Private cooking classes + parties

Private classes and parties are a great way to learn new recipes and have fun in the kitchen.

Check out the options below to cook dinner for your family, celebrate a birthday or holiday, or have a virtual cooking hangout with family or friends.

How it works:

  • Choose from the menus below, or request a custom menu. I’ll send an ingredient and equipment list the week before, adapted to any dietary restrictions and allergies.

  • During our 60 - 90 min Zoom lesson, I will demo the recipes and talk you through each step, answering any questions along the way.

  • I’ll keep the Zoom going after our lesson, so you and your guests can eat and chat together after you’ve cooked!

  • You’ll receive a printable recipe afterward, and a class recording at your request.

Menu Options

  • Pizza Party: Build-your-own pizzas + homemade lemonade (vegetarian)

  • Brunch At Home: Veggie & cheese frittata + sparkling fruit soda (vegetarian, GF)

  • Appetizer Hour: Crunchy chickpeas, crudités, and tahini dip (vegetarian, GF)

  • Dinner Party One: Pumpkin gnocchi with brown butter (vegetarian)

  • Dinner Party Two: Oven baked chicken tenders with dipping sauce + green salad

  • Dinner Party Three: Peanut noodles with tofu (vegan)

“My five year old had so much fun cooking with Catherine! She learned basic cooking skills and had so much fun. The recipes were delicious and she was able to do most of it by herself which made her so proud. Stir The Pot classes are such a great way to build confidence and have fun in the kitchen!” - Jaclynn, Missoula MT

Looking for something special?

If there's a particular dish or cuisine that you’d like to try, or a special event you want to plan, I will schedule a brief phone or video consultation and create a custom menu based on your taste, cooking level, and interest. Host your own dinner party, explore Italian flavors, or hone your knife skills — the sky’s the limit!

Our 60 - 90 min virtual lesson will include demos and time for questions, and you will receive a printable recipe, plus an apron and a sticker. (We can even do a series of classes if you like!)

$100 per lesson, from 1-10 students. Sliding scale; no one turned away for lack of funds.
