Knife and kitchen safety rules
Please wear closed-toed shoes to reduce the risk of injury from spills or falling objects. Hair should be tied up or in a hat. Aprons are available for use, but feel free to bring your favorite along!
If you are not comfortable using a knife or any equipment in the class, be sure to let your instructor know. We are there to help and can provide modifications or assistance as needed.

Class cancellation policy
Class cancellations must be at least 24 hours prior to class start time. This is to allow for shopping and prep time and to avoid food waste.
If you miss the 24 hour cutoff for cancellation, you will forfeit that class credit and no refund will be available. Please be sure to add your class reservation to your calendar and doublecheck that The Plants Kitchen emails are not going to your junk mailbox, as we send out reminder emails prior to the class cancellation cutoff period

Monthly Membership
All memberships are on auto-renewal. Every 30 days, the membership will auto-renew and you will be charged for the following month. You can cancel at any time until the day of auto renewal

Age limit
Our classes are currently designed for adults aged 18 and up. We are hoping to add kid and teen-focused cooking classes in the future

Food allergies
We do use a good amount of soy, seeds, and nuts in our classes as protein sources, so we cannot guarantee that there will not be a risk of cross-contamination for those with severe allergies. Our plant-based classes are generally modifiable for those on a gluten-free diet, but we will need advance notice. Given that we are a plant-based kitchen, we naturally do not use any dairy or animal products. Please let us know in advance if you have specific dietary restrictions, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

All participants are required to sign the following waiver within our scheduling software prior to participation in our cooking classes:
