What should I expect during a typical class?
The first thing to expect when you book culinary classes is for absolutely everything to be provided. That includes all ingredients along with any equipment required to make your chosen menu. In terms of the skills you can expect to learn, that depends on the class.
Whichever experience you decide to book, the classes offer the chance to pick the brains of a renowned local chef, gaining valuable insights into cuisines from around the world and the cultures that shaped them.

What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
What the best cooking classes have in common is that they each cover fundamental skills, like the best way to use a knife, prepare ingredients and even season your food.
You’ll also learn specialized skills depending on your class theme. For example, if you opt to learn the art of authentic Japanese sushi, you can expect to get hands-on with the niche ingredients and specialized rice-rolling tools required to master your favorite morsels. Equally, if you’re hoping to make nonna proud with homemade pasta, you’ll likely spend time learning to roll out your pasta dough, whipping up a sumptuous filling and simmering a sauce to pair it with.
What are the benefits of taking a cooking class?
The top cooking classes come with a whole host of benefits. One is the chance to learn recipes from cuisines around the world and master the skills required to make them. What’s more, whether you’re taking the class with your friends, team mates or your significant other, you’re sure to love sharing the experience with like-minded foodies, especially when you sit at the end of the class to enjoy a meal of your own making.
Perhaps the biggest benefit is the chance to learn under the tutelage of a renowned local chef, picking their brains, gaining insights into global cuisines and learning their most closely-guarded culinary secrets. In doing so, you’re sure to find the inspiration you need to take your home cooking to the next level.

In either case, you’ll benefit from the guidance of an esteemed local chef, learning from their experience in order to sharpen your skills and shake up your weekly meal routine. From learning to roll your own authentic Japanese sushi and making your own fresh pasta to preparing your favorite French bistro dishes, when you decide to take cooking courses in the Hawaiian paradise of Oahu, it’s all possible.

This is really up to you. From Kaimuki and Waikiki to the North Shore, there are hosts across Oahu just waiting to welcome you into their homes, offering you the chance to learn new cuisines right at the chef’s table. You can consult the handy map on your chosen experience’s web page to see precisely where your class takes place.
