We often get questions about how our classes run and what to expect before and during class. See below for some of the most common questions!

General Classes FAQs

You can sign up for a class by going to our CLASS CALENDAR! Once you find a topic that interests you just click on the name of the class and it will take you to the description. Towards the bottom of the page you can select how many tickets you want to include in your purchase.

We recommend that you check your junk mail first. Often our emails are found hiding there! If you still can’t find your confirmation email us at INFO@THEPANTRYSEATTLE.COM and we’ll resend it to you.

For most classes there will be a communal meal served towards the end of class. You certainly don’t need to eat a large meal before class, but do try to avoid coming to class starving. There are occasionally classes that do not finish with a full meal. We will always let you know ahead of time if this is the case for your class!

So much! We are very active in how we teach. You will be chopping, stirring, sautéing, and mixing with your fellow students and instructor throughout class. We love gathering people around the stove to help make the magic happen!

If there is a specific date of class that you want to gift someone you can buy a spot in class and be sure to enter their name and email address in the “Attendee” fields when checking out. If you don’t have a specific date in mind then we recommend you purchase a GIFT CERTIFICATE instead!

They will not get notified when you purchase the class for them. We recommend that you send them a note when you are ready to give the class to them! If you think you may not have done this, just send us an email and we can fix it for you! If you are gifting them a class then they will receive a reminder for class a few days beforehand.

We do! We offer private classes for all sorts of situations. Want to celebrate a birthday or other milestone with family and friends located across the country? You can! Want to spend your work party cooking together? You can! Just send us an email at EVENTS@THEPANTRYSEATTLE.COM and we can start the process of finding the perfect fit for your event.

If you have had symptoms of Covid or if you have been in close contact with someone with Covid in the past 10 days, please follow the current CDC guidelines. We encourage guests who are feeling unwell to stay home to help protect our community and staff. However, our cancellation policy still applies in these situations.

All class and event purchases are non-refundable. If you can’t attend, you may transfer your ticket to someone else at any time. In some cases, we may be able to offer a credit if we can fill your spot from the waitlist. Credits are not available for cancellations made within 48 hours of the event.

Please read our TERMS AND CONDITIONS and PRIVACY POLICY before placing your order. By purchasing a class, event or takeaway meal at the Pantry you are agreeing to our CODE OF CONDUCT AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY.

We welcome children as participants in our kitchen, and ask that kids 14 and younger attend class with an adult. We encourage you to make sure the class topic is a good choice for them, and that their maturity level is ready for 3 to 3 1/2 hours of continued instruction. Please note that for many of our adult guests, this is their time away from young ones, so your participation in helping your child share the kitchen with others benefits everyone at the table.

Also, we'd love for you to send us a note letting us know that you've just registered a child, so we can make sure to have nonalcoholic beverages available!

The Pantry’s kitchen is not a safe space for babies, so please arrange childcare.


While some class menus can be adjusted, many can't. If you would like to attend a class and would need a menu adjustment, we recommend sending us an email before registering. We do always have vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free options, which you can find by doing a filtered search on the classes page.

If there are accommodations that would help improve your learning in class, we would like to know about them! Send us an email to info@thepantryseattle.com and we will do our best!
