To guarantee that your package arrives before Christmas, please place your order by noon on Wednesday, December 17, 2009. We ship via UPS ground. After December 17, packages will have to be expedited (second-day or next-day air) to ensure delivery before December 25.

Don’t worry, you can always get a gift certificate (even at the very last minute). Gift certificates can be purchased online, by telephone, or in person. They are available in any amount. They can be redeemed for cooking classes or merchandise. The gift certificates can be mailed or picked up at the store. Or, order the gift certificates online, choose “print from your own computer,” and gift giving is solved with no hassles or wasted time!

For a unique gift certificate, give a cooking tutorial — a one-on-one cooking class with a chef on any topic and scheduled at the recipient’s convenience.
