Cooking classes: What are you really paying for?

When looking for a cooking class, one of the first things people consider is the price. But the real question is: What are you really paying for?

At Healthy Italia, we prefer to look at the issue from a different perspective. Rather than asking ourselves, “How much does a cooking class cost?”, we think it’s more appropriate to ask, “What does a cooking class include?” Behind the price shown online, there may in fact be very significant differences between one program and another: from the quality of the ingredients to the length of the lesson, from the number of participants to the level of support during preparation.

That’s why we’ve chosen a simple and transparent approach: The price of our cooking classes is per table, for two people, and is completely all-inclusive. 

Each cooking class includes:

• Full access to the cooking class for two people
• Aprons for cooking in true Italian style
• All the ingredients needed to prepare the recipe
• All kitchen utensils and equipment
• A dedicated workstation
• A table where you can sit and enjoy what you’ve prepared
• Tableware: glasses, plates, silverware
• Bottle opener (BYOB: you can bring your own wine)
• Everything needed to cook without having to bring anything from home
• Filtered water to drink during the classes
• Containers to take home any leftovers

In other words, taking part in a cooking class at Healthy Italia doesn’t mean simply paying for ingredients or a recipe, but for a shared occasion, discovery, and fun.

That’s because our classes aren’t just cooking lessons, but genuine experiences to enjoy together: perfect for a couple, an outing with friends, or spending special time with family, learning something new and savoring the pleasures of real Italian cuisine. 

How much are cooking classes for adults?

Now we come to the most frequently asked question: How much does it cost to take part in a cooking class?

The price may vary depending on the type of class. At Healthy Italia, we offer different options designed to suit age, interests, and the desired level of depth.

Here are some general indications of the costs.

Cooking with the kids

Cooking classes designed for adults and children to enjoy together:

• Starting from $180 per table (2 people)

These are fun and interactive experiences, perfect for spending quality time with little ones and preparing simple, tasty dishes together.

Cooking classes for adults

Prices for adult classes vary depending on the length and complexity of the experience:

• Starting from $245 per table for standard classes, such as pizza classes
• Up to $320 per table for more comprehensive workshops lasting about 3 hours

During the workshops, participants generally prepare multiple dishes, with a greater focus on Italian cooking techniques and steps.

Prices may vary depending on several factors: menu, number of dishes prepared, class length, and type of experience (for example workshop).

Why is there a price per table?

Our decision to offer our cooking classes at a price per table, for two people, is not arbitrary. It reflects our idea of the experience: Cooking is not just about preparing a dish, but also about sharing some special time together.

Organizing the class this way allows us to create a more relaxed, personal, and engaging environment. Each pair of participants has their own space and can experience the lesson in a more intimate and participatory way.

This means that:

• Each table provides personal space to work comfortably
• You don’t share your workstation with strangers, avoiding confusion and crowding
• The experience is designed for two people who want to share the experience, whether they are partners, friends, or family members
• You cook together and then eat together, turning the lesson into a true time of togetherness.

This way, the cooking class becomes much more than a mere lesson: It is an experience to enjoy and remember.

How much are cooking classes for kids?

The cooking classes for kids are designed to introduce younger participants to the world of cooking in a fun, creative, and safe way. Through hands-on and engaging activities, children learn about ingredients, collaboration, and how to prepare simple traditional Italian recipes, guided step by step by our staff at all times.

At Healthy Italia, we offer different options especially for younger participants, both throughout the year and during school breaks.

Drop-off classes

Drop-off classes are cooking lessons where children participate independently, without their parents present. They are often held on days when schools are closed, offering a fun and educational activity for a few hours in good company.

During these classes, participants prepare one or more simple recipes, become familiar with the basics of cooking, and above all have fun working together—all in a calm and stimulating environment.

Cost: starting from $80 per child

Summer Camp

During the summer, we offer a full calendar of Summer Cooking Camp, a more comprehensive experience that allows children to enjoy more days centered around cookery, play, and creativity.

Over the course of the week, children have the opportunity to experiment with different recipes, techniques, and activities related to the world of food, developing curiosity, manual skills, and a collaborative spirit.

• Cost: $499 per week per child
• Duration: Monday through Thursday

How much does a private event cost?

In addition to scheduled classes, we also organize private cooking classes for groups. These classes are perfect for friends, families, or corporate teams, and fully customizable according to your needs, to create a special and unforgettable shared experience!
