Local Business Caters to Dating World with Singles Cooking Classes

Speed dating doesn’t always work, so try out this new alternative: The Singles Cooking Connection at the Food Evolution. They’re offering a 3-hour cooking class for singles to meet up, cook an organic meal from scratch and just chat.

“The idea for this cooking class is to create a place for singles to come and enjoy a fun night out, make some new friends and perhaps spark a love connection in the process,” said Diane Hoch, owner of the Food Evolution.

This monthly series starts this month and here’s the process:

• The first two weeks of each month is the open application time period during which the Food Evolution will accept applications for singles cooking classes.
• It’s a first come first serve basis and registrants will be notified the third week of the month via email and/or telephone the date and time of the class you have been offered to join based upon your specifications.
• After you respond back and accept the invitation, you’ll have 48 hours to formally sign up and pre-pay for the class
• The cooking class will be the last week of each month. Those that do not get into a class after applying will be at the top of the list for the following month’s classes.
• At the end of each class, you can choose whether or not to share your information with the rest of the class and the Food Evolution sends your email out to the other class participants.

“Singles will be grouped together based upon similarities in age, residential location, and perhaps food preferences, if there is enough of a request to create a class for it,” said Hoch. Food preferences include: Eat all, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan. You can pick your preferred availability as well. Classes run from 7-10 p.m. Monday to Friday and 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday.

Enrollment is limited to 16 people and will be equally divided between the sexes. So it’ll be eight men, eight women, or if less apply, it’ll be six men, six women.

All applications are private and kept confidential and pictures of the applicant can be uploaded with the application.

“In this class we will prepare a beautiful and nutritionally saavy meal to dine on from soup or salad, main course and dessert,” Hoch said. “We cannot serve alcohol, but you may BYOB. All of our instructors love great food, so be prepared to dine on a delicious and healthy meal that will leave you wanting to come back for another class.”

Private group events may also be created. For more information or to apply, go to their website and click on the tab in the top right corner.
