Common Questions About Our Programs
No prior cooking experience is required. Our Foundations course is specifically designed for beginners and covers everything you need to know. If you already have cooking skills, you can start with an intermediate or specialized course. We assess your needs during the registration conversation to recommend the right starting point for you.
Absolutely. Our curriculum covers allergen-free cooking broadly, focusing on the eight major allergens. During enrollment, we learn about your specific restrictions so we can suggest recipes and techniques relevant to your situation. Students in each class may have different allergen needs, which actually enriches the learning experience as you discover diverse ingredient options.
We keep class sizes small—typically 8 to 12 students per session. This ensures you receive personalized attention from instructors, have space to work comfortably in the teaching kitchen, and can build meaningful connections with fellow students. The size is intentional to maintain the quality of hands-on learning.
Life happens! If you must miss a class, please notify us as soon as possible. For foundational courses, we can arrange a recorded lesson review or one-on-one makeup session with an instructor. For ongoing specialty classes, you can make up the missed session in the next available cohort. We're committed to helping you complete your course without penalty for occasional absence.
Yes, if your schedule permits. Some students enroll in a foundational course plus a specialty course that meets on different days. We recommend starting with one course to avoid overwhelm, but you're welcome to take on more once you're settled into the learning rhythm. Discuss your schedule preferences with our registration team when you reach out.
Yes, all ingredients for recipes prepared during class are provided. We source high-quality, allergen-safe ingredients from reputable suppliers across Austria. You'll learn where to purchase similar ingredients for your home cooking, and we provide detailed sourcing guides. You take home recipes and ingredient lists so you can replicate everything independently.
Upon completion, you'll receive comprehensive course materials including all recipes with detailed instructions, ingredient substitution charts, sourcing guides, nutritional information, and reference materials specific to your course. These are yours to keep permanently and serve as ongoing resources for your cooking. Digital copies ensure you have them accessible always.
