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.

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 worktable 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

We have a firm 48-hour cancellation policy to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student. For cancellations prior to the 48-hour mark, we are happy to offer credit for a future class.

Non-refundable, credit only.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are not able to offer credit/refund for last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand these things do happen.

Missed Class Policy

What can I do if I have to miss a class during a Boot Camp?

We understand that finding 6 consecutive weeks on your calendar to book a Boot Camp can be challenging, but because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer you a make-up class if you cannot make one or more of the classes. As a consolation we have two options, for those who need to miss a class within a Boot Camp series:

1) Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or

2) Opt for our "Plan B" program:

You are welcome to attend any of our classes that still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats, as opposed to giving you a seat in a future class that would otherwise have been paid for. 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)

Plan B does not have any expiration date; just be in touch with me directly when you find a class that works for you.

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!

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

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.

Reviewed by Anonymous on 12/29/2017

This class was outstanding! I learned much more than I expected. Would recommend this to everyone.

Reviewed by Larry m. on 11/4/2017

Very good one suggestion would be to try and provide some written material on what was done to take with you. However I would recommend taking the class it was fun and informative.
