Tablespoon Cooking Co.
About
Our cooking classes provide hands-on experience making recipes completely from scratch. We serve wine and beer, and play music to create a fun, no-pressure learning environment. You'll learn from culinary professionals and get to take everything you make - including the recipes - home with you. We place a strong emphasis on supporting small and minority-owned businesses, and source our ingredients seasonally from local farms.
We believe home cooks of all skills levels can learn to #CookGoodFood. We love introducing people to new cuisines, cultures and ways of cooking their favorite dishes. Even more, we love building community through food in programs like our Cookbook Club. You can learn more about our programs, classes and events at tablespooncookingco.com, or find us on Facebook and Instagram, @tablespooncookingco.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Most cooking classes range from $45-$75 per person, but private lessons and event prices are custom-built based on the menu and ingredients needed.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Tablespoon hires instructors with professional experience working in the food and restaurant industry. While your neighbor's grandmother might hold the secret to the best marinara this side of the Atlantic, only a pro can tell you how to keep your kitchen sanitary, use your knife the safest and most efficient way, and other tricks to making cooking more fun and delicious.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Always be up front about your dietary restrictions, food allergies and other food-related health issues. These days, almost any recipe can be adjusted to each person's preference, but doing so needs advanced notice and a lot of work.
