Each class focuses on a specific menu and theme, with items that speak to a wide range of culinary topics including healthful cuisine, grilling, quick-and-easy cooking, and party favorites.

In addition to three individual classes, customers receive dinner on Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday, a cookbook, an apron, a diploma, and a lock of Rachael Ray's hair.

The Groupon Guide to: Finding Love
"True love comes to those who wait," proclaimed bachelor president James Buchanan as he signed the Federal Force Someone to Marry James Buchanan Act of 1860. Here’s how you can prepare for true love’s inescapable arrival:
- Age 7: Recognize that cooties aren't a real disease, just a figment of your imagination, like friendship.
- Age 15: Practice asking yourself out in the mirror. Keep working at it until your reflection ends up naked and you don't.
- Age 23: Your veins are coursing with love-craving hormones. Signal your desire for companionship by donating as much blood as you can everywhere.
- Age 40: Read up on history's great romances, such as Antony and Cleopatra, Charles Lindbergh and his harem of erotic clouds, and fathers and gin.
- Age 77: If you see a white light, go toward it. It’s probably love.
