Important Reminders To Know Before Booking 

Here are a couple of reminders and formalities that are important for your event:

1.Your event is on November 14th from 6:00PM-9:00PM with a final head count of 30 guests. Total balance due is no later than September 14th. 

2.  Upon arrival you will need to sign a waiver, grab an apron and name tag, wash your hands, grab a drink & get ready to have fun!  We do not wait to start class if others are running late. If anyone arrives after the start time we will catch them up as best as possible.

3. Please make sure everyone wears closed toe shoes as it is required to participate for safety reasons. Additionally high heals are not recommended for safety reasons, as our floors could potentially  be slippery due to an unexpected spill by a guest. 

4. We will arrive 4 hours prior to the start time to set up and prepare for the class. We request the space is cleared as best as possible for us to set up. If you can please arrange for 8 folding tables for the class as well. If you would like us to bring table clothes please let us know and we can bring them (black). Please arrange for 1-2 ovens for us to use, preferably as close to the event as possible. 

5. Please ask anyone with long hair to bring a hair tie to pull back into a pony tail. 

6. As the class is an event, and date is reserved exclusively for your event, there is no refunds or transfers for cancelations. The only exception is if the event is canceled 30 days in advance and the initial deposit amount is NOT refundable. Refunds are not given if less people show up to class, or cancel last minute. Your final head count given 30 days prior to your event will be the final amount due and final guest count. 

7. Please let me know if you will be bringing wine or beer to enjoy during your event. Responsible consumption during class is expected and required, especially for safety reasons. Myself and the Hood Kitchen hold no financial or legal obligation to injury of any kind for any damages. If anyone is noticeably intoxicated we reserver the right to request they not continue cooking for safety reasons. We require everyone to plan for responsible transportation. Additionally, any damages caused is the financial and legal responsibility exclusively to whom booked the event and the company hosting it. 

8. Please kindly remind everyone attending ahead of time to listen carefully during instruction. It is important that while demonstrations and teaching from Chef that everyone refrains from having side conversations and watches closely. 

9. The building name is "The Hood Kitchen" and is located at 350 Clinton St, Costa Mesa, CA off of Redhill and Bristol, very close to the John Wayne airport. There is plenty of parking out front. (NA)

10. Menu - Homemade bread and dips: creamy feta and spinach dip

11. Your final head count & payment for your event is due 30 days prior to your event. Checks are preferred and you may also pay via pay pal or credit card. Any gratuity is greatly appreciated. The only variable in price is if you add extra dishes and/or add prime seafood or meat, which we only charge minimally for the extra food cost, or if additional guests join. 

12. If anyone has any allergies please let me know so I may plan accordingly with your menu. 

13. The Hood Kitchen is a large commercial kitchen space with 7 separate kitchens and event spaces. Please ask your team to refrain from walking through or disturbing the other spaces as they are hard at work and can also be dangerous with various equipment. 

14. I recommend reminding your staff to wear lighter clothing for this event, and or an under shirt. When the ovens and burners are turned on it can get warm. (NA)

15. It is important that each team member is reminded of the natural dangers that can occur within any kitchen. We do require each person participating sign a waiver releasing The Hood Kitchen, Stephanie Chinchilla and any staff under us, as not being responsible for absolutely any liability during your time while here or even after your departure. Each person is expected to take full responsibility for themselves while within our facility. (NA)

I look forward to cooking with you and your team. Im certain you will all have an amazing time & learn a lot!
