OUR OFFERINGS
Offering healthier alternatives and education to make healthy eating more fun and innovative
Educating the dining community on sustainable practices, supporting locally, and diverting waste that can be reclaimed
This class style is designed to provide participants an immersive culinary and nutrition experience that positively impacts food choices, kitchen confidence, and wellness.
Our private teaching kitchen options are intended to give small private groups a chance to learn in the demonstration kitchen together. See options detailed at the bottom of the page.
Due to the limited registration space and resources used to supply each Demo Kitchen event, we ask that if you can no longer attend to cancel your reservation in order to open your spot to another individual within 12 hours of the scheduled event.
If you do not cancel your reservation spot and do not show up to the event, you will be charged a "no-show" fee ($15) to cover the cost of supplies.
Please be courteous of your fellow 49ers to allow others to attend!
