Hana Y. says, "Hiring Chef Michele was the best decision I could have made for my husband’s birthday celebration! From start to finish, he was an absolute all-star—not only as a chef but as a gracious host. He arrived fully prepared with all his cooking equipment AND went above and beyond by providing extras I hadn’t even finalized yet: tables, chairs, linens, cutlery, wine glasses, and more. I felt as though I got to actually enjoy the party because Chef Michele effortlessly cooked, plated, and served all 15 of us, leaving me free to celebrate stress-free with our guests. He also left my kitchen cleaner than it was before by the time he left! His cooking is absolutely delicious. He worked with me to create a fully customized menu and his authentic Italian style shined through. Every dish was a delicious, and our friends were blown away by the experience."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.
