When you sign up for a cooking class in Palm Springs, you’re looking to spend between $59 to over $100 per person, depending on the type of cooking experience and group size. Most culinary classes follow a tiered pricing structure, so a private pasta night will cost more than a casual sushi session with friends. You’ll find the starting price per person listed on each class page, making it easy to budget.

Who are these cooking classes suitable for?

What should I expect during a typical class?
Cooking classes in Palm Springs are a complete culinary experience filled with the aroma of fresh ingredients and the buzz of excitement in the kitchen. The lessons kick off with your instructor breaking down the day's menu, sharing pro tips and teaching you the "why" behind every step. You'll get hands-on experience with techniques you've probably only seen on cooking shows, from knife skills that would make Gordon Ramsay proud to flavor combinations that'll blow your mind. After all the slicing, sizzling and seasoning, you’ll sit down and enjoy your delicious creation, because every class ends with a well-earned feast.
What cooking techniques and skills will I master?
The goal of these cooking courses is to help you build confidence by practicing skills over time and understanding the reasons behind good cooking techniques, the kind of techniques you can use every day and show off at dinner parties. You’ll learn to make things like soup stocks, mix gourmet sauces and get organized in the kitchen with proper prep. All of this while baking bread, crafting delicious pastries and making sushi rolls from scratch. You’ll also get hands-on with knife skills, grilling, seasoning and global flavors from Asian spice to Latin flair and California-inspired dishes you’d find at places like Workshop Kitchen or Rooster and the Pig.
What are the benefits of taking a cooking class?
Cooking classes in Palm Springs are a great way to bond with fellow food lovers while picking up new kitchen skills. One minute you’re learning to sear the perfect steak, the next you’re cracking up with your bestie over a sauce gone sideways. Plus, these cooking experiences are super interactive, which means you’ll be slicing, stirring, seasoning and tasting right alongside the chef. And you won’t be stuck with the same old dishes either, as these culinary classes let you travel the world without leaving the kitchen, teaching you everything from spicy Thai curries to French pastries that look way harder than they are.
What types of cooking classes can I choose from?
The great thing about taking cooking classes in Palm Springs is that there are many types of cuisines for you to choose from. We’re talking French, Italian, Mediterranean and Asian techniques that’ll completely revolutionize the way you cook. It’s a real treat for a passionate home cook, as you’ll learn foundational techniques behind some of the most famous flavors, from French mother sauces to Mediterranean cooking that emphasizes fresh herbs, olive oil and grilled vegetables. Of course, many sign up just for the specialty classes, which include hands-on sushi and pasta making workshops to fun bread making cooking courses that explore the full breadth of bread styles.
Where do the classes take place?
Essentially, these culinary classes are designed to fit your vibe so it really depends on what you’re comfortable with. Sessions usually take place at various venues around town, but you could also book the chef to come to your own kitchen or have the class take place at the chef's home or studio. If you’re wondering what kind of venues these include, think sleek midcentury spaces in Palm Desert, charming kitchens in Rancho Mirage and modern lofts in foodie hubs like the Uptown Design District.
