Michael M. says, "We hired Chef AZ and his team to cook for a long overdue reunion trip with my college buddies, nine guys, all with wives and kids now, getting together for the first time in 15 years. This weekend meant a lot to us. We wanted it to feel special, effortless, and memorable. I will be honest. At first I wondered how it would feel having a chef and team staying in the house with us. Would it feel awkward? Would it change the dynamic? It did the opposite. Chef AZ and his team integrated themselves so seamlessly. They knew exactly when to step in and when to give us space. They read the room perfectly all weekend. Every single meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, was cooked with intention, care, and real thought behind it. The menus felt curated around what we were doing each day. The food was outstanding, but what truly elevated the experience was their energy. Their vibe. Their presence. They were not just cooking. They understood why we were there. They supported the spirit of the weekend. They treated us like family. They set every table beautifully, handled every dish, and left us with nothing to think about except enjoying time together. There were always thoughtful surprises, perfectly timed refreshing drinks, moments where they shared dishes from their own culture with genuine excitement, and little touches that made everything feel elevated and personal. We even had one extremely picky eater in our group with no vegetables and very plain preferences, and they accommodated him without hesitation, preparing separate meals that made him feel completely taken care of. For context, I am a professionally trained chef and restaurant owner. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 15 years, have opened and operated multiple restaurants, and have spent my career focused on food quality, service standards, and the overall guest experience. I understand what excellence looks like behind the scenes and on the plate. Chef AZ and his team delivered at the highest level. They did not just cook for us. They elevated one of the most meaningful weekends of our lives. I cannot recommend them highly enough."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.
