Class Description
Join us for an evening that celebrates the beauty of simple, authentic Italian cooking. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn to craft a classic menu bursting with fresh flavors and rustic charm. Your instructor tonight is Chef Molly Flynn. Chef Molly Flynn trained at Seattle Central Culinary Academy and built her career across Seattle's restaurant and catering scene while running her own business as a personal chef. Beyond teaching both adults and children to cook, she's spent the last three years cooking for the Kansas City Chiefs at their training facility.

We’ll begin with a vibrant Insalata Caprese, featuring ripe tomatoes, creamy and fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. Then, you’ll master the art of perfect Pasta Pomodoro, a comforting favorite with a bright, fresh tomato sauce. For the main course, you’ll cook up tender Chicken Marsala, finished in a rich mushroom and wine sauce that’s pure Italian indulgence.

To end on a sweet note, we’ll create elegant Lemon Curd and Cream Parfaits, a light and luscious finale that will transport you straight to the Amalfi Coast. Mangia!

About Our Shared Cooking Experience

One of the things that makes our classes special is the community we build around every workstation. For most classes, each cooking workstation accommodates four people, and we thoughtfully pair individuals and couples together to create a collaborative, social experience. Over the years, we've watched countless friendships form over chopped vegetables and simmering sauces.

Most guests find that cooking alongside new people adds to the fun and creates unexpected connections. Whether you're signing up solo, with friends, or as a couple, you'll likely share your workstation with others who are just as excited to learn, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. Please note that if you registered with other people on the same order, you will automatically be seated together. If you signed up as a party of four, you will automatically have your own workstation for most classes. If you'd like to sit with another registered guest and you haven't booked your seats together, please let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up, and you will be seated together and placed at the same workstation.

We understand if you'd prefer a more intimate experience with just your own group. If you'd like to reserve an entire workstation for your party, simply purchase four spots and you will be given your own private workstation in most of our classes. This guarantees your group will have the space to yourselves. Please note that a few of our classes have six people per workstation. These include our Sourdough, Sushi, and Tamale-making classes.

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies

We want everyone to enjoy our classes safely and comfortably! If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up. Our chefs do their best to accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs with as much advance notice as possible. Please note:

• We are not a nut-free facility and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
• Some dietary restrictions may be challenging to accommodate depending on the class menu.
• If you have severe allergies or complex dietary needs, we strongly encourage you to call us at 913-341-4455 before registering so we can discuss whether we can safely accommodate your requirements.

Our team is committed to making your experience as inclusive as possible, but we want to be upfront about our limitations. The more notice you give us, the better we can prepare. When in doubt, please reach out—we're here to help you determine if a particular class is the right fit!

You will receive an Account Credit if you need to cancel at any time within three weeks but prior to the class start time. Please note that any refund issued for classes purchased using a Gift Certificate or Account Credit will result in reinstatement of the original Gift Card or Account Credit and will bear the same expiration date.
