Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this cooking experience? I'm thinking of gifting it to my teenage daughter.

A: There isn't a strict age limit for this experience! I've seen families bring kids as young as 12, and they had a blast. Just check with the chef ahead of time if your daughter has any dietary restrictions. They'll usually tailor the recipes a bit to make it more enjoyable for younger cooks!

Q: What should I wear? Is it casual or should I dress up for the cooking class?

A: Go for something comfortable! You’ll be cooking, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit messy—like an old t-shirt and jeans. Aprons are usually provided, but it's good to have comfy shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot.

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up? What’s the cancellation policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if you give at least 48 hours notice. They’re pretty flexible, but last-minute cancellations might lead to a fee. It’s always good to check with them directly if you have a specific date in mind!

Just finished the Cook American Dishes experience in NYC!

Wow, this cooking class was a blast! I went with a couple of friends, and we learned how to make classic burgers and homemade fries. The chef was amazing and shared so much history about the dishes. It was super hands-on, and we got to take tons of pics. I highly recommend it for a fun day out in New York!

Thinking about gifting this cooking class! Any tips?

I’m considering gifting the Cook American Dishes with a Private Chef experience for my sister's birthday. She loves cooking but hasn’t done something like this before. I want to make sure it’s worth it—how was the vibe? Did anyone feel out of their depth?
