San Francisco Cooking Classes & Experiences
Each class is custom-designed around your group size, time frame, and objectives.
Cooking Competition
For groups interested in competitive cooking classes in SF, this chef-led challenge divides guests into small teams to prepare a meal. Guided by an experienced chef, teams receive mystery baskets filled with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and unexpected curveballs designed to spark creativity.
With the clock ticking, participants must strategize, delegate, and adapt to create a standout dish. Chef tips and technique demos keep the experience approachable and fun for all skill levels.
The experience closes with a lively tasting and judging moment, featuring bold flavors, big laughs, and well-earned bragging rights for the winning team. This format encourages collaboration, problem-solving, and friendly competition.
Build an Edible Nest
A playful, design-forward activity where guests create an edible “nest” using curated ingredients. This experience highlights presentation, storytelling, and hands-on creativity, making it perfect for teams looking for something unexpected and fun.
Guests learn how to build visually stunning, well-balanced charcuterie boards while exploring textures, flavors, and presentation techniques. A relaxed, social format that encourages conversation and creativity.
Charcuterie Board Workshop
Caviar, Blinis & Ricotta Tasting
An experience focused on technique and pairing. Guests prepare blinis, work with ricotta, and learn how to serve and enjoy caviar. This format works especially well for client entertainment or executive groups.
Participants mix, knead, and shape their own pasta, focusing on orecchiette, a classic shape designed to hold sauce. While the dough rests, the group prepares a savory tomato and garlic sauce to finish the dish together.
Handmade Pasta Workshop
Chocolate Soufflé Studio
Few desserts create as much anticipation as a chocolate soufflé. Light, airy, and dramatic, it’s a classic finale that never fails to impress. Guests learn both the art and science behind creating a perfectly risen chocolate soufflé from scratch.
