Private Chicago Cooking Class with Le Cordon Bleu Chef

Experience a private Chicago cooking class with Rakhi, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, in her home near Wrigley Field. During this 2.5-hour hands-on culinary experience, learn professional cooking techniques while exploring the flavors and traditions that have shaped Chicago's diverse food culture. Roll up your sleeves and help prepare a seasonal menu inspired by classic Chicago and Midwest comfort food. Depending on the menu, you may learn to make favorites such as Chicken Vesuvio and chopped salad with giardiniera or hot fried chicken with biscuits and gravy, and homemade desserts. Guests interested in Tex-Mex cuisine may request an alternative menu featuring dishes such as steak tacos with homemade flour tortillas, pico de gallo, and flan. As you cook, Rakhi shares stories from her family's culinary traditions, her training at Le Cordon Bleu, and her experiences working alongside renowned chefs. Afterward, sit down together to enjoy the meal you helped prepare in a relaxed and welcoming home setting. Vegetarian, vegan, and lactose-free diets can be accommodated with advance notice.
