​

Set aside expectations you have of a typical cooking class, where your team makes pre-planned recipes as part of a conventional meal. In the Chefs for a Day class, your team comes together to problem-solve, collaborate, and strategize its way to cooking an original meal for all to enjoy.

​

The Chefs class is a chance for you and your group to work as the most effective and creative chefs do, in flexible, lean teams that quickly generate and test tangible ideas.

​

​

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

​

Your group arrives at our beautiful kitchen loft, housed an artists’ converted warehouse near the waterfront in Sunset Park.

​

You might choose to have nibbles and wine while we talk through our aspirations for the class and introduce you to the ingredients at hand.

​

​

Rather than a gimmicky basket of “surprise” ingredients, we set out a full slate of prepared items you and your teammates will use to jump-start making different things to eat.

​

Three hours later, your team will usher in a delicious collection of original dishes, which you'll sit down to marvel at and enjoy.
