Gemma G. says, "We hired Chef Jose for a private dinner and were blown away by the entire experience. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The evening itself exceeded all expectations — every dish was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. Chef Jose’s attention to detail, timing, and ability to create a relaxed yet elevated dining experience made the night unforgettable. He took care of everything, allowing us to fully enjoy our time with guests. His warm personality, culinary creativity, and clear passion for what he does truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and soul to the table, look no further. I would 100% recommend Chef Jose and can’t wait for the next opportunity to work with him again."See more

Chris B. says, "We hired Erica for our friend’s wedding anniversary celebration. Erica came highly recommended, and really lived up to her reputation. We provided input on the food, but Erica finalized the menu. Each dish was exceptional- the guests were raving. Her talent and professionalism made the evening truly special. Erica’s pricing aligned well with quotes from other private chefs we considered, but her quality and attention to detail truly stood out. The only hiccup during the event was an issue with the florist, which was entirely unrelated to Erica’s work and didn’t at all detract from the evening. We couldn’t be happier with Erica’s menu and service, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, reliable private chef for their special event."See more

Ashlee Grover says, "Chef Q has completely transformed the way we experience meals at home. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly flexible and attentive, always taking the time to adjust menus based on our preferences and thoughtfully selecting ingredients that support our personal health and lifestyle. Its clear that he puts genuine care into every detail.What truly sets him apart is the experience he creates. His plating is impeccable, turning an ordinary weekday into something that feels like a fine dining experience in our own home. His range is equally impressive. Weve enjoyed everything from elegant French dishes to bold, flavorful Thai cuisine, and as someone who loves to enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, I can say he absolutely nails it every time.Beyond his culinary talent, Chef Q is a pleasure to work with. He is kind, professional, and incredibly easygoing, which makes the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We also appreciate the respect he shows for our home. After every visit, the kitchen is spotless and even more organized than when he arrived.Importantly, he is also someone we trust completely in our home, which gives us real peace of mind. We highly recommend Chef Q, best private chef in Miami!"See more

K M-Yi says, "Tomas and his team were wonderful to work with! He was very communicative, professional, and easily accessible for any questions. We chose him for a bachelorette in Miami (15 people) and we couldnt have been more grateful the food was delicious and the presentation was amazing (we even had leftovers!). Keep in the mind that the entrees are sushi rolls and not nigiri/sashimi! His team brought all the cooking tools and supplies. The cooked food was made fresh on site and each course was explained in detail. They did an excellent job breaking down and cleaning up afterwards. They were friendly and customer service was outstanding. Highly recommend!"See more

Aaron T. says, "Chef Jessica hosted a phenomenal private birthday party for our daughter! I told her my daughter loved baking and was in to Harry Potter and she instantly got to brainstorming. She came up with very creative and fun ideas, but then came the execution 🪄 The photos speak for themselves, but only capture the tangible aspect. This will be an experience that my daughter and her friends will cherish forever; from the made from scratch and interactive baking experience to the delicious desserts, everything was great! Before we even left, my daughter was asking us if we could plan her 10th birthday party with Jessica again! 😄 Thank you, Chef Jessica! We will be reaching out again in the future!"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.
