Cooking Classes in and near Chicago, IL

As one of only three cities graced with the honor of recognition from the Michelin guide, Chicago has quickly become a destination for foodies (the other two cities are New York and San Francisco)—but it’s not just the city’s restaurants that garner the attention of local gourmands; Chicago cooking classes have also enjoyed a recent surge in popularity. Fledgling chefs can learn to man a wood-burning oven at Wooden Spoon Chicago, enroll in an intense, multi-day cooking boot camp at The Chopping Block Chicago, or get familiar with the nuances and sexy accents of French cuisine at Coq Au Vin.
