PCC COOKING CLASSES FAQ

pcc classes have moved online

We are now offering online classes!

Online classes are offered live via the Zoom app. Adult classes are intended as demonstrations. If you wish to cook along, please reference the recipes for equipment and steps you may need to complete ahead of the class. To ensure all dishes can be finished during the class, our instructors may complete steps in advance. All key elements will be shown in class.

Kids’ classes are planned as cook-alongs. Recipes, equipment and instructions will be provided prior to the class.

For all classes, participants will receive recipes five days in advance and questions are encouraged via the chat feature during class. After the class, we will share a recorded version for reference.
