Christine P. says, "If you’re looking for a thoughtful + talented chef for your upcoming event, book Destiny asap!! Backstory: We recently hosted a 40th birthday celebration and were so fortunate to have Destiny as our private chef for an intimate dinner of 16 close friends. I interviewed six different chefs, and Destiny stood out right away on our initial phone call. She asked thoughtful questions about our event, provided multiple menu options, and was timely with all correspondence. I felt confident that the dinner would be great, but what Destiny curated was next level delicious!! Our entire group was blown away with what she created (not said lightly from a few foodies in the group + myself whose parents are both professional chefs). She put together a beautiful family style spread, had everything ready on time, and left our kitchen spotless. Having her cater our event was a highlight of the weekend. BIG THANK YOU to Destiny and her supportive dad (who came to be her assistant). Like I said, BOOK HER. You’ll be so glad you did!"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.
