“If you’re afraid of butter, use cream.”
Private Cooking Classes and Culinary Training - California
If you’re looking for a new hobby, it may be time to experience the joy of cooking!
Cooking is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day at work. It also gives you an opportunity to try out new recipes and experiment with flavors that you wouldn’t normally use in your everyday life. And it doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming – just pick up some ingredients from the local grocery store, spend an hour or two preparing them, and enjoy!
Prep Kitchen Essentials's Cooking School offers a wide range of interactive, hands-on cooking classes, both in-person and virtual cooking classes, throughout California so that people can learn how to cook delicious meals without having to worry about wasting money on groceries they won’t end up using. Our top-notch chef instructors are experts in the food industry who will teach you everything there is to know about healthy eating habits, as well as basic kitchen skills like chopping vegetables, searing meat, baking breads and pastries…the list goes on! You don't need any prior experience - we'll take care of all the hard work for you so that all you have left is fun!
Our goal is to provide an accessible and meaningful culinary experience where participants can become confident in the kitchen. We do this by creating a comfortable, practical social space for people who want fulfilling experiences with food that are both fun and instructive at once!

How Prep Kitchen Essentials' Classes Work
Our culinary classes are conducted in two formats: in-person, and hands-on zoom cooking classes.
In-Person Classes
Once classes are in session in our kitchen classrooms, you will learn how to make meals from scratch and have a blast doing it! You'll be working with seasoned chefs who are more than happy for hands-on experience. Class time is split up equally between recipe preparation and cleanup - so bring an apron or wear something old that needs replacing anyway because these pots won't wait around until you're done cleaning them!
*Disclaimer: Class sizes are limited and structured to allow each student the opportunity to work closely with our acclaimed chefs.
