Important Information

Group and Team Building Classes

  • Classes take place at your home or your venue/event/company site.

  • I do not have a dedicated location at the moment for hosting large group classes. However, I can suggest options for rental venues for your group or team-building class.

  • Rental fees + cleaning fees will be applied on top of my chef’s rate according to the venue’s policy. (The average price around the Bay Area for rentals is $150/hour with a 4-hour minimum booking time. Rates vary per event space and day of the week)

Classes hosted in Your Home

  • For classes taking place in your home, please make sure you have a working stove and oven, several mixing bowls plus all sizes of bowls (the more the better), and at least two of each: pots, pans, baking sheets, and baking dishes.

  • All meals will be served on your available dinnerware.

  • I do not provide or shop for alcohol. Please feel free to bring your own.

  • After the class, I will help make 1 load of dishes to the dishwasher, and the rest will be stacked prepped for you to load later.

Cooking Class hosted in my home

  • For an intimate class of up to 4 people, I can host your private class in my apartment in downtown Burlingame.

  • I also provide beautiful dinnerware and elegant table settings to enjoy all the meals after we are done cooking.

  • I do not serve alcohol in my home nor do I provide one.

  • Please inquire about availability.
