The duration remains the same, regardless of whether you choose a three- or four-course menu.
What kind of cooking workshops does Keizer Culinair offer?
We offer various types of culinary experiences. The main distinction is between cooking workshops and masterclasses.
Cooking Workshops
These workshops are perfect for both company events and private groups. They are organized for groups of approximately 10 people or more and are available with various menus and themes. Ideal for corporate outings, team-building events, birthdays, or other special occasions.
Masterclasses
Our masterclasses are organized once every two weeks on Sundays and can be booked individually. The focus is on learning and technique, while also creating a relaxed and social atmosphere where people can enjoy doing something fun together. You will cook in a smaller group setting under the guidance of our chefs, with plenty of room to learn, taste, and enjoy.
What is the difference between a cooking workshop and a masterclass?
The difference lies mainly in the setup and the way you participate.
A cooking workshop is intended for private groups (corporate or private) and is tailor-made. Cooking together and socializing are key. These workshops are available with different menus and are organized for groups of approximately 10 people or more.
A masterclass can be booked individually and is organized once every two weeks on Sundays. You cook in a smaller group under the guidance of our chefs. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with plenty of room to share a fun culinary experience together and discover new dishes.
