Caroline C. says, "I cannot sing enough praises about the extraordinary experience we had with Chef John for my husband's 30th birthday dinner! From the moment we reached out to him, John was an absolute dream to work with. His creativity and inventiveness shone through in every aspect of planning, and his responsiveness made the entire coordination process a breeze. On the night of the event, John brought such wonderful vibes into our home. His warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the evening. And let me tell you, the menu he crafted was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece! The cocktail hour kicked off with an array of tantalizing hors d'oeuvres, including a beet-cured salmon dish that truly blew our minds. The charcuterie and caviar service were impeccable, with the caviar he specially sourced being the best I've ever had. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and expertly presented. As dinner commenced, John continued to wow us with his culinary prowess. The escargot appetizer set the stage for what was to come, leading into a heavenly truffle cacio e pepe that left us speechless. The addition of freshly grated truffle elevated the dish to new heights, and every bite was pure bliss. And let's not forget about the main course—a succulent steak and potatoes dish that was nothing short of divine. The flavors were sensational, and the execution was flawless. What truly sets John apart is his thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Not only did he cater to our every need, but he also went above and beyond to accommodate a vegetarian version of the meal for one of our guests. It's clear that John's professional training and experience shine through in every aspect of his work, from the delectable menu to the gorgeous plating. Overall, the entire experience was nothing short of magical. John's passion for his craft and dedication to creating unforgettable culinary experiences truly made my husband's birthday dinner one for the books. We are beyond pleased with the result and cannot wait to work with him again in the future. Even our dog adored having him! Thank you, Chef John, for making our evening so special and memorable!"See more

Alberto C. says, "Gabriele went above and beyond — not only averting a potential disaster but also turning what could have been a catastrophe into an unforgettable evening. For my anniversary, I surprised my partner by hiring a professional chef to prepare a 4-course dinner at home. Being Italian, I'm particular about my dining preferences, especially for such a special occasion. Before the event, Gabriele was exceptionally proactive, offering several menu options for the four courses, each centered around a fall theme with fish as the primary protein. He crafted multiple menu iterations, each unique, combining flavors like fruit emulsions, spice essences, and freshly prepared culinary elements that highlighted the quality of the raw ingredients. But then, a true test of resilience arose. Just hours before his expected arrival, I was notified of a sudden gas outage in our NYC building. Amid the stress of this last-minute setback on my anniversary, I worried how Gabriele would manage to cook his carefully curated meal, with no kitchen stoves! Yet, Gabriele remained calm and composed, assuring me that he had everything under control. He brought his own electric-powered cooking station and seamlessly executed the entire dinner, saving our evening. He not only dissipated any lingering and overwhelming stress I had attempting to rectify this situation, but also created an unforgettable experience. The experience was more than just a solution; it was a revelation. Gabriele's cooking left us in awe, transforming our favorite dishes— like a simple "Spaghetto al Gambero Rosso"— into creations that transported my partner and I back to Italy. Grazie, grazie infinite once again. A."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.
