Private Events

At Sur La Table, online and in-store cooking classes are hosted in small groups. But if you want a truly personalized experience, book a private cooking class instead. We’ll tailor the class to suit your group and your choice of menu. Then, an instructor will lead your group in a collaborative cooking experience that’s sure to create some undeniably delicious memories.

Choose from an in-store event or book a private virtual cooking class that can take place anywhere. A private event is a unique option for bridal showers, dinner parties, holiday feasts and so much more. In-store private event pricing ranges from $90 to $175 per person, with variations based on location, group size, menu selection, and event date.

From beginners looking to boost their confidence in the kitchen to seasoned home chefs interested in trying new and exciting recipes, there’s something for everyone in a Sur La Table cooking class. Menu options range from Steak Night to Pasta Party workshops and everything in between. Work with the Sur La Table team to pick the perfect menu for you and your guests.

In-Store Classes

For a classic, chef-led experience, try one of the in-store cooking classes. Many of the Sur La Table locations feature a kitchen made specifically for teaching everything from the fundamentals to the most complicated recipes. In these sessions, you’ll get to roll up your sleeves and follow along as your chef-instructor guides you through the steps. You will cook at a station with up to 4 people, which features all of the equipment and ingredients you’ll need. With small class sizes, you’ll get plenty of personal attention from the instructor. In-store classes start at $59 per person.

Online Classes

Not located near one of their locations? No problem. Sur La Table offers online classes that start at $29. Each 90-120 minute class is a password-protected Zoom session, so you and the other attendees are free to ask questions as you follow along step by step. Prior to your class, download the prep packet for a shopping list and quickstart instructions so you’re ready to jump right in.  Popular online class recipes include colorful pasta, lobster rolls, summertime in Mexico, and blueberry cheesecake macarons.
