Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the format of the cooking classes?
Amber’s semi-private classes each offer a different focus, so you will have the opportunity to learn a variety of techniques and styles of cuisines. Classes will be small so as to remain semi-hands on with a lot of opportunity for individual questions and interaction. There will be recipes, cooking, and a lot of amazing and fresh, interesting and organic healthy food to eat!
How many people are in a cooking class?
Class size ranges from 4-8 people.
What skill level are the classes geared for?
There is no skill level too beginner nor too advanced, we have something for everyone. I have been cooking for 20 years and I still learn new things every day!
I follow a special diet (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free).
Please note if you are vegetarian or vegan; even if the class does offer some meat, there will always include a lot of veggies and some alternatives for you. If you are gluten-free or have other dietary restrictions, please email me to discuss the best options for you.
How do I pay for the class?
We will send you an invoice via PayPal with your class total plus a $3 processing fee. Your spot will be saved once your payment has been received.
What is the cancellation policy?
Payment is non-refundable. Cancellations received with at least 72 hours in advance, you may transfer your payment to a future class. Due to the intimate nature of the class, if you need to cancel with less than 72 hours notice, you are more than welcome to give/sell the slot to a friend.
Where are the Coconut Grove cooking classes held?
The Naked Bite classes are held in Amber’s home. Address and directions will be provided prior to the scheduled date of your class.
Do you offer other class themes besides those listed in the schedule?
Yes! Please see the Complete Class List to see all potential class offerings. If you don’t see a favorite class coming up soon, feel free to contact me to request that it be scheduled soon.
Can I schedule a private class for myself or my group of friends?
Of course! The Naked Bite classes are perfect for a private lesson or a celebration or special event (birthdays, date night, bachelorette party, or children’s party). epending on the nature of the special request the maximum number of attendees will fluctuate. I can come to your kitchen or you can come to mine and I will custom design a menu just for you!
Do you cater?
I do small catered events and dinner parties. Please see my Conscious Culinary Services and Sample Menus.
Have another question that is not covered here? No problem. Just contact me!
