Carmella K. says, "We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this private chef! From the very first interaction, everything was seamless, professional, and warm. The menu was thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and every single dish was bursting with flavor. You could truly taste the care, creativity, and high-quality ingredients in each course. Not only was the food exceptional, but the entire experience felt elevated yet comfortable. Our kitchen was left spotless, timing was perfect, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the meal was. It felt like a restaurant-quality experience tailored just for us. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and passionate about what they do, I cannot recommend this chef highly enough. We will absolutely be booking again!"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.
