the 10 people there it felt very low if you took two seconds to do the math and figure out what she was making off of us. On top of that, she brought her mom, her daughter and her brother who we also fed with the money we paid to attend the class / budget put aside to spend on food at the market. They were lovely people but it felt a little excessive. The teacher was also a bit aggressive. It made me uncomfortable towards the end. I probably would never take a class she taught again just based on her method of teaching. I will say I thought it was organized relatively well.
