FAQs
How much do cooking classes in Plano cost?
While cooking lessons usually cost between $59 and over $100 per person, this is only a guide. The final price can vary depending on a few factors, including the type of class you choose and the season in which you book it, with high-demand dates like Labor Day typically commanding higher prices. The number of people in your party will also have an impact on the price, since class prices are tiered based on group size.
To get a basic idea of cost, view the per-person starting price on your chosen experience page. Or, for more detailed assistance, why not reach out to our friendly and helpful Concierge team?
Who are these cooking classes suitable for?

Even if you’re new to the kitchen, you’ll find classes that cover the basics that no aspiring cook should be without. If you’re more advanced, you’ll also find classes that present the next foodie challenge you’re looking for.
These experiences are also great for life’s most special occasions. Whether it’s a birthday bash, an anniversary celebration or a team-building day, since everyone loves great food, everybody’s bound to get behind the chance to learn to cook it.
What should I expect during a typical class?
When you sign up for one of the city’s best cooking classes, you can expect everything to be provided for you.

You can also expect the chance to sit at the end of the session with your classmates, reflect on your learnings and enjoy a gourmet meal of your own making.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
This is largely dependent on the class you choose to take. For example, sushi-making classes will see you getting hands-on with the specialized equipment, traditional ingredients and time-honored techniques required to recreate your favorite sushi rolls. Similarly, pasta-making courses will involve making and rolling fresh pasta dough, filling it and simmering delicious sauces to pair with your creations.
In all cases, your chef will cover basics like knife skills, kitchen safety, ingredient preparation and even seasoning. This means that whatever your chosen cuisine, you’re guaranteed to end the class as a more accomplished and competent home cook than when you started.

With their help, you’ll also learn to master impressive new kitchen skills and delicious new recipes which are sure to become the talk of your dinner party table.
Perhaps the greatest benefit, however, is sharing all of this with your closest foodie companions. Over the shared joy of great food and learning something new, you’ll forge unforgettable memories together that are sure to last long after the final plates have been cleared.
What types of cooking classes can I choose from?
The first thing to say here is that there are cooking courses available for aspiring cooks of all experience levels. If you’re a beginner, you’ll find classes that cover foundational skills. If you’re more advanced and in search of a new culinary challenge, you’ll also find plenty of experiences that provide that, too.
All classes are led by renowned chefs just waiting to share their most closely-guarded culinary secrets. That means that whether you’re learning to roll authentic sushi, whip up Tuscan trattoria-worthy pasta or menu items from your favorite Parisian bistro, there’s nobody better suited to the job of teaching you.

Cooking experiences can take place wherever you’d like them to! If you’d like to learn right at the chef’s table, there are hosts across the city who love welcoming eager epicureans into their home kitchens. Just consult the map on your preferred experience page to see where the chef is located.
Alternatively, you could also host the class at your home or vacation rental.
