Whether you’re practically Julia Child or you don’t even know a whisk from a spatula, you’ll learn something—and enjoy yourself—at cooking classes. Grab a buddy, gather a gang, or fly solo. You could be on your way to becoming the home cook of your dreams.

The Recipe For Good Cooking Classes

First, decide what kind of class format you want. Think about your comfort level and learning style. Would you prefer to sit and watch a chef prepare and explain how their meal came together? It’s almost like catching a live taping of your favorite Food Network Show. Do you learn better with a hands-on approach? Then you’ll want a more traditionally structured cooking class. At these, everyone makes their own meal, while instructors guide you along.

Choose Your Flavor
