PREP Kitchen Essentials believes that improving the quality of your food correlates with improving the quality of your life, just as consuming processed foods can inhibit your ability to play the game of Life. A diverse range of classes simmers on PREP's schedule, tempting tutorees with the likes of DIY seafood, ribs, and French fare. Some past courses have incorporated regional cuisine, and others center on ingredient-themed meals. The cooking classes are 100% participatory, with all students partaking in the chopping, mixing, and peer-pressuring of recipe components. Aspiring master chefs will break into teams to make all of the recipes on the menu for a particular class. Everyone then sits down for civilized consumption of the resulting deliciousness. The classes are casual with an emphasis on conviviality, while delivering the finest culinary instruction straight into eager knowledge receptacles.
Class sizes are limited to 16 students, so each student can receive personal attention from one of PREP's highly trained chefs. The 800-square-foot class kitchen gives students plenty of room to chop, squeeze, and sneak handfuls of cookie dough without bumping elbows. PREP is refreshingly freezer-less, guaranteeing that all ingredients are selected for freshness. All students receive printed recipes of the dishes they have prepared and a coupon for 10% off on store merchandise (excluding appliances) good on the day of their class. Classes generally run from 2.5 to 3 hours; call ahead to reserve your spot.
