FAQs
WHO SHOULD TAKE OUR CLASSES?
Anyone! We are excited to teach cooks of all levels. We offer classes specifically for beginners, advanced cooks, children, and teens. Check the cooking class calendar for all our classes.
​
WHAT ARE THE FEES FOR CLASSES?
Class fees vary based on the ingredients used and whether the class is hands-on or a demonstration. Please check the cooking class booking page for the price of the class you are interested in.
​
HOW DO I REGISTER?
You can register and pay for classes using our cooking class calendar. You do not have to have a PayPal account for payment, simply select the cc you want to use and EventBrite will process your payment.
​
HOW SHOULD I DRESS FOR THE CLASS?
Please wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes and clothes. Flip flops are not recommended in our kitchen for safety reasons. You will be provided with an apron to wear during class. You may also want to pull back long hair.
​
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE TO CLASS?
Before class begins, you'll need to check-in, so try to arrive 5-10 minutes before the class start time. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so arrive early - especially if you want to sit next to friends you might know are coming.
​
CAN I SCHEDULE A PRIVATE BOOKING?
Yes! Our classes can be personalised for groups of 1-15. See our Private Parties section for more information.
​
CAN I CANCEL OR CHANGE MY BOOKING?
A minimum 5-day notice via phone or email is required for class cancellations or rescheduling. This policy is in place to keep the costs of our classes as low as possible and ensure that seats are sold to those committed to attending. If you are unable to attend a class, you are encouraged to send someone in your place. We cannot make exceptions.
​
CAN I PURCHASE A GIFT CERTIFICATE?
Yes, gift certificates for classes, parties & events are available and make a unique gift. Just give us a call or purchase them on our website and we will have them ready for you or can send them your way in the mail.
​
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR A CLASS?
Registering for classes at Cottura Kids is easy. You may register online via our class calendar or email us at info@montessoilymumma.com and we will take your reservation over the phone. Gift Cards are not compatible with our online booking system so you will need to contact us directly to reserve with a gift card.
​
CAN PARENTS SIT IN ON A CLASS?
Parents are more than welcome to observe students and instructors at work in the kitchen.
​
HOW LARGE ARE THE CLASSES?
Each class is limited to no more than 8 students per instructor in our kids classes. This way we can be sure each student can get the attention they deserve. Our knowledgeable, experienced & patient staff will work one-on-one with each student. We believe there’s no substitute for careful, personal instruction.
​
DO I NEED TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FOR THE CLASS?
No, everything needed to begin your adventure in cooking will be provided by the Cottura Kids team. We supply it all from the professional grade cooking equipment and utensils to the delicious food you will learn to prepare.
