Remember when Charles Barkley called Salt Lake City “boring”? Yes, he eventually got a lot of pushback on that statement through billboards and social media posts, but one thing that we absolutely love about Utah is the diversity of flavors and cuisines you’ll find at restaurants across the state.
That’s why we’re thrilled to take you on a culinary journey with our international cooking classes in Salt Lake!
If you’ve ever had a tantalizing plate of butter chicken and saffron scented rice pilaf, or delicious beef drunken noodles and mango sticky rice, you’ll learn exactly how to master the authentic techniques to make those dishes at home anytime you want.
“Had a wonderful time taking an Indian nights cooking class. Even though I went alone, I felt comfortable in the group I was working with and had a lot of fun in the class. Our instructor was amazing and the food was delicious! I’d definitely recommend it.”

Some of our most popular international classes include Korean and Thai food, authentic Indian dishes and Mediterranean cuisine like Greek and Italian.
Each class has a regional theme, and the dishes and ingredients used to create the cuisine are unique to the region. Plus you’ll get to enjoy the dish you created after the class.
One of the secrets to navigating your way around a kitchen is to become confident and efficient with a knife.
This basic knife skills class in Salt Lake is perfect for any skill level (no matter if you’re a beginner, or a professional chef).
A chef’s knife is the most important tool in the kitchen, and learning how to use the knife properly will make it easier for you to create amazing meals. We’ll show you how to choose the best knife for a particular task, how to hold the knife properly, and you’ll learn a variety of cutting techniques like julienne, dicing, and Chiffonade among others.
We’ll even provide a professional Chef’s knife that you can use during the class. If you have a knife of your own that you’d like to bring in, that’s not a problem!
“I took a knife skills class and it was fantastic! Very informative and so much fun! By the end of the class I could already see improvement in my knife skills. Chef Chris was highly knowledgeable & a great teacher. Highly recommend it!”

Make sure to come in closed-toe, comfortable shoes, and register early because our knife skills classes sell out fast!
