THE DETAILS
Hands-on cooking parties provide an interactive and fun activity for celebrating birthdays and showers as well as an ideal way for business colleagues to bond outside of work.

We run fully hands-on cooking parties and pride ourselves on teaching students how to cook from start to finish; nary an onion is peeled before we begin. A better sense of satisfaction and greater learning (and fun!) comes from creating a meal in its entirety. Larger, more formal schools will pre-prepare most of the meal and have you participate in cooking a fraction of it; we do not.

"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.

LOCATION

We are happy to come to any home kitchen in the New York City area (Brooklyn and Queens included). We can also travel beyond the boroughs. Traveling fees (to New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester or beyond) are $60/hour roundtrip from Manhattan plus transportation costs (bus, train, or tolls). If you have 8 or more people, your traveling fee will be waived.

CULINARY STUDIO RENTALS
For those without kitchen space to spare for a large cooking party, Home Cooking will book a fully-equipped culinary studio for your event (available in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, West 30s, and Boerum Hill, Brooklyn).

PRICING
(Includes all food, staff, and taxes, but not wine)
5 to 10 students: $100 per person
11 to 19 students:$95 per person
20+ students: $85 per person

30+ students: $75 per person

A 15% gratuity for the staff will be added to all parties.

MENUS
Menus are designed to complement the occasion, and can range from sushi-making to the cuisine of Southern France. Creativity and suggestions are encouraged, although we have plenty of ideas if you need inspiration (see Menus). Each student receives a detailed recipe booklet at the beginning of the event.
