Corine M. says, " It was my first time at EZ Compliments Cooking Classes, and it was fantastic. Shilpi was full of knowledge and shared with us everything that she could. Teaching us about spices. Then off to cooking and she is a great teacher, very patient, and it was a small class so it felt like a one on one class. Cant wait to go back. I Highly recommend this class for anyone." Read more

Nina P. says, "Jessie's art comes from a place of internal inspiration, joy and love. She has a style that is uniquely hers - you can always tell a piece of art was done by her. Her passion for art drives her to create unique and beautiful pieces. I have often seen her go back to keep improving on her pieces time and time again until they are exactly how she wants them. But she is also not afraid to scrap and project and start over if she is not fulfilling her vision. I had the pleasure of living with Jessie for 2 years, and during that time she would spend any amount of free time creating art in several mediums. Her passion for art inspired me (a very non-artistic person) to pick up a paint brush and try my hand. Jessie was always supportive of my work and showed me tips and tricks to improve what I already had in a very supporting and non-judgemental manner. Any student would be lucky to have a teacher as passionate and thoughtful as Jessie. " Read more

I'm a professional artist/engineer; I'm also the eldest of 5 children. There are 10+ years between myself and my siblings. My older sister approach lends itself towards tutoring children quite naturally. My siblings have told me I'm calm, mellow, patient, and set a comfortable tone to explore their creativity. I would be a great fit for anxiety prone children or anyone looking for art therapy. I enjoy interacting with the child as they attempt to work through the crafting project. One detail I take pride in is if it becomes clear the activity is frustrating the child, I will pivot and ask them what their muse is telling them to do. I will enc...

I am very well versed in the a variety of cuisines and cooking techniques. I was the Chef de Cuisine of Stir in Boston for the last 3 years demonstrating a different educational theme each day. Prior to that I also spent time bartending at No. 9 Park where I gained a lot of experience with cocktails, spirits, wine, etc. I currently work freelance for hire for private dinners and lessons. I spend the rest of my time cooking with the stellar team at The Table at Season to Taste in Cambridge. I am moving toward opening my own restaurant in the next 1-2 years on top of this. My strengths lie in Asian cuisines, particularly Japan and South Asia. F...

Your cooking questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do cooking classes cost near me?

Cooking classes cost $60 to $140 per person for a one-time in-person class or $200 to $500 for a class including three to five sessions where you'll learn to create different meals from a specific region or type of cuisine. Online cooking classes cost $20 to $100.

The cost of cooking classes depends on:

  • Class length
  • Group class vs. private lesson
  • Beginner or advanced skill level
  • Type of cuisine
  • Recipe difficulty
  • Chef's or instructor's reputation
  • Location
  • Hands-on vs. demonstration-only
  • Whether the class focuses on teaching a specific culinary technique or recipe or is a collaborative class where each student prepares one part of the overall menu

How long are cooking classes?

In-person cooking classes typically last 2 to 3 hours, depending on the class type and size, whether it's hands-on or demonstration-only, and the cuisine type. Most online cooking classes are 1 to 2 hours long.

What types of cooking classes are there?

Cooking classes range from introductory lessons that teach you basic culinary techniques to advanced classes that teach you how to prepare a five-course meal from scratch. Date night classes are a popular way to bond with your partner while learning how to prepare delicious meals.

Common cooking class types and topics include:

  • French cuisine
  • Italian cuisine
  • Asian cuisine
  • Vegetarian cuisine
  • Baking
  • Breadmaking
  • Handmade pasta
  • Sushi
  • Date night cooking class
  • Kids cooking class
  • Family cooking class
  • Knife skills

Should I tip the cooking class instructor?

Tipping the instructor at a group cooking class is not expected. If you enjoy the class, post a positive review online and consider sharing photos and the school's information on social media.

For private classes from a chef, tip 15% to 25% for exemplary service.

How can I find the best cooking classes near me?

A cooking class can help you master the basics, learn advanced culinary techniques, explore new ingredients and cuisines, and boost your confidence in the kitchen. Follow these tips to help you find the best class for you:

  • Decide whether you want to take a group class, date night class, or private lesson.
  • Choose a class focusing on the type of cuisine you want to create.
  • Read reviews from past students on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm whether the class is hands-on or demonstration-only.
  • Ask about class size, schedule, and supplies needed.
  • Let the instructor know ahead of time if you have a food allergy.

What questions should I ask before signing up for cooking classes?

Ask these questions to help you choose the cooking class that best suits your needs:

  • What cooking techniques or recipes will I learn in the class?
  • What is the typical class size?
  • Will I make my own items or is it a collaborative class where each student makes part of the meal?
  • Do I need to bring anything special with me?
  • Are the classes hands-on or demonstration-only?
  • Will we get to eat the food we prepare at the end of class?
  • Can I take leftover food home with me?
  • Do you offer private classes?
  • Can I buy a class as a gift for someone else?
  • Are there any age restrictions?
  • What if I have food allergies?

We had such a great time learning to cook Indian with Shilpi. She explained things in a way that I know will stick with me and was insistent that we reach out with any questions when we try things on our own. The food was so flavorful and left us full and happy! We cant wait to try the chef's table next!
