Life looks different today than what it did at the beginning of the year. Through each step, we’ve adapted and adjusted our way of life in more ways than one. Maybe these changes are decisions we wish we didn’t have to make or maybe they’re exciting new opportunities we couldn’t have anticipated. Regardless of industry, interests or lifestyle, there are always ways to innovate and adapt.
Including cooking classes.
If you’ve ever attended a Fustini’s School of Cooking class, you know they’re fun outings where you can grow in your knowledge and skills alongside your friends and family. They’re a chance to learn from experienced chefs who bring their own personality and flair to the cooking counter.
We’re passionate about sharing quality ingredients in the versatile activity of cooking. And now, we’re looking forward to a new way to welcome you to the table.
Launching this fall, we’re bringing a cooking class experience to your kitchen. Our virtual cooking classes invite you to join in a class with one of our talented chefs, all through a livestream platform. Advance your cooking skills all in the comfort of your own home.
Our Fustini’s staff and guest chefs are so excited to team up with you in these interactive, small group settings through a virtual call. But what exactly does this online cooking class experience look like? Here, we share answers to some top questions you might be wondering.

We’ve all been doing a little more cooking at home these days. But beyond that, we may also have started to appreciate the convenience and ease of virtual meetings, events and other get-togethers when in-person isn’t possible. By turning our cooking classes virtual, we invite you to experience Fustini’s in a new way. Our chefs have a passion for teaching and showing you both cooking techniques and new ways to use your favorite Fustini’s products. Livestreaming classes through Zoom empowers you with a fun “outing” right from your own kitchen.
When you sign up online for an upcoming virtual cooking class, you’ll be signing up for you and anyone else in your household who wants to cook along with you. Invite your friends to join with you from their homes by having them sign up, too.
Like our in-person demonstration and interactive classes, our chefs specialize their classes on seasonal and intriguing themes you’ll be sure to love. From celebrating fall flavors and fresh produce to hosting a kid-friendly pizza party, our chefs have some fun creative themes up their sleeves. Check out our upcoming class schedule to see class themes and the dishes you’ll be cooking up for you and your family in these virtual classes.
Make it an evening in or an afternoon activity with virtual classes offered for both dinnertime and lunch. Typically, weekday classes are from 5:30-7:00 p.m., as well as Saturday classes offered in the afternoon from noon-1:00 p.m. Be sure to check out our calendar for upcoming dates and times to find a class that fits with your schedule.
Unless otherwise noted, our 2-hour cooking classes are $39.00 per household link. We’ll get you the recipes and cooking experience. You’re responsible for getting the ingredients, kitchen tools and yes, doing the dishes afterward. Remember that you can have others in your household cook along with you to share the experience.
In your virtual cooking experience, we want to make sure you feel confident and at ease as you cook with our chef and others in your class. To ensure you’ve got what you need to follow along, we’ll provide you a list of ingredients and kitchen tools you’ll need to have on hand to follow along with the recipes. Your “prep packet” will also have recipes and a list of Fustini’s products you’ll be using. You’ll be able to access your Zoom virtual cooking class with the code provided in the packet as well.
Depending on the recipes and dishes you’re creating, you may need to do a little bit of prep work so you’re ready to go when class starts. You may need to marinate meat overnight or let some dough rest in the fridge for a few hours. If those preparation steps are required, we’ll share detailed instructions in your “prep packet.”
Just like in our in-person classes, attending a class also gets you a discount code as you make an in-store or phone order. When you call, we’ll ship your order to you. This code does not work online at this time. You can use this code to purchase your Fustini’s products before your scheduled class and is valid for 24 hours after your class.
As these virtual cooking classes require prep work and resources in both planning and launching, we cannot offer the opportunity to cancel your class. However, you’re welcome to transfer your registration to another household to take your place. All you have to do is send the name of the new household attending to denise@fustinis.com. We’ll transfer your registration and ensure they’re welcomed into the virtual class.
As other forms of learning and working have adjusted, so has our cooking classes. With our new virtual format, we’re so excited to continue to cook with you from the comfort of your own kitchen. Through video conference tools, you’ll experience an engaging and fun cooking environment with your chef. Discover new ways to use your favorite Fustini’s products in a hands-on way through our new virtual classes. Visit our upcoming class schedule to find your next evening idea.
