Children from age 5 are welcome.Is it for me?The class asks for an evening commitment of about five hours and involves standing and working at a cooking station in an open-air kitchen—so it suits someone with a few hours to spare and the energy for hands-on cooking, not someone looking for a quick demonstration or a seated experience.
