Athena B. says, "I contacted Chef Kel on Thumbtack about a birthday dinner for four, for my husband. Kel was very responsive, and made things easy for me. I have never worked with a professional Chef, and the planning was stress-free, with Kel making expert suggestions. We communicated by text and by phone call, and a week or so before the dinner, he texted me a fancy menu card. It is the little things like this that made me feel that this was going to be an awesome event, and my husband and I were very excited. Chef Kel and Chef Tannar came over last night with food to prepare and beautiful dishes for the meal. They were very polite, warm and professional, and you could tell that they were experts in their field. Our two guests arrived and we had an amazing appetizer, with wine, a pasta dish that was out of this world, a main course, and beautiful dessert. Everything was handmade and salmon and steak was cooked to our preferences. Each dish was beautifully presented and so good! The service was exceptional and it was hard to believe that this meal was made in our tiny condo kitchen. Chef Kel and Tannar left the kitchen clean, and we have some leftovers from this wonderful event. I highly recommend Kel and Tannar for providing an elevated, yet down to earth dining experience!"See more

Jason B. says, "Chef Cedric and his team at Soul Bistro Catering were a pleasure to work with. I was able to hire him on short notice (I first messaged him less than five days before our event took place) and he put together a fantastic menu for our holiday party. He and his assistant showed up punctually, prepared a beautiful spread of items, and arrived the day after the event to clean up and take back their decorations and serving dishes. The whole process required no work on my part, and the food was a huge hit. Every item was unique and delicious, especially the brie and cranberry bites and the small sandwiches. I would strongly recommend The Soul Bistro Catering for anyone looking for a quality, professional caterer."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do private cooking lessons cost?

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.
