Your time in the kitchen

You arrive,
we cook together,
then everyone sits down to eat.

Your chef guides you all the way, and it ends in a feast.

01

We'll get you started.

Meet your chef and find out what you'll be making.
02

You do the cooking.

Work your way through the dishes with guidance.
Ask, experiment, taste and learn by doing.
03

Enjoy what you've made.

Then we all sit down together for the meal.
Before you come over

Before you
pick a class.

Each class page has its own menu, timings and details. These are the questions that apply to every class.

01

Do I need cooking experience?

No. Your chef guides you through the cooking, one step at a time. Come curious and ready to get involved.

02

What’s included?

A professional chef, all ingredients, aprons and equipment, a full meal, and all the washing up and tidying done for you. Afterwards everyone gets the recipes and photos by email.

03

How long does a class take?

Our classes run from two to three and a half hours, including the meal. Exact timings are on each class page.

04

Can I come on my own?

Yes. You’ll cook alongside the other guests and eat at a shared table, so you won’t be dining alone.

05

Can you accommodate dietary requirements or allergies?

The menu is set, so in an open class we can’t promise to adapt it, but we always do our best. Get in touch before you book and we’ll tell you what’s possible. Booking a private class? Then we can adapt to most requirements.

06

What language are classes taught in?

Most of our classes are taught in Icelandic, and some in English. Each class page shows which. In an Icelandic class our chefs are happy to help in English, but the introduction and demonstrations are in Icelandic.

07

What if I need to cancel?

For open classes and Cook & Dine: cancel 7 days or more before the class and you get a full refund. Cancel later than that but more than 72 hours before, and you can have half back or move your booking to another date at full value. Within 72 hours, or if you don’t come, there’s no refund.
