Lily M. says, "I can’t recommend Julia highly enough as a cooking instructor. I was looking for someone patient and encouraging to help my son build confidence and basic skills in the kitchen, and Julia was the perfect fit. She brought a combination of expertise, professionalism, and a warm, engaging personality to every lesson. Her genuine passion for teaching made a big impression, and she and my son connected right away. Over just five weeks, he learned far more than I expected—cooking a variety of meals and desserts, and even showing new enthusiasm for helping out in the kitchen. If you’re looking for someone who teaches with kindness, builds trust, and truly inspires, Julia is exceptional. We’re incredibly grateful and would love to work with her again."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.
