Full Description

Your friendly and knowledgeable instructor, Chef Mark Tafoya, will come to your home and teach a cooking class of your choosing for you and a group of family or friends. You'll learn new techniques, cooking tips and tricks, and work on recipes of your own choosing. At the end of your party, you'll feast of the delicious culinary creations you've made.

Chef Mark will consult with you prior to your Cooking Party to craft a lesson perfectly tailored to your interests. Whether your group is comprised of cooking beginners, parents who cook for the family, or experienced cooks looking to take your technique to the next level, Chef Mark will design a lesson that will be fun and tasty.

The lessons will be organized around a set of recipes, with each recipe serving as an example of techniques you'd like to learn or practice.

Choose to learn about foods from around the world including French, Italian, Spanish, Southwestern, Thai, Vietnamese, Persian, Japanese, Greek, Moroccan and many more. Chef Mark will consult with you to customize the lesson plan to your liking, and can accommodate virtually any tastes you have.

This class is ideal for a group of friends who want to have a fun time bonding in the kitchen while expanding your cooking technique.

You might think that your kitchen is too small for such a service. No need to worry! Chef Mark is a NYC personal chef and can work around any sized kitchen as long as it has a functioning stove and oven.
