His and hers aprons are available for an extra cost upon request.

My friends and I recently hired Gotham Caterers for a bachelorette brunch. The group lesson was wonderful and we really enjoyed snacking on freshly baked cookies and fruit while we cooked. Our lesson lasted about an hour, which was perfect because we were ready to eat. Lauren finished whatever cooking we hadn't gotten to and served us each our beautifully prepared brunch. It was delicious and after almost 20 years of cooking omelettes and french toast, I finally know the proper technique!
