Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is your cancellation policy?

    You are more than welcome to change or cancel your class reservation up to 48 hours before your scheduled class' start time for an account credit.  We do not offer credit card refunds, and we are not able to offer class credit or transfers for last-minute illnesses, work-related conflicts, personal emergencies or events beyond our control.  You are always welcome to send someone in your place, as we understand that these things do happen. If you are purchasing this class or event as a gift, please provide this cancellation policy to the recipient, as the policy will still apply. 

  • Should I tip the instructor?
     

    While gratuity is never expected, it is always appreciated. Our staff can accept gratuity via cash or credit card.

     
  • What is your BYOB policy?
     

    We do offer wine, beer, and/or cocktail pairings throughout class. However, you are more than welcome to bring your own beverages to supplement what we provide. We do not charge a corking fee.

     
  • Are classes transferable between locations?

    No. Please note that classes are only valid at the studio for which they were purchased. Classes & gift certificates are not transferable between The Cookery Dallas, The Cookery Fort Worth, & The Cookery Houston.

  • Do you host kids cooking classes?
     

    While we love children, our classes are primarily for adults. However, we do not mind if children 13 years or older attend any of our publicly scheduled classes, as long as they are accompanied by an adult who is also registered for the class.

    Whatever makes you comfortable! Our classes are very hands-on, so we suggest casual clothing and shoes.

  • Are classes hands-on?

  • Are beginners welcome?
