Who are these cooking classes suitable for?

What should I expect during a typical class?

You'll have access to all the ingredients, tools and supplies required to complete your chosen menu while sharing space with fellow cooks looking to expand their gourmet skills just like you. The no-pressure atmosphere makes it easy to hone your skills and may even offer a chance to dig into what you've created after instruction is finished.

What cooking techniques and skills will I master?

Try your hand at making masterful macarons, take your taste buds on a journey to the bistros of Paris or recreating rustic Tuscan fare using time-honored regional methods. Or keep things closer to home and learn how to get every bit of goodness out of your grill or your cast iron cookware. There are even local cooking experiences that help you make the most of coastal California seafood to bring regional flavor up close. With sessions covering everything from the latest in cake decorating technique to classical sushi prep, you can slice the vast and varied world of culinary creativity one dish at a time.

For domestic dishes, discover how the experts create authentic California fare, master Southern comfort cooking specialties or explore the East Coast's most sumptuous creations. You can learn the inner workings of a classic surf-and-turf dinner or bring the best of bistro dining into your home cooking line-up, similar to an experience at Marche Moderne or Pelican Grill. Expand your personal cooking book by learning to create traditional sushi dishes from a local master or give your cookie decorating game a sugary makeover with specialty sessions that focus on timeless techniques.

Where do the classes take place?

With cooking classes near you cropping up in every corner of town, you're always just a short drive away from the savory action. Most classes take place in either your place, your chef's place or a separate venue that supports culinary instruction.
