Culinary Learning Center Classes

About Our Classes

The best recipes are one part dedication to craft and one part imagination, with maybe just a sprinkle of luck to give it spice. We like to think of classes the same way.

Our Learning Center Classes are hands-on experiences in a friendly atmosphere, where questions, curiosity, and a sense of adventure is encouraged. A true 180 from the traditional lecturer-student format, we foster a collaborative experience where everyone is an instructor, teaching one another.

Class sign-ups are available online. You may also stop by or call one of our member service desks for help.

There is plenty of food served in each class, but depending on what type of class it is will determine when we eat. If you are hungry and it will be a while before we eat, you are always welcome to bring a small snack. Water and soda water are provided at each class. Classes offering alcohol are identified as such.

Children ages 13 and over are considered participants of the class and are charged at full price. Children 12 and under can join a class with a parent already registered for a class for a reduced cost. To register a child please contact the service desk or send an email to classes@coopfoodstore.com for assistance. Registration is subject to space limitations.

No, we have discontinued this program. We do love it when kids want to learn to cook so welcome them to attend with a parent to one of our regularly scheduled cooking classes.

Yes. You will receive a full refund when the Co-op has to cancel a class, or if you cancel your registration with the Service Desk staff at least two full days in advance. However, please let us know if you cannot make it to class, we do offer issue partial refunds if we receive notice.

For DEMO classes, we will sit one per table, or you may purchase a double ticket and share the table with your guest (each participant will receive all materials and full servings of food).

For HANDS-ON classes, instead of group cooking and family style eating, participants will now have their own stations, utensils, equipment, and ingredients. You may bring a guest to share your table. You will be provided additional ingredients to share and prepare with your guest. Member and Non-member plus guest ticket pricing is marked in ( ).
