Big Flavors Private Cooking Classes
Hands-on virtual cooking classes designed to meet your needs
Private classes are such a great way to get individualized attention in the kitchen. Explore new recipes, techniques, and cuisines from the comfort of your own home.
My classes are laid back and interactive, as I encourage people to really enjoy cooking at home for themselves and their loved ones.
Popular types of private classes include:
- 1:1 classes for individual support
- Small group classes
- Special occasions and parties
- Date nights
- Customer appreciation events
- Team building experiences
With a wide array of recipes and cooking techniques to offer, I just know that we’ll find the perfect class to fit your needs.

How virtual cooking classes work
Once you’ve chosen your class date and menu, I put together printable recipe cards as well as a list of any kitchen equipment/tools that are needed to participate.
I send that as a PDF along with Zoom information via email no later than 1 week before the event date.
I have a professional lighting, video, and audio setup with 2 cameras to make sure everything is easy to see so that participants are able to follow along.
Classes usually run for an hour, and I welcome questions and audience participation/feedback throughout the entire process. We have a lot of fun together!
Examples of class themes and recipes
I have taught many, many different classes to kids, teens, adults, and families over the years. I have experience teaching everything from breakfast and brunch recipes to picnic and lunchbox-friendly spreads, appetizers and hors d’oeuvres for entertaining, family-friendly dinners, and delicious desserts.
There are many options to choose from, and I’m also happy to work with any themes or requests that you have. Many of my recipes are flexible enough to be made with meat-free alternatives if that’s something that you think is of interest to you.
