  • Chef Craig was amazing, friendly and knowledgable...and the class was a blast! We each got to make multiple pizzas, (so we were really getting the hang of handling the dough!), and we joyfully ate what we made in class. Delicious!!! We also took home dough we made in class for future pizzas. Such a fun class, (great for a date night or birthday imho!), at such a reasonable price, we will be back for more classes!!! Cheers!!!

  • Chef Vic was an awesome instructor. I can’t wait to take another class from him.

  • We had an incredible time with Chef Mert! He’s knowledgeable, has a great personality, and we ended up with a delicious meal. Highly recommend.
  • Chef Vic was awesome! Super knowledgeable and genuinely cared about making the experience great. We tried his sushi-making class, and it did not disappoint. He explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and made sure everyone was having a good time. Even when I totally messed up on my first try, he didn’t make me feel bad—he just guided me through my second roll and made it fun. On top of that, the whole group was super fun and cool, and we ended up making new friends along the way. It was such a great experience and an all-around amazing time. We’re already looking forward to trying his Pad Thai and dumpling-making class next. Highly recommend!
  • An amazing experience and the instructor was very helpful and fun to work with. I will definitely be taking his course again. I liked that the class was intimate so we could all interact with each other and make friends. I appreciate being able to eat sushi throughout the day and it was convenient to step into the restaurant next door to purchase alcohol
  • Outstanding work by a very knowledgeable instructor. I was very pleased and amazed with the profound education I was able to walk out of the class with. This course covers everything from learning coffee all the way to starting your own coffee business. I highly recommend this to anyone whether it's for business and or just for fun!
  • Making donuts was a unique experience that I shared with my friends and children. Instructions were great and the donuts turned out delicious. It was nice to use industrial kitchen. One of the less ideal conditions included the class being held in a coffee shop. The lighting was poor and the space was not conducive to making donuts. Other than that, it was an excellent experience
  • Excellent class! Learned so much and the bread we made was top notch.
  • Chef Mert was friendly and an excellent teacher. We loved the class, and everything tasted amazing. I’d highly recommend it.

  • My wife and I had an amazing time learning how to make homemade pasta with Chef Mert! The class was intimate, hands-on, and so much fun. Chef Mert made us feel at ease while sharing expert tips and techniques that were easy to follow. We loved the personalized attention and the opportunity to create something delicious from scratch. The pasta turned out incredible—it's a memory we’ll cherish and a recipe we’ll definitely use again! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and engaging cooking class.
  • I really enjoyed the class. The explanation was clear, the chef clearly knew what they were doing and about the what was named for the food. Though I would have used different ingredients because of food preferences but overall it was fun.
  • great class had fun enjoyed the food and more importantly learned a lot.
  • Chef V was amazing! Helped celebrate my birthday in a special way as well. Highly recommend a class with her
  • My husband and I had so much fun at this class and our ravioli making game stepped up a couple of levels!
  • Chef Jackie was a fantastic instructor—friendly, engaging, and made the class a true pleasure. The food was outstanding, and we had a wonderful time
  • I recently took a cooking class with Chef Mert, and it was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the vibe was warm and welcoming. Chef Mert is not only a highly skilled chef but also an outstanding teacher. They simplified complex techniques into clear, easy steps, making the class approachable for everyone, no matter their skill level.
  • Our experience was wonderful! Yasmina was an amazing chef and host, and we left feeling like we’d made a true friend. We enjoyed every second of it.
  • Really fun class! We had a great time, met great people, and learned to make a delicious meal.
  • Eric is a wonderful, kind and professional man. His class was fun, hands on and educational. I know there is a lot classes he teaches but I wish there was more bread baking classes. Oh well, that one was enough for me to get started and enjoy. Many thanks Eric and crew.
  • Super good. Chef Eric really has a knack for teaching. He gave us a takeaway note pack as well. He was very nice and patient with us. I didn’t talk much but I felt like I came away with a wealth of knowledge. Now that I know proper technique and terminology I feel anxious to learn more. Love this class!
  • Learned a lot. Great instructor and hands on experience.
  • This was a very fun course with Chef Monica! The cookies were so yummy too.
  • Very informative, great teaching and hands on training. Thank you Chefs!
  • Eric is warm and welcoming. The class was informative and fun.

  • The teacher was very good, it was a delightful class just waiting for the print out of the class.
  • Great class. Even though we had a very large class Bryan was very clear, patient, teaching with such simplicity & clarity. I’m excited to sign up for part #2. Thank you!
  • What a wonderful experience it was to cook risotto with Chef Luana this evening. Every ingredient was fresh, with some even brought directly from her hometown in Italy.
  • I really enjoyed the class.
  • Absolutely loved this course! I feel so much more comfortable in the kitchen now. All the tips and tricks learned were invaluable. Chef Eric is very knowledgeable and created a fun atmosphere in class. Definitely recommend!
  • Jessica was great! I really enjoyed this introduction to French choux pastry. The class was a fun, laid back, and informative experience where we had the chance to not only learn how to make, bake, and fill choux pastry but also meet cool like-minded people. And at the end of it, we all had a surplus of delicious cream puffs and eclairs to chow down on and share with friends!
  • We had a wonderful evening and a truly memorable experience. We can’t wait to try what we learned, and the meal itself was spectacular. Yasmina is an amazing host.
  • My partner and I had a wonderful time with Chef Yasmina! She was warm, friendly, and patient. She asked what we hoped to get from the class and delivered exactly that. It was the perfect balance of her cooking, teaching, and letting us get hands-on.
  • Chef Eric’s knife skill class was a good way to get started with cooking classes. He starts off by talking about the different knifes you need and then demos the style of cuts and finally you get to enjoy cutting your self as him and his assistant go around teaching you as you do what you have learned. I’ll be back to learn from Chef Eric.
  • Such a great experience, and the food was seriously delicious!
  • The Chef was great and informative really enjoyed it and yes the food was delicious. I look forward to future classes
  • Great class
  • Had a wonderful time making delicious food. Chef Eric (and staff) are all engaging and knowledgeable, and we had a great group of collegial people. And I think that we all learned something!
  • We really enjoyed the class. Chef Vic was not only an excellent instructor but also a great person. We look forward to additional courses with Chef Vic.
  • Ambra was an absolute joy!

Discover the Best Cooking Classes in Los Angeles

When you decide to take a cooking class in Los Angeles, you can choose from three different settings. In-person classes with an instructor and other students around a table all learning together are one option. Live online classes still have a real time instructor but students join from anywhere via the internet. The last option is group classes with friends or work colleagues all learning together. 

You Should Learn Cooking in Los Angeles

Los Angeles offers a wonderful array of culinary experiences, from the freshest seafood and produce to wonderful wines. You can choose from a long list of fine dining restaurants or go in search of the best street taco. This culinary richness also makes Los Angeles a great place to learn to cook.

Learning to cook is a good way to explore the history and culture of the area. Visiting some of the many farmers' markets for produce, cheese, and locally raised meat is the perfect inspiration for a cooking adventure. Microgroceries are popping up throughout the city to bring local ingredients to many neighborhoods. Go shopping on your lunch break and then make dinner from your haul when you get home.

Learning to cook is also a good way to meet new people and make connections. Check out groups like L.A. Foodies, a group that gets together to try new restaurants, visit markets, and explore the local food scene. Other groups meet to try new cookbooks or to create themed dinners. 

Learning to cook can also save you money. Eating out or picking up takeout adds up quickly but you can buy food for the week on what you spend on a couple of restaurant meals. You can find cooking classes that teach you how to prepare your lunches for the week in a few hours on Sunday, or creative ways to use up what’s in the fridge.

Another reason to learn to cook may be to start a side hustle or switch to a new career. Maybe you have dreamed of opening a bakery or having your own food truck. Starting a small home-based cookie business or selling dumplings can be a start. If becoming a professional chef is your career goal, learning to cook is the first step on that road.

In-Person Cooking Classes in Los Angeles

In-person cooking classes have an instructor in a kitchen classroom with students all around working along. You can talk to the instructor and other students and maybe make some new friends. 

Learn how to Make Your Own Sushi in this hands-on cooking class from CocuSocial. All of the ingredients and equipment are provided and you will take recipes home to recreate later. The class will cover preparing rice for sushi, what to look for when choosing fish, and extra ingredients to add to your rolls. 

Make coffee the way the pros do. Los Angeles City College offers Barista Training for Beginners. The class will cover how to use a commercial espresso machine. This is the first part of a two-part Barista Certification course for people who want to work in coffee shops and cafes. 

Learn to craft your own pies in Pizza Pizazz from Chef Eric’s Culinary Classroom. You will learn to make traditional and specialty pizza dough, tomato sauce, pepperoni cheese pizza, herb-grilled chicken alfredo pizza, and margherita pizza.

CocuSocial Cooking Classes brings you Better Than Takeout Pad Thai. Learn to make Thailand’s most beloved dish in this in-person cooking class for couples. Participants 21 and over of all skill levels are welcome to join in to learn how to prepare the noodles and create the pad thai flavor profile from scratch. All ingredients will be provided and you can choose between chicken and tofu as your protein.

Learn how to make this iconic Southwest celebration food in Authentic Tamale Making from Los Angeles City College. Learn to prepare the meat and dough, and then get a lesson in how to fold the tamales. This class is taught in both English and Spanish.

Virtual Cooking Classes

In-person cooking classes are fun and educational, but sometimes a class you want to take isn’t offered near you, or maybe you don’t feel like commuting. A live online cooking class runs very much like an in-person class, except that some of the students attend class over the internet. 

You will need a laptop or tablet to log on to the session. A phone will work but it can be difficult to hold while you cook, so that is not ideal. You follow along with the instructor and other students with ingredients you purchase ahead of time. Some classes have kits that will be sent to you after you sign up. 

Like an in-person class, you can talk to the other students and ask the instructor questions. Unlike an in-person class, you don’t have to look for parking! You can take virtual cooking classes anywhere with reliable internet.

Rieslings of the World is another class from the San Francisco Wine School. Learn about this delightful light white wine in this online wine class. Go on a guided tour of the climate, soil, and conditions that make the perfect riesling by tasting six different varieties. You can take this class on its own or as part of the Wines of the World series. Participants must be 21 or older. You can pick up a wine kit or have it delivered.

Making ice cream and frozen custard is not as difficult as you have feared. Custard and Ice Cream, an online ice cream class from Teaching Table will cover both mechanically churned and machine-free recipes. Make two custard bases that you can freeze and turn into ice cream or bake and finish as creme brulee. You don’t need an ice cream maker to learn to make the custard. Open to participants 16 and up.

Overcome your fear of phyllo in Virtual Cook Along: Phyllo Workshop, a class for all skill levels from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square. Learn to work with this light and flaky dough to produce different types of appetizers and pastries. The course is open to anyone age 18 and up and will cover working with phyllo, creating fillings, making honey syrup, and whipping eggs. You will make spanakopita (Spinach and Feta Phyllo Triangles), baklava (Layered Spiced Walnuts and Phyllo with Honey Syrup), orange and clove-scented phyllo cake. 

Private Group Cooking Classes in Los Angeles

Another fun way to learn to cook is to make it a group effort. Private group cooking classes can be a great idea for a party, a good team-building activity, or a fun night out with friends. Most of CourseHorse’s classes can be booked as private events and you can choose from a network of over 1,000 providers with no booking fees. If you need to add people to the participant list, it’s no problem. You will get a confirmation message within 24 hours of signing up. Contact us for help with booking your next event. 

This class is perfect for a birthday party! Come learn to make the best cake pops and cake popsicles in Summer Celebration Cake Pops. Cakery by Syd, a candy and baking supply company dedicated to spreading the word on sweets, will show you all the tricks to getting the perfect cake consistency to stick to the sticks, how to color chocolate, and which melts to use. All supplies are included.

Take a tour of some of Los Angeles’ best chocolatiers in the Chocolate Love Tour in Los Angeles. You will tour several LA candy companies, including Edelweiss Chocolates, Teuscher Chocolates, and Letterpress Chocolate. Participants will be on their own for lunch at La Scala during a break in the tour. Cost of the class includes factory tours and tasting fees. The factory tours require attendees to wear closed-toe shoes and not to wear perfume, colognes, or heavy-scented lotions/oils, or you may be refused admission. Participants must be 18 or older.

The tour is run by the El Camino College Community Education department, which runs short-term, not-for-credit classes.
