Everything you need to know to be the best-educated grocery shopper and cook.
This valuable food education + grocery shopping workshop -- led by HCNY founder Jennifer Clair -- is designed to help home cooks make the best food choices in the grocery store, from the produce to the freezer aisle and everything in between.
You'll explore the meaning behind keywords like local, organic, grass-fed, pastured, GMO-free, certified humane, wild, low-fat, and extra-virgin to uncover the true story behind the foods we eat.
Take a peek at What is covered in this class
For NYC In-Person Classes:
You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).
Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.
We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.
For Public Classes:
We have a firm 3 business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.
Please note: Boot Camps require 6 business days notice to be rescheduled.
While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.
Classes are not refundable.
For Culinary Boot Camps:
Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
Thank you for understanding!
