Dress Code
Chef’s uniforms should be worn on the day you are participating in the Hands-On Kitchen Workshops. If you do not have a chef coat, we will provide an apron. Kitchen Workshop attendees also need to wear full length pants and non-skid, low heeled closed toe shoes for these activities. Suggested dress code for all other activities is business casual attire. Northern California often experiences mild temperatures in April, with the evenings often becoming chilly, so come prepared with layers for warmer and cooler environments so that you can adjust your own temperature accordingly.
