Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring anything to the class or tour, and what do I wear?

Cooking Classes - As a matter of Health & Safety, we require that you wear closed-in shoes, preferably leather, and remove any jewellery, especially from your hands.

We will provide aprons for your use during classes. Aprons are also available for purchase.

Foodies Trail - We will be visiting farms and walking around, so comfortable casual clothing is suggested along with sensible shoes. As we will be spending some time outside, we suggest you bring sunscreen and a hat. Cameras are also welcome. Bottled water will be provided for you on the tour.

We provide you with a small carry bag, but you might like to bring a cooler bag (depending upon the season) . Not all vendors have credit card facilities, so cash is best.

If paying by gift certificate please bring the gift certificate, and if you wish to make notes, bring a pen.
