The best cooking classes usually cost between $59 and over $100 per person. However, this amount can vary based on a few factors. These include the type of class you choose and the season in which you take it, with key dates like Labor Day usually commanding strong demand and therefore higher prices. The number in your party will also have an impact, since class prices are tiered based on group size. For a rough estimate of what you’ll pay, check the starting price on your chosen experience’s web page. For more in-depth assistance, you can always reach out to our helpful Concierge team.

What should I expect during a typical class?
When you book culinary classes, the first thing to expect is to have everything provided for you, including all ingredients and equipment. In terms of the skills you’ll learn, that really depends on the class. You might learn to prepare a full-course feast or one or two show-stopping dishes, depending on the complexity of your chosen dishes. Skills aside, you can expect the chance to pick the brains of an expert chef and gain fascinating insights into the cultures and traditions that shaped your chosen cuisine. And at the end, before you leave, you and your classmates will have the chance to sit, reflect on the session and enjoy a gourmet meal of your own making.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
This is really dependent on the class you choose. For example, if you decide to take an Italian pasta-making class, you’ll get hands-on with the recipes and techniques required to roll fresh dough, fill it and simmer sauces to pair with it. Equally, if you opt for a sushi-making class, you can expect to learn all about the traditional ingredients and techniques required to master your favorite rolls. More broadly, most classes cover essentials like knife skills, ingredient preparation, kitchen safety and even seasoning. In other words, whatever your chosen cuisine, you’re guaranteed to finish the class as a better cook than when you started.
What are the benefits of taking a cooking class?
The benefits of enrolling in culinary classes are many. Perhaps the most obvious is mastering a host of delicious new recipes and the kitchen skills required to make them. More than that, you’ll get to share the experience with those you love most. Whether it’s a group of friends, family, colleagues or your significant other, you’ll forge unforgettable memories by learning together under the guidance of a renowned chef. By the end of the class, you’ll have all added a few gourmet strings to your bows. What’s more, whether you plan to shake up your meal routine or become the talk of your dinner party table, you’ll leave with the inspiration and culinary knowledge you need to continue your foodie adventures at home.
What types of cooking classes can I choose from?
There are classes for aspiring cooks of all levels. If you’re a beginner, you’ll find cooking experiences that cover foundational skills like kitchen safety, ingredient preparation and knife handling, setting you up with the essentials for a lifetime of culinary success. Similarly, if you’re an experienced cook and are looking for a new challenge, you’re sure to find experiences that’ll provide just that. All are led by renowned chefs with over a decade’s industry experience. In other words, whether you’re learning to make fresh pasta, roll sushi or master your French bistro favorites, there’s really nobody better qualified to teach you.
Where do the classes take place?
When you book one of the city’s top cooking classes, it’s really up to you where the experience takes place. For example, there are plenty of hosts across the city just waiting to welcome you into their home kitchens, giving you the chance to learn right at the chef’s table. Simply consult the handy map on your chosen experience page to see where it takes place. Or, if you’d prefer to host the class at your home or vacation rental, that’s fine too! All that’s required is a clean and functional kitchen, plus enough space in which to conduct the class safely. Provided you have those in place, your chef will gladly come to you.
