We announce classes approximately one month in advance at the beginning of each month. For example, within the first week of January (if not on the first day), we post the class schedule for the month of February on our website. We will inform our guests via mail-blast which day we will go live—typically, the 1st of each month at noon.
*The best way to keep informed about upcoming classes and events is to subscribe to our mailing list.
Heirloom Kitchen prides itself in sourcing ingredients with integrity. When possible we use organic/local produce, dairy, grains, poultry and meat. We have a relationship with Local 130 Seafood, Harvest Drop, Caputo Brothers Creamery, Hauser Hill Farms, Llama Mama Good Farm, Blue Moon Acres, Pat LaFrieda, and Oak Grove Plantation just to to name a few of our sources.
While each class is different, typically everyone will have a station with a cutting board, the necessary utensils, and an apron to wear during class. Additionally, a post-class email which includes the recipes covered during class is sent to each student.
We are BYO; however, we are also a showroom for Dominico Winery, which enables us to offer their award-winning wines by the bottle at retail prices! Dominico is a family owned and operated boutique winery located in San Carlos, California specializing in Italian varietals. Visit our Restaurant page and scroll down to view the wine list.
We are always happy to accommodate Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free diners. We offer a Three Course or Five Course Vegan menu which can appease vegans, vegetarians and dairy aversions. In regards to Gluten Free, we are happy to make accommodations; however, please note that we are not a certified gluten free kitchen. If choosing our set Five Course Chef Tasting menu, we can work around allergies. Alternatively, we encourage our guests to participate in the Three Course Prix Fixe menu which will allow the guest to pick and choose their journey, and please, do not hesitate to let your server know, and our Chef will create a dish based on the seasonal ingredients on hand.
Heirloom Kitchen is designed as multifaceted culinary center. We are a Chef’s Table restaurant Thursday through Sunday when restaurants are most successful, and during the first half of the week, traditionally slow restaurant nights, we are here as a resource to the community, hosting public cooking classes, private events, corporate team builds, etc.
This helps us keep things fresh as well as create and maintain balance—in our staffing, in our hours, in our stress levels, in our quality of life!
Our events range from a girls-night-out to team-building corporate events. We can use our space for networking groups, luncheons, supper-clubs, surprise birthday parties, bridal showers, bachelorette/bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners, and wedding celebrations—just to name a few.
• Featured Chef Instructor, Culinary Assistant, Server(s), and Dishwasher
• Our selection of French china, flatware, glassware and linens
• Ambiance with dimmed lighting with assorted candles and table top arrangements
• The privacy of our entire space with the ability to create your own intimate environment
DJs and small bands are typically allowed when coordinated and confirmed with us ahead of time.
A typical event runs three hours. If you would like to have an event lasting longer than three hours, there will be an additional charge of 20% of your priced out event per hour.
No, at the moment we do not. Our team is mighty but small and we do not have the bandwidth to take on any off site catering.
We are BYO; however, we are also a showroom for Dominico Winery, which enables us to offer their award-winning wines by the bottle at retail prices! Dominico is a family owned and operated boutique winery located in San Carlos, California specializing in Italian varietals. Our wine list is enclosed in the package.
If you know what you are looking for, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you! Most of our clientele come to us because of our style of food and presentation. We encourage clients to put trust in our team and allow us present seasonal dishes that are currently evolving on our menu.
Yes! We have a great relationship with Whole Foods Market in Marlboro (just 4 miles south of Heirloom Kitchen) and they make beautiful custom arrangements. We also love AP Greenery in Asbury Park. The owner, Zac, sources beautiful flowers and plants.
Most classes are about 2.5 hours.
Our starting age for classes is 13 years of age. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children who are not old enough to participate in the class. The pricing for the classes are as published and do not change based on age. If a parent/guardian accompanies their child to a class, they are welcome to stay and wait; however, they must have purchased a seat for themselves if they wish to participate.
The short answer is: No.
We are set up as a residential kitchen, so classes are oriented around a single (albeit large) kitchen island where our chefs will instruct and demonstrate the relative techniques while inviting plenty of hands-on opportunities.
The recipes are cooked communally in collaboration with our chefs culminating in a class meal shared around our farm table.
Yes, a post-class email which includes the recipes covered during class is sent to each student.
We offer an exclusive chef’s table seating around our kitchen island, where guests can watch Chef Viana and his team prepare and artfully present their dishes, as well as communal seating at our Farm Table (which may be reserved for larger parties) and a traditional dining room.
There is no extra charge to sit at the Chef’s Counter, and there is not a special tasting menu; our menu is the same for the entire restaurant.
Dominico is a family owned and operated boutique winery located in San Carlos, California specializing in Italian varietals. Their grapes are sourced from all over California.
We typically mail gift cards out within two to three business days. You will receive a physical gift card, a printed receipt, and additional Heirloom Kitchen collateral. Unfortunately, you cannot print gift cards from the website.
