Why a Personal Chef for Cooking Classes

Group cooking classes are generic and crowded. You learn at everyone else's pace, with recipes you didn't choose. A private cooking class with a personal chef is the opposite: personalized instruction in your own kitchen, at your pace, learning exactly what you want — from fresh Italian pasta to Japanese sushi.

It's more than a lesson — it's an experience. Couples use it as a creative gift, companies for team building, tourists for cultural immersion, and cooking enthusiasts to level up their skills. Best of all: you eat everything you make.

What's Included

What each package actually includes is listed on its experience page, before you pay.

Usually included

  • Personalized Instruction

    Class adapted to the group's level — from beginners to experienced cooks. The chef adjusts complexity and pace.

  • All Ingredients

    The chef brings all fresh, quality ingredients. You don't need to buy anything in advance.

  • Take-Home Recipes

    At the end, you receive detailed recipes with chef tips to recreate at home with confidence.

  • Complete Meal

    Everything you prepare becomes the group's meal. Nothing is wasted — you eat the result of your work.

  • Complete Cleanup

    The chef cleans the entire kitchen at the end. Dishes, pots, counters — all spotless.

  • Optional Pairing

    Many chefs suggest wines or drinks to accompany the meal you prepared, adding an extra layer to the experience.

Real Scenarios

Example requests and how a chef can shape the evening.

Pedro and Marina wanted a unique anniversary gift. Instead of a restaurant, they booked a fresh pasta class at home with a myChef chef.

They spent 3 hours laughing, getting flour on their hands, and discovering that making ravioli together was more romantic than any restaurant. They repeat the class every anniversary.

An advertising agency in São Paulo wanted a unique team building activity. They booked a sushi class for 12 people at the office.

Teams that never talked ended up working together on the maki assembly. The lunch after was the liveliest the office had ever had.

A group of American tourists in Salvador wanted to learn how to make Bahian moqueca. They hired a Bahian chef who taught the entire tradition — from dendê to cilantro.

It was the highlight of their trip. They took the recipes home and now make moqueca monthly in the US — always remembering the class in Salvador.

    You pay when you book, by Pix or card, with a full refund if the chef declines. Then you settle the details in chat.

Frequently asked questions

None! The chef adapts the class to the group's level. Complete beginners, intermediate cooks, and even professionals wanting to learn a new cuisine are all welcome.
Ideally 2-8 people to ensure personalized attention. For larger groups (team building), the chef can bring assistants and adapt the format.
Most classes last 2-3 hours including prep, cooking, and the meal. Sushi classes or more complex dishes can take up to 4 hours.
No. The chef brings specialized equipment when needed (pasta machine, sushi mat, etc.). A basic kitchen with stove and oven is sufficient.
Yes — it's one of the most requested gifts! Perfect for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and bachelor/bachelorette parties. You can book and gift with a voucher.
