Treat yourself to a memorable culinary experience by making a reservation for a private cooking class with Sur La Table. In addition to our group cooking classes, we offer private classes that can be hosted virtually or in one of our in-store kitchens. It’s the perfect way to boost your cooking skills, savor a delicious meal, and bond with family and friends. Learn more about how our private cooking classes work and how to schedule your own event.
Learn from Real Chefs
Our chef instructors are there to lead you every step of the way on your culinary journey. These experienced teachers are great at guiding home chefs of every skill level in preparing and cooking the ingredients, so there’s no need to worry if you’re a beginner. Plan a class for just yourself or include some special loved ones to make it a group activity. Either way, you’ll get plenty of personal attention and real-time feedback from your instructor to ensure a great learning experience for everyone involved.
Plan an Unforgettable Event
Our private cooking classes are ideal for all kinds of occasions. You can set up a Sur La Table birthday party for a foodie friend or plan a virtual cooking class date night at home for you and your partner. A cooking class party is a great idea for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, family bonding, team-building exercises and much more. You get to choose the menu—or we’ll suggest one based on your favorite cuisine. Reach out today to learn more and start planning your Sur La Table event.
