If you are not interested in earning the Holistic Culinary Certificate, you can pick and choose which culinary workshops you’d like to take.

You are responsible for informing CSNN staff of any food allergies or special needs prior to attending the culinary workshops. This will be indicated on your registration form and in the waiver form that you sign. Instructors are able to make accommodations for you so that you can safely participate in the classes.
