What You’re Getting
Private Cooking Classes NYC are between 21/2 to 3 hours. This will depend on the menu during which time we will prepare at least 3 dishes from start to finish. All menus are custom designed to suit your tastes, skills, dietary requirements and kitchen equipment. We cater for vegans, vegetarians etc.
During the cooking class the story, history and healing wisdoms to the dish and ingredients will be covered. The recipes are also provided.
The Private Cooking Classes are conducted by Gourmand Award winning cook book author Maria Benardis.
Dishes are cooked with sourced certified organic ingredients wherever possible. Menus also reflect seasonality.
Location of Cooking Classes
Cooking Classes can be held in any home kitchen in New York City (Brooklyn and Queens included).
We also travel beyond the boroughs and interstate to conduct private cooking classes and events. Travelling costs and incidentals will be added to our fee.
