FAQs
How much do cooking classes in Lincoln cost?
The price of cooking courses usually ranges between $59 and over $100 per person. However, it’s worth noting that this is just a guide and that several factors can impact the final price. These include the type of class and the date you book, with high-demand days like Labor Day typically commanding higher prices. The number in your party is another, since class prices are tiered based on group size.
You can get a rough idea of what you’ll pay from the per-person starting price listed on your chosen experience page. You can also reach out to our friendly Concierge team, who are always on hand and happy to help provide more detailed assistance.
Who are these cooking classes suitable for?
Don’t think that the city’s top cooking classes are reserved for those with lots of experience in the kitchen. If you’re completely new to the kitchen, you’ll find classes that promise to teach you the basics and set you on the path to foodie success. And if you’re more of an advanced home cook, you’ll find sessions that provide the foodie challenge you’re looking for.
Cooking lessons are also a great way of celebrating life’s most special moments. Perhaps you’re organizing a birthday bash, an anniversary celebration or a team building day. Either way, it’s fair to say that most people love great food, which means that everybody’s sure to get behind a cooking class!
What should I expect during a typical class?
The first thing to expect when you enrol in one of the city’s culinary classes is for your chef to provide everything for you, including all equipment and ingredients. In terms of the skills you’ll learn, they depend on the class you choose. You might spend your time making a full-course feast or focusing on one or two dishes, depending on the complexity of the cuisine.
In all cases, you’ll have the chance to gain sharp new skills and learn world food knowledge from your chef. You’ll also get to sit at the end of the class, reflect on the session with your classmates and share a gourmet meal of your own making.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
This entirely depends on the class you choose to take. For example, pasta making classes typically involve making and rolling fresh pasta dough, before filling it and simmering delectable sauces to pair with it. Similarly, if you enrol in a Parisian bistro cooking class, you can expect to get hands-on with the traditional ingredients and time-honored techniques to recreate your favorite French meals.
In all cases, your chef will also cover essentials like knife skills, ingredient preparation, seasoning and kitchen safety. These are foundational to the success of any home cook, setting you up for a lifetime of safe and delicious adventures in your own kitchen.
What are the benefits of taking a cooking class?
The benefits of cooking classes are many! Firstly, you’ll have the chance to add new recipes to your culinary repertoire and master the impressive kitchen skills required to make them. You’ll do so under the tutelage of an esteemed local chef, who’ll gladly share their hard-earned culinary secrets in order to help you level up your home cooking.
Perhaps the greatest benefit, however, is doing all of the above with your closest culinary companions. You’ll have a blast as you learn new cuisines together and share fascinating insights into world food culture. You’ll also forge unforgettable memories of the experience, memories that’ll last long after the final plates have been cleared.
What types of cooking classes can I choose from?
There are cooking experiences for absolutely everybody. That is, everybody with an interest in great food! Even if you’re completely new to the kitchen, there are beginner-friendly classes that’ll teach you essential skills and delicious recipes that are sure to set you on the path to culinary success. Equally, if you’re more of an advanced home cook in search of your next challenge, you’re sure to find a class that provides just that.
All classes are chef-led. Bringing more than a decade’s experience to the table, whether you want to learn to roll sushi, make fresh pasta or recreate your French bistro favorites, there’s really nobody in the city better qualified to teach you.
Where do the classes take place?
When you sign up for one of the city’s best cooking classes, you can choose where you’d like it to take place. If you’d like to learn at the chef’s own table, there are plenty of hosts across Lincoln just waiting to welcome you into their home kitchens. Consult the handy map on your chosen experience page to see where the host is located.
If you would rather host the session at your home or vacation rental, that’s fine too! All your chef needs is a clean and functional kitchen, plus enough space in which to conduct the class safely. Provided those are in place, your chef will gladly come to you.
