Private Classes $100/person

Customized cooking class to your specifications, taught by Chef Eric and/or Chef Jen from The Cooks’ House. This is not a theoretical course, this is hands on!

We let you bang the pans and dirty the dishes in The Cooks’ House kitchen for a 2 1/2 hour lesson where you cook on the same burners as our chefs.

You’ll get everything you need for your lesson: ingredients, expert instruction, and recipes. Plus you’ll get to taste your creation right from the spoon.

This is an excellent idea as a unique evening of intimacy and fun with your very best friends. You and 4-6 of your friends rubbing elbows with our chefs in The Cooks House, creating dishes you enjoy to eat.

You tell us what you want to make and we’ll design the course for you. Perfect for you and your best friends, a group of 2-3 couples, or anyone who loves to create in the kitchen.
