The Spicy Gourmet operates as both a retail spice shop and a cooking school. The retail side offers a wide array of high-quality spices, herbs, and culinary ingredients sourced from around the world, catering to home cooks and professional chefs alike.
The cooking school component provides hands-on cooking classes covering various cuisines and techniques. Classes are designed for adults and are suitable for different skill levels, including beginners. They offer public classes as well as private events for groups, such as date nights, couples’ evenings, corporate team-building, and private parties.
The classes focus on practical skills and diverse culinary themes, ranging from specific regional cuisines like Italian, Thai, and Mexican to technique-focused sessions like knife skills and pasta making, plus seasonal and holiday cooking. Participants work together in a kitchen setting to prepare dishes, culminating in enjoying the meal they created. The establishment allows guests to bring their own beverages to enjoy with the meal.
