Cooking Schools come in many sizes and shapes. Finding the right learning experience to match your interest and skill is our concern. We visited many schools over the years -- from famous trained chefs to Nonna simply sharing her hard earned skills. From exquisite kitchens to humble homes… sharing is the secret.

There are schools that will fit any level of experience you seek. Participation vs. watching. Is the school hands-on or just some personality showing how great he or she is? Are you willing to stay focused on preparing one specific food type or do you want a wide range of subjects?

Do you have one day, three days or a week to dedicate to learning? Do you want to stay in the US, or go international? All options are available, the trouble is finding the right school for what you want.

Generally the best schools will combine cooking demonstrations, preparations, procuring and meal planning along with local visits for sampling regional specialties. And you better hope you learned your lesson well because you will have to eat what you prepare!

Trying to decide what to do? We suggest go for the week and if you like it go again and again. All your friends and family will greatly appreciate you!
