The 17 best cooking classes in Phoenix

Chef Deb is amazing! She’s so funny and simply the sweetest. I’ve taken class here a couple of times and she is by far my favorite chef to work with. She makes it simple and easy to follow and she makes the class fun! We hope to take more classes with her soon!

Our leader was informative and kind.my mother and I came for a class on our vacation! We learned new things about cooking with fresh produce and techniques. We always have a good laugh at each other! There was enough people in the class we still felt safe.

A charming French themed restaurant. My husband and I decided to try it out because it was walking distance from our hotel. It’s on the pricey side but the quality of the food is great. We shared the Smoked and Fresh Salmon hash and the picture attached is a 1/2 portion so you can see it’s very generous. The server was very nice and it had a cozy welcoming atmosphere. Great place to go for a nicer brunch or dinner.

Went for a date night and had an excellent time. From the friendly staff to the great live music, the place was a hit. Our dinners were superb as we argued over whose food was better, each not wanting to concede our mouthwatering dishes of pork(me) and chicken(her). We weren't feeling noodles tonight but will definitely go back to try . We were feeling the apple dessert with ice cream and it was just right to split. 10 out of 10!

A piece of Havana in the desert. This is a fun and upbeat venue to take friends, family, or business contacts for a relaxed conversation and dinner. That bar serves up rum-based cocktails that are particular suited for conversations. The food is very well prepared, with attention to detail. Every single item in our orders were flavorful, delicious, and cooked to perfection.

On the recommendation of many, I finally visited this place while working nearby. Absolutely fantastic! This is your go-to spot for specialty Italian grocery items, plus an incredible selection of desserts, sandwiches, hot dishes, and more! The staff was very friendly, and we arrived early to beat the lunch rush. I wish they offered half-subs, as the sandwiches are huge—split one unless you're really hungry! Note: Bring cash to avoid a 4% card processing fee. Excited to return and try more!

Came here with my fiance and it's Arabic grocery store, it has a small section of vegetable. It's a good size of grocery store and they also have a place they make food just in case if you just want something quick to grab to go.

People often underestimate this store! I purchased fresh beef neckbones and oxtails for less than $10 a pound! Not to mention the fresh pastries baked daily! The customer service is always friendly and quick…which I love. If you love eating and cooking Mexican food you must stop here.

We love Lam's Market. A wonderful, old-fashioned Asian supermarket with tons of variety, fresh fruit, veggies, meat and seafood. You'll see from the photos that it's clean and well organized. This is specifically the Lam's at 35th and Camelback. We used to go to the Lam's at 67th and Indian School, but this one is closer to home. Whether you're in a family that regularly cooks Asian food or are experimenting with Asian cuisine, you should be able to find all the ingredients you need at Lam's.

My wife and I stayed at Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The resort itself is stunning – the rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and felt private and relaxing. The food was outstanding at every meal, with so much attention to detail and flavor. The pools were perfect, offering the ideal mix of relaxation and luxury, and we loved spending time there soaking up the Arizona sunshine. The entire experience was unforgettable, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our honeymoon and can’t wait to come back! Thanks again!

Hard not to love this place. Honestly most of the time I go there to get my hands on a load of the ABSOLUTE BEST WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES ANYWHERE! No cap, all caps on purpose. Trust me. Go there even if just for that. They’re in the bulk cookie area near the dessert counter. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing clean authentic japanese conveinant store. You can definitely find foods and japanese items that you can not buy anywhere else. It is a little on the pricier end however worth every penny in my own opinion. I definitely recommend going here.

We stopped here after the Diamondbacks game and made it just in time for their Happy Hour. We were seated immediately. Our servers were super quick and processed. The cocktails are always fun and unique. The oysters were fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was fun, and it was a lovely experience.

We had my daughter’s birthday party here, and it was an absolute blast! It was truly one of the best parties we’ve ever had. Sally made the process incredibly easy, and everyone was really helpful. The teachers were fantastic and went above and beyond to accommodate the dietary restrictions of some of the girls. The venue itself was absolutely adorable! I highly recommend this place and would come again for classes or a party. I’ll definitely be recommending it to friends who have little girls.

Sweet dreams are made of cheese I've been meaning to visit Shea Cheese since it opened and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! Owner Jenny Zink, along with her husband Isaak, is a lively adventurous person living life to the fullest. I met Jenny years ago, when she ran a women's adventure group, and I was looking to meet new people. Although I wish that we had more outings of riding electric scooters along the canals of Old Town, I'm excited to support her in her adventures as a business owner. The day we stopped in she was actually hosting the Red Cross for a blood drive. I'm an avid donor and saw this as my push to get to Shea cheese. I had to cancel my donation for scheduling issues, but still went in later and saw Jenny handing every donor a gift bag. I've donated at many host locations and have never seen this! She set a goal of 17 donors and ended up with 27! We stopped in for the makings of a delicious charcuterie board and it put a big smile on my face as I saw Jenny again, in her element of bringing strangers together. Jenny is very candid about her 7+ year sobriety journey and I see the comments on her posts about people sharing their own journey. If you can't tell, she just amazes me. Ok...so now to the shop. It's an intimate cute space with so many yummy options. Isaak gave us cheese samples and helped us pick a cheddar, bleu, and soft cheese to go with our meats and crackers. They also offer beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) along with plant-based food options, books, and more. Oh! They make the most delicious sandwiches! We loved the decadent truffle flavor of the Unbrielievable grilled cheese and the savory rich roast beef and bleu cheese flavors of The Lil' Stinker. Recently they acquired the shop space nextdoor and opened it as a lounge. Now there is a space to sit and enjoy your sandwich and a book. It's also put to wonderful use with their cheese classes, silent book club, and many more events. Check out their schedule on the website! Oh! I can't forget to mention that Shea Cheese was recently awarded a Best-Of-The-Valley accolade! Last year it was for The Most Clever name. This year is for The Most Fun Company Newsletter. It appears that I'm not the only one who enjoys Jenny's personality and humor. I hope I've convinced you to visit Shea Cheese. Whether it be for lunch, to pick up snacks, or to attend an event. Stop in, meet Jenny and her team and enjoy this special place.

My wife and I just returned from 3 amazing days at The Concept in Phoenix. We were greeted curbside by Brian who took our luggage and gave us a champagne tour of the beautiful property. The pictures online don’t do justice to the design and attention to detail in this home – from the huge, plate glass front door to the ‘raindrop’ chandelier to the ‘fire and water’ feature in the back yard, it’s jaw dropping. We had an amazing time watching shows on the massive 4K, backlit TV with surround sound in the main room – and loved the roomy, quiet, and super-comfortable master suite. Out back, we enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub on a cool winter day! The most notable aspect of the Concept is the experience provided by Brian, the live-in chef. Each morning, he made each of us our own breakfast tailored to our tastes (tip: try his French omelet!). During the day, he often made us drinks and provided snacks while we enjoyed the property. The crown jewel was the happy hour Brian provided for us and 10 of our local friends. Brian put together a custom menu, including appetizers that covered a range of very specific food-needs, wine pairings, and three of his signature cocktails. It was clear to see that Brian was in his ‘happy place’ while preparing and hosting this amazing event. It’s also worth mentioning the location of this home in a quiet, centrally-located neighborhood. Because we had activities and friends in all directions, we were pleasantly surprised at the convenience to Sun City, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and other locations.

Having never been to a cooking class (and not being a particularly confident cook) I wasn’t sure what to expect - but it was a fantastic evening! Maggie was a great host and teacher, and the lesson was really well planned. It was a fun group and delicious food, so I will definitely be going again. Thank you Maggie!!
