Hi there! I’m Chef Alexandra, and I truly believe that great food is one of life’s greatest joys. My work as a private chef is all about creating meaningful dining experiences — meals that not only taste incredible but bring people together around the table. With over 1 5 years of professional culinary experience, I specialize in crafting fully customized menus that reflect your unique tastes, dietary preferences, and event style. Whether it’s an elegant multi-course dinner, a relaxed family-style gathering, or a special celebration, I handle everything from menu planning and grocery shopping to plating and cleanup. You get to sit back, relax, and enjoy every bite. My cooking philosophy centers on freshness, creativity, and connection. I love drawing inspiration from global cuisines and local ingredients to create dishes that are vibrant, balanced, and full of flavor. Every event is a chance to tell a story through food — and I take pride in making that story yours. I’d love to bring the joy of a personalized, restaurant-quality dining experience to your home or event. Let’s plan something unforgettable together.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.
