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 usually offered on at least two separate occasions.
We firmly believe in the farm to plate concept so our cooking classes begin with a tour of the gardens and hoop houses 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.

If you must cancel a cooking class, we will refund the full amount or give you credit for another class up to one week before the class is scheduled. If you cancel up to 48 hours before the class, we will give you credit for another class within this upcoming year. If cancellation occurs less than 48 hours prior to class, credit can be given only if we are able to re-book your space in the class.
