Booked the class The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth

Chef Kenneth was amazing! I booked this class to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a blast. We loved everything on the menu - particularly the gnocchi. He also left us with leftovers which were greatly appreciated. Cannot recommend Chef Kenneth enough :)

Booked the class Fresh Italian Gnocchi From Scratch with Chef Jamie VK

This cooking class was an amazing experience! The instruction was very professional and clear, and we learned so many new tips and techniques. The order of preparation was perfectly planned, so everything flowed smoothly. The chef was not only highly skilled but also fun, warm, and engaging, which made the whole experience even better! Highly recommend this class- prefect as a gift, date night, or a special experience!

Fresh pasta is only the beginning

Italian cooking classes in NYC introduce you to the traditions behind the food you enjoy. You’ll get hands-on with the preparation and learn why classic Italian cooking gives each step time and attention. A good sauce or carefully handled dough can be worth slowing down for.

In a multicourse class, learn how to prepare the dishes and time the cooking so each course is ready to serve. Start with a menu featuring a favorite dish and discover new techniques as you prepare the other courses. You’ll have ideas for individual dishes to cook again or a full Italian dinner to share.

Good Italian food is meant to be shared

Spend an evening cooking and eating Italian food at a chef’s place, a test kitchen or a premium venue available through Cozymeal. Public classes welcome you alongside other guests, while a private booking keeps the experience just for your party. Some private classes accommodate as few as two guests. Ingredients and equipment are included, and you’ll sit down to enjoy the dishes after preparing them with the chef.

Invite friends over for a private Italian cooking class at home. The chef brings the ingredients and equipment and guides you through the menu, so you can cook alongside your guests. Prepare dinner together, then gather around your own table to share it.

If you’d like wine with your Italian dinner, check your chosen class’s details page for its BYOB policy before bringing drinks.

Find an Italian cooking class on Cozymeal that gives you something new to bring to your own table.
