Cooking Classes in Wichita 2024

Whether you are looking to brush up on your skills in the kitchen, enjoy an evening out with a loved one, or just for fun, consider taking a cooking class or giving one as a gift. 

My favorite part, is that I can go and have a low stress/pressure time, try some new recipes that I may not normally make at home, and after you are done- not having to clean up the kitchen afterward!

If you are looking for a longer evening out, consider driving out to McPherson KS- about a 1.5 hour drive from Wichita to visit locally owned Cook’s Nook. Offering a broad variety of classes from knife skills to gourmet pizza making, there is a selection for everyone. 

While you are there, check out their selection of fresh olive oil and cooking gear for you or your fellow foodie. 

Apron Strings

1 S. Main St.
Hutchinson, KS 67501

Apron Strings in Hutchinson is another locally owned option, take drive out to Hutchinson to participate in one of their cooking classes. Take the opportunity while you are there to look at their kitchen ware as well!

Virtual/At Home Idea: 

For a more budget friendly option, find a recipe or virtual cooking lesson via Youtube or a favorite chef (my favorite is Selena + Chef). For a date night in, wait until the kids are in bed and plan to have a later meal that you can cook with your partner without the normal dinner chaos. For a group idea, host a cooking lesson in your home with friends.
