Private Cooking Classes with Chef Joe
Hands-on themed classes in your kitchen or live on Zoom, for couples, friends, families and teams. No experience required.

A private chef who teaches
Sometimes the best dinner is the one you make together. My private cooking classes turn your kitchen into a hands-on workshop for a date night, a family night, a birthday or a team outing, with me there guiding every step.
Pick a theme and grab an apron. Let’s Cook Chinese covers dumplings, stir-fry and fried rice. Let’s Cook Italian is fresh pasta, homemade marinara and bruschetta. Let’s Cook Greek brings spanakopita, tzatziki and souvlaki. There is also Fresh Salads with homemade dressings, and Taco Night with fresh salsa, guacamole and street corn.
Classes work in person in your kitchen across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, or live on Zoom with each of us in our own kitchens, which is great for families or teams spread across different cities. Either way, we cook, we taste, and you go home with recipes you will actually make again.
Classes are a natural fit for groups who want an activity, not just a meal: couples looking for a different kind of date night, bachelorette and birthday groups at a rental house, families with kids who love to help, and teams building something together. Allergies and dietary needs can be worked into any theme.
For the full list of themes and how virtual classes work, see the Consulting & Classes page. To book a class, send a request through the contact form; private chef dinners book on Food Fire Knives.
