Lexis F. says, "We hired Chef Christopher for my friend’s bachelorette party, and the experience was unforgettable. From the beginning, Chris was responsive, professional, and brought a great sense of humor that made the evening even more enjoyable. He hand-crafted a thoughtful, customized menu that perfectly suited our group. We started with flavorful chicken satay and fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, followed by a beautifully cooked rockfish paired with a wasabi sauce and miso glaze. Dessert was a light, fruity passion fruit cheesecake that was the perfect finishing touch. Our signature craft cocktail was absolutely out of this world, and the service throughout the night was flawless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate a special occasion with amazing food and a memorable experience!"See more

Cassie G. says, "We had the most incredible private chef experience with Chrissy for a special birthday dinner, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment the evening began, everything was thoughtfully curated and executed with care. The highlight of the night was the pork dish — cooked to absolute perfection. Tender, flavorful, and beautifully balanced, it truly stole the show. Every course was thoughtful and perfect for summer and it felt like we were dining at a five-star restaurant in our own home. The wine pairings were also spot-on and elevated each dish perfectly, adding an extra layer of indulgence to the evening. It was a seamless and intimate experience we won’t forget. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate something special in style. Chrissy was responsive, on time and very professional. We look forward to hiring her again for dinner parties!"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.
