Anne’s hands-on cooking classes and parties date back to 2011. Meeting budding chefs where they are and a sense of ease, fun and exploration is at the heart of the Taste Buds experience. We scaffold children so that they may safely engage at their own pace, in their own way. We work closely with grownups to design classes culinary dreams are made of. Let's spark that curiosity!

Cancellation and Change Policy: Once booked, classes are non-refundable but can be rescheduled with a week’s advance notice. We are unable to provide credit if you have fewer guests than planned. If you need to add guests after the final headcount has been submitted, please contact us right away.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS (IN-PERSON CLASSES):

Equipment: We will reach out to review the cooking equipment needed for your menu and discuss what is available in your kitchen. We can send specialized tools, such as tortilla presses or pasta machines with the Chef and will also provide disposable plates, utensils and serving ware if you prefer not to use yours. 

Ingredients: Class/Event fees are inclusive of ingredients. However, if the chosen menu requires premium or unusual ingredients, those costs are incremental and will be quoted in advance. 

Recipes and Instructions: We can provide a keepsake handout for each event with a detailed list of equipment needed, ingredients and instructions upon request.

Class Times/Schedule: Your Chef will arrive 20 minutes in advance of your scheduled start time to set up and will stay to help clear and clean up the cooking area. Your booking includes this additional time. If the Chef stays longer at your request, incremental time will be billed at $100 for every 30 minutes. Travel time: Class fees are inclusive of up to 30 minutes of estimated one-way travel time for the chef/staff. For locations farther away, we’ll provide pricing for the additional time.
