ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Cook’s Culinary Collective is working to make this website and our in-person experiences easier to use and access for as many people as possible.
I continue to review the site for accessibility issues, including color contrast, heading structure, image descriptions, and screen-reader compatibility, and make improvements as they are identified.
If you encounter a barrier while using this website, or need information in a different format, please contact me at chefshannon@cooksculinarycollective.com. Tell me what page or information you were trying to access and what would be helpful.
For cooking classes and private events, please contact me before booking if you have accessibility needs or need an accommodation. I’ll talk through the class format, kitchen setup, and what can reasonably be accommodated for your group.
Some website features are provided through Wix or other integrated services and may have accessibility limitations outside my direct control. I will still do my best to help you access the information or service you need.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
