WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Washington, D.C.
Lina K.

Learning from the chef was great. The food was excellent and the company of other participants added to the experience
Zane G.
05/17/2026
Amazing experience overall. Made ceviche, empanadas, arepas, and quinoa salad, and everything turned out great. The chef made the class fun, relaxed, and easy to follow, even for beginners. Favorite part was trying all the different South American flavors at the end. Definitely doing another class again soon.

Chef Li was so great! She taught us the entire process for soup dumplings...from making to dumpling dough, to the filling, to the soup. She was very attentive and I learned so much about technique and purpose. Highly recommend!!

First time doing a cooking class and as nervous as we were it was super comfortable working with Jordan. No matter your experience he had everyone involved at every step, and we learned a lot throughout the night. I can't cook rice to save my life but now I can make paella (no big deal). We will absolutely book another class not just with this site (bc the possibilities are endless) but would love to work with Jordan again.
