Private Cooking Classes - at your home or business, or ours!
If you are looking for an event that is unique and special, consider hosting one of our cooking classes in your home or at your business.
Great for:
• Learning a new cuisine or skill
• Celebrating birthdays or special occasions
• Couples' or friends’ night in
• Team-building or workplace wellness events
We can gear the class to toward your event or celebration.
Host a cooking class in your home or business
Your class will be private, relaxed, and hands-on.
Every private class is led by the Seashore Gourmet team. Two members of our team attend each class, allowing us to provide hands-on guidance throughout the experience while also keeping the cooking, meal service, and logistics running smoothly.
You'll enjoy an in-class meal provided as part of your experience which means all the pasta that your guests make will go home with them.
And because this is a private class, we can adjust the pace, menu, and experience to fit your group.
What your experience
looks like
How it works
#1 - Choose your location
Your class can take place at:
a. Seashore Gourmet in Scituate, MA
Seashore Gourmet is a residential location and has a maximum capacity of 10 people. See the kitchen >
There is no travel or set-up fee when using our space but we limit how many monthly classes we offer here.
b. Your home
We’ll bring the ingredients, equipment, and everything we need to create the experience in your kitchen.
c. Your business or event space
Private classes can also be hosted at offices, event spaces, vacation properties, or other appropriate locations.
If we're coming to your home or another location, we'll need enough space for everyone to comfortably participate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We use pasta machines that need to hook onto a counter or island in order to conduct the classes. Check out this article about the specific needs. Read the article >
#2 - Request a date
Private classes are scheduled by request rather than from a public class calendar.
When you submit your request by filling out the form below, please:
Refer to the public calendar - we can’t host your class on a date that we already have a class
Provide a few date options with preferred start times
(Classes last 2.5-3 hours)
#3 - Pricing

Hands-on instruction
All ingredients
