Private Cooking Classes with Chef Matt
Two ways to learn: hands-on in your kitchen, or live on video from anywhere in the country.
Every class is taught live by Chef Matt — real professional technique, a menu built for your group, and a meal at the end of it. The only decision is whether he cooks beside you or coaches you through the screen.

Same chef, same instruction — two very different evenings.

Cooking Class Questions
Which class should I choose?
Choose an in-home class when you want the full evening — chef in your kitchen, all groceries and equipment handled, dinner served, cleanup done. Choose a virtual class when your group is spread out, the budget is tighter, or you want a shorter 90-minute experience you can join from anywhere.
What does a cooking class cost?
In-home private cooking classes are $150 per person with an 8-person minimum ($1,200), plus the cost of groceries. Virtual classes are $75 per person for a public class and $100 per person for a private class with an 8-person minimum ($800).
Do you travel for in-home classes?
Yes — across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. Locations more than 25 miles from 08094 add a $100 travel fee. Virtual classes have no travel fee anywhere in the country.
Can we choose the menu?
In-home classes are fully custom — menu, skill focus, and dietary needs are set in a short consultation. Public virtual classes follow a set menu for the date; private virtual classes are custom.
Are classes good for beginners?
Yes. Every class is calibrated to the group in the room, from first-time cooks to experienced home chefs.
