Does this service sound expensive?

The cost per person for our in home experiences and classes goes down as the number of people in your class goes up. The most costly element of sending a professional chef into a home is the time it takes to grocery shop, prepare, and get to the home. To save money and to have a more lively experience, we recommend that you find a couple of friends or family members to share in your experience if the small class size cost is prohibitive.

While this may seem expensive at first glance, we are a very inexpensive option when you view our lessons in a real-world context because the education and memories we provide you will last a lifetime.

provide you will last a lifetime.
