Class Schedule
Secret Ingredient Classes
All classes at The Secret Ingredient are one to two hours in length (depending on format)and held in the comfort of Tracy's kitchen. Classes are kept small to encourage participation, and never are larger than eight students. Each month features something new---a particular ethnic cuisine, cooking concept, or theme.
In addition to the monthly class schedule (listed below), Tracy also offers private group classes. For more information, click "Private Groups" on the sidebar.
A NOTE ABOUT WAITLISTS: Once a class has sold out, names will be taken for a waitlist in case of cancellation. However, if there is sufficient interest, a second section of the class will be added and those waitlisted will be contacted via email.
