Looking for cooking classes in Boston, MA? Whether you're planning a memorable date night in the South End, searching for couples cooking classes near you, or simply wanting to expand your culinary skills from home, The Chef & The Dish offers live, private cooking experiences led by world-class chefs — right from your own kitchen in Boston, Massachusetts.

What makes our experience truly different is that your chef joins you live from the country where the cuisine originates. Learn how to make fresh pasta with a chef cooking with you from Italy, master Pad Thai alongside a chef joining you from Thailand, or explore dishes from Mexico, Peru, Spain, Hungary, India, Turkey, New Orleans, and more. It’s an authentic, immersive cooking experience you simply won’t find in traditional local classes.

From Back Bay to Cambridge and across Greater Boston, local food lovers are discovering a more flexible and personalized way to learn. Instead of commuting across the city to attend a crowded class, you’ll cook one-on-one with a professional chef in a fully interactive online session, gaining authentic techniques and global recipes you can recreate again and again — all from the comfort of home.

The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen.
