David C. says, "We have had Jessica cater three private platted dinners at our home, each event served 25-30 persons. All of the guests have enjoyed fine dining at restaurants in San Francisco and globally for many years. Our ambition was not to replicate a restaurant but to have friends to our home for cocktails and dinner where the food, wine and conversation blended into a memorable afternoon and evening. Jessica’s culinary and social skills made each of these dinners highly successful. Cocktail appetizers were splendid and garnered attention so that when the homemade bread and fresh greens launched dinner, all our guests started asking for Jessica’s contact information. We have had a variety of main courses, duck, lamb, halibut and gnocchi, among others, served alternately family style and individually. Jessica engaged with our guests and everyone enjoyed speaking to her about her history, food preparation and presentation. The food she served received rave reviews from all of our guests. Her staff has proven capable and clean-up has been excellent. We expect to have Chef Jessica remain an integral partner in our dinner party planning moving forward."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.
