Cooking Classes
At Cooking Skills & Social, we believe the best memories are made around food. Our BYOB cooking classes combine hands-on culinary education with a relaxed, social atmosphere. Bring your favorite bottle and get ready to cook, learn, and connect!

EXPERT INSTRUCTION

Learn from experienced chefs who make complex techniques approachable and fun.

FRESH & EXCLUSIVE INGREDIENTS

Ingredients from our partners at NEK Foods- from seafood brought in from the fisherman to produce that the restaurants use.

BYOB!

Bring your favorite wine or beverage to enjoy while you cook and dine.

SOCIAL EXPERIENCE

Meet new people, share stories, and enjoy a memorable evening of cooking together.
We usually pair 2 people together for each cooking station. If you are coming solo and would like your own cooking station, or with a group and would like to be seated together please call or email us at the time of reservation to best accommodate you. Thank you!
