Lissa B. says, "We hired Frank to cook dinners for our family vacation and we were very glad we did! He easily accomodated our group of 10 adults and 2 young children with our special requests and dietary restrictions. We especially loved his Italian specialties- eggplant rolatini, tomato sauce, seafood sauce, meatballs, Chicken Vesuvio and Porchetta. He adjusted the spice after we told him we liked it hot! He suggested the menu after he learned about our tastes and Italian family background. The kids normally eat just buttered noodles but they loved his tomato sauce made from freshly picked tomatoes. He cooked for 3 of our 7 nights and there was lots of leftovers for lunches. The desserts- fresh cannoli, Tiramisu and Limoncello cake were amazing. His homemade balsamic salad dressing was perfect! Frank is extremely warm and friendly, and he blended in nicely with the family vibe. We wish we could take him home with us!"See more

Candice Z says, "Vil is truly a gifted healer. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and wants the best for you and your healing- whether that is physical aches or pain, mental, emotional, or spiritual. She is on your side and works so intentionally to support you. Ive seen Vil for about 30+ sessions for biofeedback frequency healing combined with somatic healing techniques. The biofeedback frequency device is very impressive and while you may initially be confused or skeptical, its incredible and I wish traditional doctors used this to both analyze our body ahead of time for acute or chronic inflammation which will point to accurate potential concerns in your health, and from there begin to focus and heal your body through this work. Vil is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring all while giving you real insight and direct truth to help you. Ive had stomach/digestive/bloating for a couple years and disc/spine pain, and discovered systemic inflammation. Through our sessions, weve surfaced and healed a lot of emotional pain/trauma both past and recent, and through the sessions along with her recommendation in my diet, supplements, nutrition increase, movements, my body and self as a whole has healed so much, decreasing the pains, bloating, and disc aches. My relationships have also improved with the hard work sessions and honest insightful advice on how to approach tough situations. Vil is all of these incredible things in one: a life coach, a healer, a nutritionist, a therapist. The somatic healing tapping and movements have also been a huge part of my journey and helps to move energy through my body and realign both my body and state of mind. I cannot say enough good things and highly recommend. Hil is also very nurturing through her foods and the love she puts into cooking for you. If you need meal prep and plans, she is so talented at this, will know which foods will best serve your body, with whole food ingredients. So much love!!!"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.
