What should I expect during a typical class?
When you book one of the city’s best cooking classes, the first thing you should expect is to have everything provided for you. That includes all of the ingredients required to make your chosen menu, as well as any specialized equipment.
As for the specific techniques you’ll master, that depends on the class.

Learning aside, you’ll have the chance to sit and enjoy a meal of your own creation with your classmates, reflecting on your learnings and enjoying some quality time together over the shared experience of food.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
This entirely depends on which class you decide to take. For example, if you book a pasta making class, you can expect to spend your time rolling out the dough, whipping up delicious fillings and simmering the perfectly-seasoned sauce with which to pair it. Similarly, if you opt to learn to make your own sushi, you’ll spend the class getting hands on with the niche ingredients and specialized tools required to master your favorite rolls.
What the best cooking classes all have in common is that your chef will also cover basics like knife skills, ingredient preparation and even seasoning. In other words, you’ll leave with both essential and specialized skills that are sure to help level up your home-cooking game.
What are the benefits of taking a cooking class?
The top cooking classes offer a whole host of benefits. One is that you’ll gain fascinating insights into food cultures from around the world, learning tempting new recipes that are sure to wow your friends and family, and mastering the skills you need to make them.
