Ingredients & equipment
Generally, the host participant will undertake the cost of ingredients for classes held at their home. As there is no markup on ingredients, either epicurean or the host participant may purchase them.

We prefer to use as few purchased ingredients as possible. Obviously, the ingredients needed are determined by the subject matter of the class. Where possible, we try to make use of what you have on hand, rather than having classes dependant on large shopping expeditions.

Similarly, we don't arrive at your home laden with boxes of specialized equipment. The point is for you to be comfortable and confident in producing meals using what you've got. You don't need to stock your kitchen (although our links page can help if you are so inclined). If there is concern about the logistics of teaching six people in your kitchen, or if you want to learn how to do something you have absolutely no equipment for, then we are happy to come do a site visit and discuss what you will need.
