We are well known nationally and locally for our cooking school.
We have two separate kitchens. Our demonstration kitchen has a sixteen-foot mirror suspended over front counters and Viking stove top with six burners. Four additional burners are located behind a demonstration counter that is 20 feet long. There is a built-in Viking double oven. We can seat 40 students for demonstration-style classes or 24 for sit-down Dinners and Lunch and Learn classes. We offer private classes for meetings, showers etc.
On the other hand, our hands-on kitchen is a commercial kitchen. This Tuscan-style commercial kitchen has refrigeration, freezers, two Viking gas ranges with grill and griddle, 8 burners and two extra large ovens. It has a three-part sink and NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) approved racks and tables.
"Our Recipe for Success" in our cooking school includes Hands-on classes, Bus Trips, Lunch & Learn, Ethnic Cuisine, Next Generation, Tuesday Techniques, Guest Chefs….and so much more.
Crate also features private cooking classes and private team-building classes throughout the year. They are perfect for corporate team-building, off-site meetings, special events and celebrations. We offer both demonstration-style and hands-on classes for private events.
Our private classes feature custom menus paired with wine. A staff instructor will consult with you to create the perfect menu for your group. Most private parties include sparkling wine and hors d'oeuvres as your guests arrive. Your guests will use both demonstration and hands-on kitchens. They will get expert instruction (in-house staff or guest chef) and outstanding service. The class will culminate with a sit-down lunch or dinner.
