Cooking School Frequently Asked Questions What if I can’t attend a class? Please call the cooking school office at least five business days before the class for credit to reschedule and 10 business days before the class to receive a full refund. If you need to cancel fewer than five business days before the class and the class does not have a wait list, it will be too late to reschedule for another class, though you may send a friend to attend class in your place. You may purchase insurance for a nonrefundable $5 per seat. Insurance gives you the flexibility to cancel with fewer than five business days’ notice and still reschedule for a future class. What is the difference between demo and hands-on? Taking a demonstration class is akin to being at the chef’s table, where you watch the chef cook and get a taste of everything on the menu. In handson classes, you put on an apron, are divided into groups and each group prepares a part of the menu. Do they feed us in class? You will enjoy a tasting portion of each dish prepared in class. However, the first dish may not be served until 45 minutes or more after class begins.

How long will the class last? Demonstration classes generally last about 2 to 2½ hours. Hands-on classes generally take about 2½ to 3 hours. If a class wavers significantly from this time frame, such as Lunch 101, it will be noted in the class description. Is there reserved seating? Seating is first-come, first-served. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of the class. What should I bring to class? In hands-on classes, please wear long pants and closed-toed, rubber-soled shoes. We will provide aprons, knives and other equipment. In a demonstration class, you may wish to bring a sweater, since the room is air-conditioned to offset the heat from cooking. Are beverages served during class? We offer complimentary water, sparkling water, sodas and wine. Two glasses of wine are poured to students 21 and older. Alcohol may not be brought in from outside of the classroom. Do I have to register in advance or can I just show up? Please register in advance. We have to determine whether there is sufficient enrollment to run the class and place orders in advance for ingredients. What happens if my class is canceled? When a class is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, we will issue you a full refund in kind or transfer your credit to another class, your choice.

recipients the flexibility of choosing the class they want. Any leftover funds can be used for anything in the store, from gourmet groceries to cookbooks to dinner at Viognier Restaurant, located inside our San Mateo store. Classes cost $50 to $75 per class on average. Do you offer team-building cooking classes or cooking parties? Yes, we do! Please contact Abigail Crayne at 650.685.3704 or cookingschool@draegers.com. Are there any discounts? For every 10 classes an individual takes at full price, the 11th one is $50 off. Receive $50 off for each individual registering for five BASICS classes. Receive $5 off for each individual registering for two Lunch 101 classes. Receive $10 off for each individual registering for three or more Lunch 101 classes. BASICS and Lunch 101 discounts apply to classes occurring in the same catalog period. What is the minimum age to attend a class? We offer classes for children of various ages under 12—see Draeger’s Junior Chefs’ Club. Children ages 12 and 13 are welcome to enroll in our regular classes, accompanied by a paying adult. Children 14 and older may attend class unaccompanied by an adult.

How do I give someone a class as a gift? Please purchase a Draeger’s gift card. A cooking class catalog may be presented along with it. This allows
