How This Works
Live Online Class: This class is offered online as a live cooking class. We’ll be sharing the same amazing culinary entertainment you’d get if you were in our Kitchen, except you can be in your jammies (no judgement here). Ask questions, take notes, and have our owners Beatriz and Laura answer you LIVE from their Kitchen in Miami. We promise it’ll feel a whole lot like you’re in our Kitchen and you’ll be practicing safe social distancing as we all #stayhome. At the end of the class, we’ll all “sit down” (virtually of course) to savor what we’ve made. We can’t wait to cook with you soon!
Shopping List: After registering, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a short shopping list along with the recipes so that you can purchase what you need to actively participate. If you can’t find all of the ingredients, you can still join the class and either omit that ingredient or just enjoy learning along with us. If you have specific questions about allergy or other substitution requests, please email miamiwest@tastebudskitchen.com and we’ll be happy to help you.
Accessing the Class: You will need to download the free Zoom app onto your desktop, tablet or phone before the class. After registering, you will receive a separate email that includes a Zoom link to our online class. We recommend joining from a laptop to see better but tablets work just fine as well. Please have all of your ingredients ready and equipment ready/fully charged and your recipes open (or printed).
BYOB: Our classes are BYOB (in our Kitchen and at-home) so please have whatever you’d like to drink in hand. 🙂 It’s going to be so much fun!
Spread the Word: Please help us to spread the word to your friends and family. We’d love to have them cook along with us! 100% of the proceeds of all online classes will go towards offsetting fixed overhead costs during this difficult time due to COVID-19. #supportsmallbusiness #TBKatHome
Want a private class for you and your friends, a fun team-building corporate zoom call, a date night private lesson just for you and your plus one or a private family class? We’d be happy to host you! Email miamiwest@tastebudskitchen.com to arrange.
