Sur La Table review

Sur La Table runs live online cooking classes that are priced for a household rather than a person, which makes them good value for couples and families. Its online classes page says the classes are not pre-recorded tutorials: a chef-instructor guides the group step by step on Zoom and answers questions while you cook, and you finish with a full meal. Before class you download a prep packet with the ingredient list, tools and setup notes, then set a laptop or tablet up in the kitchen. Classes typically run 1.5 to 2 hours and are listed in Eastern Time. Prices start at $39 per household, and one registration covers everyone cooking with you, with payment due in full at booking. Cancel at least 48 hours before class and you can choose a refund, a virtual gift card or an exchange; inside 48 hours none of those apply, though someone else may attend in your place. Each class stands alone, so this teaches dishes more than a progression of techniques.
