Adult Cooking Classes in NYC

We offer cooking classes that teach various menus and cuisines, from pasta making to rolling sushi and folding dumplings. All of our classes are designed for the new cook and passionate home chef alike. No prior cooking experience is needed. Just come ready for a good time and to learn something new.

Some classes offer registration by table. Select a “private table” that’s all your own. Private tables can accommodate up to 6 people. Larger groups can reserve 2 tables. Select a “shared table” for you to prep, cook and eat together family-style at a table with soon-to-be new friends.

Some classes offer registration by person. If you’re coming solo or with a friend/date, get ready to prep, cook and eat together family-style at a table with soon-to-be new friends.

Group registrations are limited to two tables in our public classes. Groups of 10+ guests will have the best experience reserving the Kitchen for a private cooking event just for their group.

Our classes are entirely hands-on, so get ready to roll up your sleeves. Our culinary instructors demo each recipe for the group and then each table makes every recipe from scratch, providing you and your table mates the opportunity to learn by doing. That’s most of the fun!

Absolutely! All adult classes include time to savor at the end of the class. This is a family-style experience where everyone takes a seat to enjoy what you’ve prepared with your table.

We allow beer, wine, or bubbly (no liquor) in our adult classes and private events for guests ages 21+. Glasses and openers are provided!

Select Kitchens operate as Bar Kitchens and may charge a corkage fee and/or have a curated selection of red and white wines available for purchase. Reach out to your local Kitchen if you have any questions.

All of our menus are nut-free. We do our best to offer a wide variety of menus that cater to different dietary needs and restrictions from vegetarian to gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and vegan. If you select an allergy-free menu, it is important to note that while the recipes are free of those ingredients, we are not an allergy-free facility for these ingredients. Recipes are cooked at group tables, and for your safety individual adjustments cannot be made. Please contact your local Kitchen if you have any questions.

If an individual participant has an allergy that would prevent them from enjoying what you’ve prepared, they have the option to bring in an individual portion of a nut-free outside food for their enjoyment. For example, a frosted cupcake or room-temp gluten-free pasta dish. The outside food cannot require heat or preparation and TBK will not serve this food to the client.

Unfortunately outside food is not allowed in our public classes, so please leave any snacks or birthday cakes at home.

You can complete our online waiver by clicking the link in your confirmation email. Guest participation in our Kitchen is subject to the execution of our Waiver. This Waiver must be signed by a parent for all minors (no nannies/sitters, grandparents, carpooling parents, etc). Any guests without a Waiver will not be able to participate. As the booking client, we will rely on you to clearly communicate this to your guests. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

All sales are final and non-refundable. You can reschedule your booking up to 5 days prior to the start time of your class by clicking the “Change booking” link included below your listed class date and time in the box above. If you are unable to rebook yourself, you’ve missed your rebooking window. Do your best to make it to class or send a friend in your place, as we do not offer rescheduling within 5 days of the class. Taste Buds Kitchen will not be held responsible for unforeseen circumstances including schedule conflicts, illnesses, last-minute emergencies, and any other circumstance.
