Feast Like A Greek

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Chef Jamie kindly welcomed us into her home and provided a comfortable environment to experiment with flavors and enjoy developing a 3 course meal. This was a great date night activity that left us with tips and tricks we can bring into our own kitchen. Chef Jamie is a well seasoned professional whose expertise and sense of humor made for a fun evening in the kitchen. Thanks Chef!

The Best of Italian Favorites

Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!

We had a fantastic time with chef Kenneth. He helped us prepare a delicious meal and we learned a lot. He is also great with kids. We planned the event for my middle school aged son who loves cooking and he had a blast. 10/10 will definetly book again. Thank you!

Ocean and Land - Date Night

My husband and I enjoyed our time! The food turned out great! Chef Bradford was energetic, engaging and kind. It was our first cooking class and we didn’t know what to expect but we would definitely recommend. We made crab cakes, steak and a melted lava cake.

Every session contains a set of smaller lessons that help you bring your creations to life, skills such as proper knife use and effective flavor layering. You'll even find specialty courses that focus on masterful grilling and artisanal charcuterie creation. And thanks to courses covering steakhouse specialties, seafood favorites and European classics, you'll use your new talents to create dishes .
  • Connecting with your best friends, bonding with family, or teaming up with colleagues for a fun time is incredibly rewarding—especially while learning new skills you can use in your everyday life.

Work with top talent from around NYC while sharpening your skills, explore cultures and cuisines you've always wanted to sample, add new recipes to your personal cookbook, and more. You'll also enjoy the camaraderie of working side-by-side with fellow cooks who share your love of creating great food, whether you sign up for SoHo cooking courses or schedule classes in Brooklyn.
  • Choose from popular global cuisines like Italian, French and Mediterranean or pick something closer to home like NYC-style steakhouse and coastal seafood specialties. You can also check into specialty classes that hone in on sushi making, pasta making, cake decorating, artisan baking, desserts and more. With instructors drawing inspiration from restaurants around the city that rival the menus at spots like Scarpetta and Le Bernardin, you can select culinary classes in exciting contemporary dining options as well.
  • Most of the top cooking classes in NYC take place in either a premium third-party venue, the chef’s place, or your place. You may also find courses in which your chef instructor travels to a chosen venue or office space for onsite cooking experiences in your choice of locale. If the chef comes to your location, they will bring everything that is needed for the class from the equipment to the ingredients. Checking the venue image and destination map shown on each class page will clue you in on the location of the course, whether it's a baking workshop in Queens, a pasta lesson in Little Italy or a sushi class in Chelsea.
