How it works

  1. Sign-up for a rodeo
    Most classes are free to attend, with a suggested donation per head. 100% of proceeds from each event go to the cause of the host’s choice.
  2. Gather ingredients
    The easy(ish) part! Everything you need is listed on the event page.
  3. Join the rodeo
    The class is hosted video-chat style in real time with the chef, baker, cook, etc. We’ve been using Zoom so far (no account needed).
  4. Cook together, ask questions, and have fun!
    The best part of the class is struggling together!
  5. Proceeds go to good causes
    Other folks benefit because you supported a good cause—and that’s what this is really all about!

FAQ

  1. What do I need to participate?
    It's super simple — all you need is the ingredients and a way to video chat via a phone, tablet, or computer.
  2. Is this a cooking demo?
    No! This is a real cooking class where you will cook alongside chefs and have the ability to ask them questions directly. Trust us, watching and cooking with these incredible chefs will make you a better cook. We think it's a pretty awesome experience :)
  3. How much does it cost to join?
    We offer multiple donation options per event. Additionally, we have 5 free tickets per event so that folks unable to donate right now can join.
  4. If I can't attend the event, can I donate and get a recording?
    Yes! Everyone that gets a ticket will receive a recipe and recording of the event afterwards.
  5. Can I donate after the event is over?
    Yes! We keep donation pages live up to 24 hours after the event is over so that you can donate more if you're inspired to do so.
  6. How do you choose organizations to support?
    100% of proceeds from each event go towards a cause of the host’s choice—this might be a Gofundme to support their restaurant employees or a larger charity organization such as City Harvest.
  7. Why is it called a rodeo?
    Because these classes are fun and unpredictable and a little crazy. It’s a good time!
