Ann Arbor Cooks specializes in hands-on participation cooking classes because we feel that students learn best when executing the technique or menu themselves, and as a result, leave with a much greater level of confidence to practice what they have learned in their own kitchen.  Class sizes are limited to provide for an interactive learning experience, where all students have ample exposure to the instructor.  Please refer to our Class Calendar to see all current class offerings.


What to Expect in a Class

Most classes are three hours in duration.  Ann Arbor Cooks provides all ingredients, equipment, and recipes for class.  The first hour or so is spent with the instructor demonstrating the complete menu -- with a concentrated focus on tips and technique relevant to the class menu.  Then, students tie on an apron and work in groups to prepare the entire menu.  At the end of the class, students sit down together to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  Students will be provided with a recipe packet to take home, as well as any leftovers, if you are lucky enough to have some!
