Alberto C. says, "Gabriele went above and beyond — not only averting a potential disaster but also turning what could have been a catastrophe into an unforgettable evening. For my anniversary, I surprised my partner by hiring a professional chef to prepare a 4-course dinner at home. Being Italian, I'm particular about my dining preferences, especially for such a special occasion. Before the event, Gabriele was exceptionally proactive, offering several menu options for the four courses, each centered around a fall theme with fish as the primary protein. He crafted multiple menu iterations, each unique, combining flavors like fruit emulsions, spice essences, and freshly prepared culinary elements that highlighted the quality of the raw ingredients. But then, a true test of resilience arose. Just hours before his expected arrival, I was notified of a sudden gas outage in our NYC building. Amid the stress of this last-minute setback on my anniversary, I worried how Gabriele would manage to cook his carefully curated meal, with no kitchen stoves! Yet, Gabriele remained calm and composed, assuring me that he had everything under control. He brought his own electric-powered cooking station and seamlessly executed the entire dinner, saving our evening. He not only dissipated any lingering and overwhelming stress I had attempting to rectify this situation, but also created an unforgettable experience. The experience was more than just a solution; it was a revelation. Gabriele's cooking left us in awe, transforming our favorite dishes— like a simple "Spaghetto al Gambero Rosso"— into creations that transported my partner and I back to Italy. Grazie, grazie infinite once again. A."See more

Callen V. says, "I cannot recommend Justine and The Jucebox enough for anyone looking for a private chef who truly goes above and beyond. I live in Honolulu while my mother is in New York, which makes it incredibly difficult to oversee her day to day nutrition, especially given her very specific and complex dietary requirements. Finding someone as reliable and talented as Justine has been a massive weight off my shoulders. She has been handling my mom’s weekly meal prep with incredible care. Every dish is perfectly tailored to her health needs without ever sacrificing flavor or variety. My mother actually looks forward to her meals now, which is a huge win. Beyond the routine prep, Justine recently catered and served a small dinner party for my mom and a group of her friends. They were all blown away by the quality of the food and the level of professional service Justine provided. She managed everything seamlessly, allowing my mother to focus entirely on her guests while Justine handled the rest. Justine is professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about what she does. If you are looking for a chef who is attentive to detail and completely trustworthy, look no further than The Jucebox. She has been a blessing to our family and I would give her ten stars if I could."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.
