What you'll learn in this food tours class:

Join us as we tour NYC's largest and most beloved farmers market: the Union Square Greenmarket.

We'll wander through the farm stands, sampling and shopping for local produce and farm-made products to fill our shopping basket.

Along the way, we'll discuss:

What makes something "local"
Why "organic" is not the most important label at the market
What is currently in season and at its peak of flavor
What are the most important products to buy at the market
Tips for choosing the best produce

After 45 minutes of tasting and shopping, we'll head downtown via subway to our cooking school in SoHo where we'll prepare a full, seasonally-inspired lunch to enjoy together.

A typical menu consists of a local cheese + fruit platter (for nibbling on while we cook), a hearty seasonal vegetable and local grain dish, and fresh or roasted seasonal fruit served with local creme fraiche or homemade creme anglaise. (Vegetarians can be easily accommodated.)

Where: We'll meet at the NW corner of the Union Square Greenmarket (corner of Union Square West and East 17th, in front of Pret a Manger cafe)

Price includes: Farmers market samples, a cooking class back at our school, and a full sit-down lunch.

A NOTE ABOUT VACCINATION STATUS: As we dip our toe into in-person classes again, we are requiring that everyone who registers for our classes be fully-vaccinated by the date of class. (You will be asked to upload a photo of your vax card before class). This is meant to create a safe and relaxed, communal cooking environment for everyone.

School Notes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to share at the sit-down meal.

There is no sit-down meal for the following classes:

The Baking Basics
Holiday Candy Workshop
Bubbles and Truffles: Candy Making for Adults

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spacial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Still have questions? Ask the community.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

All classes are non-refundable.
We have a firm 48-hour cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to refill your seat with another student.
While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.
If you test positive or have been exposed to Covid, and it is less than 48 hours before your class, we will certainly work with you to find a future class for you to attend.
If you need to reschedule with less than 48 hours notice, please reach out directly to Home Cooking New York: [email protected].

For Culinary Bootcamps:

Boot camp registrations are not refundable, but are transferable to another boot camp if you give us more than 1 weeks’ notice if you need to change your start date.

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time:

Send a vaxxed friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or
Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

Thank you for understanding!

Question from Linda L.

Will other dates in 2020 be available for this class? I want to give it as a gift to my sister for us to take together, but would like to pick a mutually agreeable date in the spring. Thank you.

Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse Staff

Hi Linda! As of now, the only schedule for this class is on 12/27. We really can't say when will it be offered again. The school is the one giving us the schedule and there's no update on that as of yet. You can add it to your wish-list so you can be notified via email when new updates are made on the website.

Answer

Question from anonymous

Are any of your dish in any class gluten free

Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff

Hi there! This class is gluten-free. They do buy the baguette to snack on, but just make sure when you register, reminds the school so they can make sure to put the focus on GF friendly foods. Hope this helps!

Reviewed by Suzanne F. on 8/8/2021

Had a spectacular time at the class. I have had cooking classes before, yet learned several new things that surprised me. Also got a sense of how to shop from the market and put together combinations I would have never thought of doing before. All in all, a really fun experience and one which I hope to do again on a future trip to New York. Suzanne

Reviewed by Herry P. on 1/13/2019

This class was great. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and she kept the class pretty interactive. Although we cooked fish, there were also a lot of options in our meal for vegetarians as well. I also learned a lot about how to navigate the farmer's market

Reviewed by Anonymous on 10/26/2018

Fantastic trip with Erica. We had other people trying to join the class and listen in to her pearls of wisdom! The tour was extremely helpful and we feel much more confident about navigating the farmers market now and the food was delicious. Thanks for a fantastic day Erica!

This was great! Fun to learn about fruits and vegetables that I had never used before, or was scared to use! Small class so plenty of opportunity to learn and ask questions.
