What is a cooking class like?

At your cooking class, a skilled chef will teach you how to make a meal from scratch, walking you through each step to help you master the skills needed to up your kitchen game. Baking classes generally work the same, but for sweet treats, desserts and bread.

In a cooking class, you can learn how to bake desserts, make pizza and compose delicious sushi rolls. You'll make the dish as the teacher does, learning via practical lessons rather than just sitting down and taking notes. This interactive method not only helps you retain information and ask questions, but is also great fun. All the ingredients and utensils you need are provided, so you just have to focus on making the meal as per the chef's instructions.

How long are culinary classes?

Cooking classes in Chicago tend to last anywhere from one to three hours. This will depend on the provider, the dishes you're making, and type of class you've chosen.

The exact length of your cooking class will also depend on how much you want to learn. Some providers offer short but sweet sessions, whereas others specialize in more in-depth classes exploring tricky techniques.

An estimate should be included in the description of each offer page, as well as details as to what the class will include. Those offering to walk you through four courses, for example, will be significantly longer than one dish classes.

Are these cooking classes taught individually or in a group?

Cooking classes are usually taught in a group setting, which adds to the fun as everyone works together to learn a new skill. The number of people in the session varies, but you'll still get plenty of time to ask questions and interact with the teacher.

With a cooking class, you'll get the chance to meet like-minded people from Chicago and beyond, sharing tips and tricks while cooking up your meal, whether you've signed up as an individual or for a couples' cookery class.
