Do gifts for Chicca's Cooking Club expire?
No, gift certificates are not restricted to a specific season. Recipients can use their gift for the season in which it was purchased or join any future season when enrollment is open. Enrollment periods occur for two weeks at the beginning of April, August, and December. Please note that it’s not possible to join a season once it has already begun and registrations are closed.
While our recipe offerings may change each season, a gifted membership provides access to a library of over 90 class replay videos from past seasons. Each class includes a detailed recipe, a list of tools and ingredients, and a video walkthrough with Chicca.
For any questions, please contact club@cookingintuscany.cc
Will you email my recipient?
Once you purchase a gift certificate, you will be able to download a PDF gift certificate immediately after completing the purchase and in the confirmation email. You’ll share directly the PDF gift certificate with your gift recipient. It is your responsibility to contact the recipient and share the instructions we provide in the PDF so that they can sign themselves up on our website. After that, they’ll start receiving email communication from us.
General information about classes
When are the live cooking classes held?
Online classes will be on Saturdays around lunchtime in the United States, and dinner time in Italy. Dates for our next season’s classes are: April 19, May 24, June 7 and 21, July 12 and 26
What time will the classes be?
Our schedule allows for mainland U.S. time zones to participate around lunchtime, while it’s evening in Italy. Classes start 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 7:30pm Italy and go for 60-90 minutes.
When will I know what ingredients to purchase for the classes?
The full recipe and list of ingredients for each class are already published on the class page, so you can start to prepare for future classes as soon as you enroll. You will also receive a shopping list by email about one week in advance.
What if I miss a live cooking class or have to leave early?
A video recording will be provided for each class. That way you can watch the replay whenever is most convenient for you.
How does it work? Do I need a special program to participate in the membership?
Cooking classes will be held on Zoom. This requires a quick and easy download, but you do not need a special Zoom account to participate.
The video lessons library, recipes, and live class information for the Club will be hosted on this website. Members will have a username and password to access these private webpages.
The best way to interact with Chicca throughout the week will be through the Club’s exclusive Facebook group (optional). Important Club communications will also be sent out by email.
Will the classes be taught in English?
Yes. Chicca teaches in English and co-host, Denise, will facilitate in English.
