No, Mirepoix Cooking School is a recreational cooking class program. We offer cooking classes to culinary enthusiasts and the home gourmand. If you are looking for a professional cooking school opportunity, we encourage you to investigate Schoolcraft College and other fine professional culinary programs in the area.

When coming to a class, you can expect to learn the tricks of the trade and enjoy a delicious meal. Our classes are all hands-on unless indicated otherwise in the class description. Mirepoix Chefs are talented, extremely knowledgeable and committed to make sure everyone enjoys their experience in Mirepoix. Our classes begin with a short orientation and introduction of our staff. We will introduce each recipe with a short demo. Guests will then be assigned to their cooking station. Each cooking station can fit up to 6 guests. Each cooking station will have their own prep table, stove, oven, kitchen equipment and ingredients. You can enjoy your meal in class at your own table or you can package to take home. Beer and wine available for purchase. You won’t need to bring anything to class – we provide everything for you. Just come dressed comfortably. Please no open toe shoes. For hands-on classes, we will provide you with a chef’s apron. We also provide knives for your use.

We have classes to suit everyone. From children’s classes to the building blocks for adults, we have just the right thing for you, and all are offered in a comfortable setting, so they are not intimidating for even the most novice cook. If you have questions about the difficulty of a particular class, please call our concierge to discuss the details of the class you are interested in taking.

We strongly encourage everyone to take the Knife Skills class. A knife is the chef’s most important tool – aside from a good palate! This comprehensive class will teach you the basics. Good knife skills are imperative to solid cooking technique. Our Knife skills class is complete with a full meal as well.

Our classes celebrate good food and good cooking techniques. Guests in our hands on cooking classes will enjoy the meal they have prepared in each class. You can enjoy your meal in class or feel free to package and take home. Because the meals are served at the end of class, we do recommend eating a snack to hold you over.
