Class Registration & Cancellation Policy


Cooking at the Cottage classes are a ticketed event, filled on a first-come basis and payment must be made at the time of registration. ONLINE registration is NOW AVAILABLE, or can be done in person or by phoning the Cottage at (502) 893-6700. (No email requests honored.) Payment is due at time of registration. We accept all major credit cards. If paying by Gift Card, please have your card available, since we will need the numbers printed on the back of the card. Please bring your card with you to class for redemption. If paying with a split payment (gift card & credit card) or using a store credit, you must call the store to register.

REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS MUST BE MADE SEVEN (7) FULL DAYS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED CLASS. CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE BY 11:59 PM THE NIGHT BEFORE THE 7 DAY PERIOD. WE ARE SORRY, BUT WE CANNOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS.

Cooking classes are like tickets to a performance, concert, or sporting event: the show must go on, so we encourage you to send a substitute if you are unable to attend.

If you cannot attend class and can’t find a substitute, please let us know anytime during the 7-day period before class. If we are able to sell your seat(s) from a waiting list, we will issue you a store credit to be used for another class (not merchandise) during the next 12 months.

Due to the availability of ingredients, sometimes the chef must substitute recipes in class. And because of time constraints, not every recipe scheduled is necessarily prepared. We will provide the class with a packet of written recipes, but you are encouraged to make your own notes.

All classes are held in our classroom at Cooking at the Cottage, unless otherwise noted. Participation in a Cooking at the Cottage hands-on class places you in a typical cooking environment with inherent risk. By registering for a Cooking at the Cottage event, you agree to release Cooking at the Cottage and its staff, employees, and contractors from all liability arising from direct or indirect damages or injury. We reserve the right to substitute instructors in a given class, if necessary.

We want all of our students to have a great classroom experience, so please arrive on time, keep talking to a minimum during class, and silence your cell phone. You may wish to bring a sweater to class because the temperature in the classroom does vary.

If we cancel a class due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will be notified by phone or email as soon as the decision is made, and a credit for another class will be issued. However, if we hold a class, there will be NO CREDITS or REFUNDS due to the weather, whether you attend or not.

Don’t forget … all classes are held at Cooking at the Cottage, 3739 Lexington Rd., Louisville, KY 40207.

Thank you for your patronage, loyalty and friendship! We look forward to seeing you in our kitchen!
