Vida R. says, "Chef Blaze & Chef John created a wonderful and intimate experience for us in our home to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary! Pros: Chef Blaze called for a consultation to go over food options and ultimately crafted a beautiful menu that included (2) starters, (2) main entrees, (2) veggies, (1) starch, (1) dessert, (2) alcoholic drinks, & (2) complimentary purees for our little one! I felt the price for everything was very fair and covered everything from beginning to end including the food, preparation, cooking, presentation, and cleanup. My husband and I appreciated the free-flowing conversation, learning about the chef's background and how food & cooking became their passion. The presentation of the courses was stunning, serving course after course until our stomachs were full! The food itself was delicious, especially the Tomahawk steak, crab dip, lobster tails, brussel sprouts, lemon cookie cheesecake, and smoked old-fashioned. When they were over, not only did they leave our kitchen clean and spotless, but they also packed up the remaining leftover food for us (was very appreciative of the generous portions) and we had dinner for the rest of the week! Cons: While we had requested an earlier start time of around 4-5pm, Chef Blaze was running late due to traffic and ultimately didn't arrive until 6:30pm and the first course wasn't presented until after 8:15pm. There was also an issue with one of the main dishes when a driver delivered a small ribeye steak and not the 32oz Tomahawk steak that was planned. However, Chef Blaze made sure to call around and left to pick up the steak in person to ensure it was correct! Last, our roasted broccolini was excluded from the menu and our little one missed out on her complimentary mango puree as planned. Overall, I would recommend Chef Blaze for his innovation, dedication to his craft, and culinary, and he takes the time to make sure you have a great experience and food adventure for your palette! Although not everything went 100%, I appreciate that he took the time to correct a few things and made a dinner experience one that we'll never forget. Thanks so much again Chef Blaze!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do private cooking lessons cost?

You can take private cooking classes to have fun, to learn a new skill, to improve your health, to bond with your partner, to enjoy a playful first date or to have a unique birthday party experience. Nationally the average cost of private cooking lessons ranges between $100 and $150. Prices can vary, depending on where you live, the type of cooking class you’re taking, the ingredients the chef provides, and the reputation of the chef. Cooking classes with Anthony Bourdain will clearly cost more than classes with a local restaurant owner. The number of people in the class will also affect the cost, with group lessons often priced per person to account for the cost of ingredients. For example, for group lessons, a brunch workshop may cost an average of $70 per person, a steak dinner with sides could cost an average of $80-$85 per person, and a sushi lesson could cost an average of $100 per person. Ingredients play a major role in cost, as the chef will pre-purchase the food you will be working with. Weekday classes will usually cost less than weekend classes.
