The Blue Ribbon School offers cooking classes at Seattle WA in two distinct formats. One of the formats is Instructional Intensive while the other format is Cooking Party.

- In the instructional intensive format cooking classes, each student executes every recipe and thus one can learn all the components and techniques to the dish. The demonstrations are given by the instructor which the participants follow in groups of 3-4 people. The class generally ends with a dinner party of all the dishes that are so prepared in the class.

- The cooking party format is more casual than the other format. However, you can spend the same amount of hands on cooking experience time and can also have a lot of educational fun. Recipes are generally prepared in small groups when the instructor guides and instructs the class as a whole.
