Private Cooking Classes

“A private class with Chef Katie incorporates all the elements I value in a shared group experience: learning, connecting, asking, and laughing. One of our team members noted that ‘the class was such a unique and thoughtful experience – a really wonderful way to come together as a team.’ ”—Eric T.

Private classes for groups are available via Zoom no matter where people are physically located. Prices begin at $30 per screen with a minimum of 13 screens. Our maximum capacity is 20. Chef Katie will work with you to pick just the right topic for your group. Contact Katie to find out more details.
