We offer classes seven days a week, although we typically offer more classes on the weekends, school breaks/holidays and after school. Don’t see a class that matches your schedule? Contact us to schedule a private class at a time that works well for you and your friends.
-
We divide our classes into age groups in order to keep the instruction engaging and age-appropriate. Older kids are welcome to join siblings in a class for younger ages but younger children may not join siblings in a class for older ages.
-
Absolutely! Budding chefs are encouraged to try everything they create. Sometimes a food is new to a child so we encourage them to try at least one bite but take a casual approach to ensure all palates feel comfortable in our Kitchen.
-
All of our menus are nut-free. We do our best to offer a wide variety of menus that cater to different dietary needs and restrictions from vegetarian to gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and vegan. If you select an allergy-free menu, it is important to note that while the recipes are free of those ingredients, we are not an allergy-free facility for these ingredients. Recipes are cooked at group tables, and for your safety individual adjustments cannot be made. Please contact your local Kitchen if you have any questions.
If an individual participant has an allergy that would prevent them from enjoying what you’ve prepared, they have the option to bring in an individual portion of a nut-free outside food for their enjoyment. For example, a frosted cupcake or room-temp gluten-free pasta dish. The outside food cannot require heat or preparation and TBK will not serve this food to the client.
-
Bring a water bottle labeled with your child’s first and last name. We prefer close-toed shoes and long hair pulled back in our Kitchen. We will have aprons for participants to wear, so just bring your smiling face and a willingness to delve into all things tasty!
