School Notes:

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.

Refund Policy

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 anyone who misses a single class, no matter the reason, as it happens too often and we cannot handle that volume of make-ups.  Once you book your boot camp, make sure to mark (and prioritize) all the dates in your calendar. 

 Because we know how disappointing it is to miss a class, you are always welcome to send a friend in your place (just send us their name ahead of class), and perhaps insist that they cook you dinner as repayment.  

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!

  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    Good course for someone who a] knows jack or b] knows SOME but would like to know MORE. Very clean functional studio. Knowledgeable & sociable instructor who kept close eyes on everyone. Was a good time : ]

    The class was fun, and I feel a lot more confident cooking now! The class went over simple (but delicious) ways to prepare a variety of different meats and vegetables, and I finally feel like I understand how the different ingredients in a recipe can contribute to the flavor of the dish. You also get to try out all the different techniques involved in each of the meals. I'd recommend this class to anyone who is new to cooking or even just wants more confidence and practice in preparing simple meals.
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    Great background on the different meats and vegetables and food preparation. Excellent hands on. Serious, but good sense of humor.

    The class overall was nice, but it was just way too easy for me, and I am not an experienced cook at all. A very basic stuff that a child would be able to do. Also, I wish there were more hands-on experience then just peeling potatoes and garlic. Most of the time we were watching the chef cooking. Otherwise, I would really recommend the class to someone who is completely new to cooking. A lot of things to learn.
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    I came into the class heating up frozen dinners most nights, with one or two recipes I could do, and having never cooked meat. I have now cooked 3 full, delicious meals for friends and family using what I learned in class (meals that included meat!), and regularly cook simpler things for myself for dinners. I still love frozen chicken nuggets, but I also love being able to provide meals for myself and my family. Thank you John and Home Cooking NY!
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    This class was incredible. I learned a ton and it made cooking less intimidating. I am now a more intelligent purchaser of food and cook. I take more pride in cooking a meal for my friends then going to a restaurant. Chef John really emphasizes the fun of cooking and ensures we understand all the techniques. Take this class. Highly recommended.
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    Thoroughly enjoyed this class! Learned so much and consumed excellent food that I hope to make again at home. John was very knowledgeable, and I appreciate how patient he was with all of my questions. Would recommend this class to any/everyone.
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    John presented an excellent class. I was weak on knife skills and technique and in four short classes I felt much more confident and competent. I enjoyed the class so much I am already signed up for an advanced class. I highly recommend Cooking NY
  • Culinary Boot Camp for Everyone

    Class was great! My dad, who I bought the class for, is a much more experienced cook and he took so much out of it. I felt like I learned so many techniques so I'm not intimidated in the kitchen. John was a great teacher.

    Chef John conducted the course professionally. Chef John was very informative and also gave other ideas that the student can substitute items according to their own palate. I've learn so much in this class that I've already signed up for part 2 and so looking forward to learn more !!! I definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn cooking.
