Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for this cooking class? Can kids join?

A: Kids are welcome in this class, but I recommend checking with Andrew first about age suitability. My 12-year-old really enjoyed it! Just keep in mind that some kitchen tasks might require adult supervision.

Q: Is there a refund policy if we need to cancel or reschedule?

A: Andrew has a flexible rescheduling policy. If you need to cancel, you’ll usually get a full refund if you notify him at least 48 hours in advance. Just send him a message to confirm.

Q: What should we wear to the cooking class? Is it messy?

A: Definitely wear something you don’t mind getting a little messy! An apron is a must. I wore a T-shirt and jeans, and it was comfy. You’ll be working with flour and sauces, so just be prepared to have a bit of fun with it!

Just took the Roman cooking class with Andrew - so much fun!

I recently did the Private Hands On Roman Cooking Class in Quincy with Andrew, and it was an amazing experience! We made two ancient recipes and the historical insights were just as engaging as the cooking. Andrew provided wine to pair with our dishes too, which made it even better. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves cooking or history!
