Common Questions
The more the merrier! And yes, you're welcome to just watch. In our In The Kitchen with Chef series, our chefs welcome you to their kitchen where you join just by observing and asking questions. Consider it interactive TV. Our chefs bring you into their kitchen, just like a chef's table at a restaurant. If you'd like to join our fully interactive Small Group Cooking Classes, you can also just watch, but those are more fun when you get to cook along.
What if I'd just like to watch a class?
No membership fees in this club! Your first ticket gets you access to The Chef & The Dish Cooking Club. So, why is it a club? Great question. Once you purchase your first ticket to either a Small Group Cooking Class, In The Kitchen with Chef, or join a class as part of The Producer's Series, you will get access to special Member's Only Events and offers. These events and special offers will be emailed to you and you can choose to participate if you'd like!
Do I have to pay to join the Cooking Club
Every class with The Chef & The Dish undergoes a strict Certified Testing process. Our classes are built using ingredients easily sourced everywhere, so whether you're in San Francisco or the South of France, you'll be able to find ingredients or chef approved substitutes.
Are the ingredients in your classes easy to find?
