Out of Thyme

This kitchen studio isn’t going easy on its students just because they’re virtual now. With two to three virtual classes per month—each are about two hours long—you can expect the same tips and tricks and one-on-one time with the instructor as you’d get in person. And they even host classes for kids.

Unlike many other classes, you get to set the menu to whatever interests you.
