Amanda D. says, "Chef Steph was absolutely amazing! She prepared dinner for our party of 30 for our family reunion. From the very beginning, she was very responsive and easy to work with, helping us create the perfect menu for our group.The prime rib was cooked to perfection and full of flavor and he mashed potatoes were absolutely out of this world! She truly had something for everyone, from homemade macaroni and cheese and chicken tenders that the toddlers loved to a delicious prime rib dinner for the adults, complete with appetizers and fresh salads. Everything was beautifully prepared, organized, and delicious. Chef Steph made our evening stress free and memorable, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We look forward to using Chef Steph again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional private chef!"See more

Pat P. says, "Note: we are not easy to please, especially me! However, Mike was careful to identify our food preferences, and any dietary conditions, as well as identifying our collective love of chocolate. Mike accommodated all our requirements/wishes to come up with a menu that was a blend of what we wanted and a delightful push into a realm of fine dining that we had not expected. The unexpected? Mike came to the dining room prior to each course to talk about the food/wine pairing during the service. Also, way beyond expectations? The food was awesome. WOW! He picked out the food fresh from the Farmer's Market (Fish, Veggies, Salad, ++). He cooked every dish to perfection. And he culminated the meal with an incredible set of sundaes PLUS home-baked cookies. Mike is a great chef: attentive to both what he cooks and those who eat the meal. He made our meal a delightful and delicious EVENT. You and your guests will LOVE working with him and eating his creations."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

You can take private cooking classes to have fun, to learn a new skill, to improve your health, to bond with your partner, to enjoy a playful first date or to have a unique birthday party experience. Nationally the average cost of private cooking lessons ranges between $100 and $150. Prices can vary, depending on where you live, the type of cooking class you’re taking, the ingredients the chef provides, and the reputation of the chef. Cooking classes with Anthony Bourdain will clearly cost more than classes with a local restaurant owner. The number of people in the class will also affect the cost, with group lessons often priced per person to account for the cost of ingredients. For example, for group lessons, a brunch workshop may cost an average of $70 per person, a steak dinner with sides could cost an average of $80-$85 per person, and a sushi lesson could cost an average of $100 per person. Ingredients play a major role in cost, as the chef will pre-purchase the food you will be working with. Weekday classes will usually cost less than weekend classes.
