Through in-home cooking classes, students learn how to cook the foods they love to eat in a relaxing environment. To make the most of these classes, students begin by creating their own customized lesson plans and menus with the help of an encouraging and experienced chef-instructor.

Classes are approximately 2 ½ hours and are centered around the preparation of a complete meal.

Scheduling is flexible. We can accommodate even the most difficult of schedules! Afternoon, after work, and weekend classes are all available. As a courtesy to our instructors, we require a 48-hour notice to reschedule any booked class.

Classes can be held in any home kitchen in New York City (Brooklyn and Queens included). We are also happy to travel beyond the boroughs to teach, and traveling costs are based on your distance from Manhattan. If you happen to live in the Hudson Valley, check out our schedule of cooking classes in Beacon at Chef-Instructor Jennifer Clair's home.

"Is my kitchen big enough?"
As long as you can put a cutting board down (in the kitchen or on the dining room table) as many times as there are students, you can comfortably learn to cook in your home kitchen.

Menus:
All menus are tailored to suit the tastes and skill level of each student. For inspiration, browse through our most popular menus or our curriculum-based series classes ("Learning the Basics" and "Cooking Lighter"). Each student receives a recipe booklet at the beginning of class.

Pricing:
1 or 2 students: $300 (series of 3: $825)
3 students: $350

4 students: $400

GROCERIES: Students will be sent a detailed shopping list prior to class so they will have the necessary groceries on hand. (There are several online grocery delivery services that make this a breeze.)
