Our hands–on Vermont cooking classes are offered throughout the year and are a huge hit. Work directly with Chef-Owner Douglas Mack, assisted by Chef Leah Pryor, in a small, intimate group and learn the secrets of the culinary trade from a Slow Food perspective. Prepare seasonal dishes using high quality ingredients, then dine with the Chefs as you enjoy a delicious, class-prepared meal with wine. Due to their popularity, each 3 1/2 hour Vermont cooking class is offered on at least two separate occasions.
In the spring, summer and fall, and often even throughout the winter, our cooking class begins with a tour of the gardens at Baldwin Creek. With Chef Mack as our guide, we survey the day's harvest and pick herbs and vegetables to use during the cooking class. All of our cooking classes include hands-on instruction, a recipe booklet and finish with a class
prepared meal with wine.
Unless otherwise noted, classes run from 12:30 to 4:00 and the cost is $75 per person. Two students booking the same cooking class at the same time: $140.
Class size is limited to 14, so early reservations are encouraged. Your credit card is processed for your cooking class at time of reservation. Call to check availability for your class. You may book on-line or via phone: 888-424-2432. Gift certificates are available for any of our cooking classes. They are the perfect gift for all of your "foodie" friends.
We hope you’ll join us in one or more of our exciting Vermont cooking classes. With our hands-on approach you have the benefit of learning by doing. Doug’s goal is for you to be able to re-create at home what you learn here. We encourage you to sign up early so that you have your choice of classes. And if you have eight or more friends who like to cook, inquire about a custom Vermont cooking class designed to fit your interests and schedules.
Note: You are welcome to bring with you your favorite knife and apron to use during the class. We also have knives and aprons for sale at the cooking classes. Our logo embroidered chef’s aprons are $12 each.
