Gourmandise Cooking School classes are held in commercial kitchens, and the school provides everything you need.  As a student in one of these classes, I can report that when they say “everything is provided,” this is an understatement, including a warm welcome when you arrive.  What is so wonderful about the classes

Classes are BYOB (bring-your-own-beverage) if you would like to bring your own beer or wine, as you sit down and enjoy what you have made.  Otherwise, the school provides water, coffee and tea.  Student are also asked that you “BYOC” (bring-your-own-container) if possible to take home any leftovers. Students are requested to arrive on time in comfortable attire and closed-toed shoes.
