How Our Cooking Classes Work

A League of Kitchens instructor – an immigrant who is an exceptional home cook and inspiring teacher – welcomes you and 5 other people into their home.
You cook together, eat together, learn together, and share culture and stories. You go home with a packet of their family recipes and an in-depth shopping guide.
Had fun? Sign up again and go somewhere new! Learn new skills, meet new people, and experience a new cuisine and culture.

How Our Tours Work

League of Kitchens tours give you the chance to see immigrant communities and specialty stores through the eyes of our instructors, all of whom are expert home cooks and neighborhood regulars. Our tours make 3-4 stops at a combination of shops such as markets, butchers, bakeries, spice shops, and home good stores. All tours include food samples and insider tips throughout the day, a family-style feast, and a shopping guide.
