Ingredients & equipment
Generally, the host participant
will undertake the cost of ingredients for classes held at their home.
As there is no markup on ingredients, either epicurean or the host participant
may purchase them.
We prefer to use as few purchased
ingredients as possible. Obviously, the ingredients needed are determined
by the subject matter of the class. Where possible, we try to make use
of what you have on hand, rather than having classes dependant on large
shopping expeditions.
Similarly, we don't arrive at your home laden with boxes of specialized
equipment. The point is for you to be comfortable and confident in producing
meals using what you've got. You don't need to stock your kitchen (although
our links page can help if you are so inclined).
If there is concern about the logistics of teaching six people in your
kitchen, or if you want to learn how to do something you have absolutely
no equipment for, then we are happy to come do a site visit and discuss
what you will need.
