Essence on Main now offers cooking classes several times each month, in their bright wide-open kitchen. While the class subjects and themes are varied, the overall idea is to have fun learning new techniques to tempt even the most reluctant cook into spending more time in the kitchen.  With a limited number of students in each class, each attendee has the opportunity to see the work up close, ask questions, and often participate in the creation of the dishes.  The goal at Essence is to teach our customers how to cook healthy food with great flavor. Oh, yeah, we’ll eat too!

After graduating with honors from Schoolcraft’s prestigious Culinary Arts program, Joan Donnay wanted to do something fun and food related close to home, Essence on Main is the realization of that dream…we enjoy having you alongside for the journey!!

About Essence on Main’s cooking classes:
Classes are limited to 10 participants per class so that everyone has an opportunity to see the demonstrations and participate in the action if desired. Class fees must be paid at the time of registration and our classes are filled on a first-paid, first-seated basis. If a class is full, we will be happy to add you to our waiting list.
 
Cancellation Policy:
If you cancel a reservation within five days prior to a class, you may transfer the fee to another available class or you may receive a full refund.  If you cancel less than five days before the scheduled class, we regret that your class fee at this point is only transferrable, and if you cancel within 48 hours of class please try to send someone in your place since the fees at this point are non-refundable and non-transferrable.  Essence on Main reserves the right to cancel classes. In the event of our cancellation, we will notify you and provide a full refund or class credit.
 
Private Classes:
In addition to our regularly scheduled classes, Essence on Main also offers private cooking classes for groups of 8-12.  You choose a theme and we’ll create a menu that will be tantalizing and tasty for your women’s group, Bunco club, co-workers, or your family and friends.  It will be a fun–filled and educational evening that you’ll want to plan again!
