Of course you are welcome to come by any time we are open to see the space and we can show you around. But if you are curious, you can have a little peek inside our space courtesy of Google. It shows one of our kitchens (we have two) and the front dining area. You can see it here.
KID'S BIRTHDAY PARTIES: When you reserve a kitchen for a birthday party we require a full deposit. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable (meaning rescheduling the event) within 45 days of the party date.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Create a Cook has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19.

Create a Cook is not a nut free facility. Any nuts that are on site are stored in enclosed containers. All pans, pots, bowls, etc are run through our ware washing machine which reaches sanitizing temperatures during the cycle. In the classes most recipes we select allow the option of including or excluding nuts and we set up for each child accordingly. For the birthday parties NONE of the recipes include nuts.
We also try to accommodate children with other allergies like milk allergies, sesame, soy, etc. As long as you let the Create a Cook staff know when you register your child that there are food allergies or dietary restrictions like no pork or no shellfish we will try to find a substitution for the student unless the recipe restricts it. For summer classes vegetarian is an option only if there is a second student who has the same restriction. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you indicate these issues when you register in the Comments/More Information field during the last step of the registration process, if we did not know at registration we might not be able to accommodate the allergy or restriction if we are informed on the day of the class.
Email us us or call at 617-795-2223 to discuss any of these issues further.
