Weekday class minimum for two people is $200.00 and $100.00 for each additional person up to 4 people. This includes dining in. These classes take about 3 hours. Contact Deb regrading special pricing for more than 4 people.
If you are taking these classes alone, and do not wish to dine in, the pricing is based upon time and ingredients. Most classes take 2-2.5 hours depending on the menu. (I have a two hour minimum) Pricing is $50.00 per hour plus the cost of ingredients for you to take your meal home. If you elect to dine here the weekday minimum of $200.00 would apply.
