CLASS REGISTRATION and POLICIES
Call us at 704-333-7300 to register for an upcoming
class.
Classes are open to adults only, minimum is 21
years of age.
We require payment in FULL upon registration. You
may pay by phone with Visa or Master Card, or in person with cash, credit card, or personal check with valid ID. When
using a gift certificate for a class, all CLASS REGISTRATION and POLICIES apply.
We ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DO not allow customers to register
people exclusive of themself for a cooking class. If you would like to give a class as a gift, we are happy to
issue a gift certificate. Gift certificates may be used for merchandise or classes and they do not expire. A gift
certificate allows the recipient the opportunity to select the class and time that best meets their interest and schedule.
Class cost per person and type of class, such as hands-on or demonstration, expert speaker, sampling, is
indicated next to each class or special event.
Plan to arrive
10-15 minutes prior to scheduled class or event for an on-time start. Regular class attendance is limited to twelve
(12) participants to ensure a good experience for everyone. Special events and demonstrations may allow additional attendees,
which is determined on a case by case basis.
A waiting list will be employed when a class or event is
full and potential registrants will be contacted in order of listing upon availability of space.
STANDARD cancellations require 7 days advance notice
(this means you MUST contact Cooking Uptown before 1:00 PM on the Saturday PRIOR to your scheduled class) for
refund or extension of registration to another class. Groups of three (3) or more shall waive
the standard cancellation policy and shall be ineligible for refunds after registration.
For those cancellations made with less than 7 days advance notice or NO notice, there shall be NO refund
nor extension of registration for another class. This policy applies to registrations paid for by cash, check, credit
card or gift certificate - due to the fact that the guest chef has prepared for, and is paid for, the total number of registered
participants. In case of an emergency and you are unable to attend a class, you may choose to send someone in your place
and resolve the financial arrangements between yourselves.
Chefs may make changes to the menu and make substitutions for ingredients at their sole discretion,
based upon freshness and availability of products.
We reserve the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment, instructor emergency or illness
and inclement weather. We strive to find a suitable substitute in these cases to avoid the inconvenience to class registrants.
FREQUENTLY asked QUESTIONS
1) How much does a class cost? Class prices change from time to time as the cost of food changes. The price is shown for each class listed in the class schedule below. 2) How do I register for a class? To register for a class call 704-333-7300 and speak to a sales associate. We ask for your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and form of payment. We accept Visa, MasterCard and our gift certificates.
3) How do I determine my skill level, Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced?
4) May I register my husband, wife, friend, for a cooking class? If you would like to give the gift of a class to a friend or loved one, we suggest purchasing a gift certificate for them. Our gift certificates can be used for merchandise or classes and they do not expire.5)
Can I use a Cooking Uptown™ gift certificate to pay for a class? Yes,
gift certificates may be used toward merchandise or classes. When you call to
register for a class, just give us the gift certificate number. All registration
and refund policies apply. 6)
What if my Cooking Uptown™ gift certificate is less than the cost of the
class? If
your gift certificate is less than the class price, additional cost must be paid in order to confirm a reservation.
We accept Visa or MasterCard payment by phone. Other forms of payment can be made in the store to complete the registration. All
registration and refund policies apply. 7) Are classes demonstration or hands-on style? Our
specialty is hands-on classes and 99% of our classes are hands-on participation. Class
type is indicated by each class listed in the class schedule. 8) What does hands-on participation mean? Generally participants are divided into groups of 2 or 3 people and each group makes one of the menu items during the 2 hour time period. 9) Why doesn’t everyone make all the recipes? Unfortunately 2 hours is not enough time for each person to make each recipe. There would be too much food left over and the cost of the class would be prohibitively expensive.
10) Should I eat breakfast or lunch before I come to the class? Yes, it is a good idea to have breakfast or lunch beforehand. The food that is prepared in the class is enjoyed by all between 12:00 and 12:30 for the morning class and 2:30 and 3:00 PM for the afternoon class. The tasting is intended to be a sampling of the recipes prepared. 11) What if I am just learning to cook? We welcome novice cooks
and keep class sizes small so that you can be involved at your level of comfort. If
you have never cooked at all, we suggest the “Culinary Basics with Knife Skills” as a good starter class. 12) What if I’m an experienced cook? We develop classes to cover
a broad range of cooking knowledge and skills. While we do classify our classes by skill
level, they are open to the general public. We keep class sizes small in order to accomodate varying styles. The guest chef instructor is here for you to address your specific questions
and interests. If you feel that you require more complex and challenging tasks,
please speak up! 13) What do I need to bring to the class? Most classes do not require you
to bring culinary tools with you. You may elect to bring an apron or chef coat to cook in. Also,
you may wish to bring a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice. We have water available for refills. 14) Can we bring an alcoholic beverage (for example, wine) to the class? For liability purposes we
cannot allow alcoholic beverages to be brought onto the premises. 15) If I sign up with a friend to take a class, can we cook together? It is at the guest chef’s discretion to facilitate each class. Some instructors separate friends who come together, because it creates a better sense of camaraderie in the group. Participants have a tendency to learn more and socialize less when they cook with an acquaintance. You may, however, request to work together at the start of class.
