Whether you’re looking for a girls’ night out, a date night, a birthday, or something else altogether, cooking classes can be a super fun activity for groups of various sizes! We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite places to cook AND eat, right here in Dallas.

THE COOKERY

THE COOKERY

Your experience at The Cookery begins with a complimentary beverage and appetizers, and ends with a family-style dinner! So what happens in between? After being outfitted in your apron, an engaging culinary instructor will lead you and your group through the creation of a four-course dinner. The Cookery tries to use locally-sourced, organic ingredients whenever possible and places an emphasis on international, regional, and seasonal cuisine. The entire creation and consumption typically lasts around three hours. You can sign up on your own, with friends, or book a private event! Most of their classes are $105.
