Private Cooking Classes and Events
Cooking. Culture. Connection.
Make your next gathering unforgettable. Whether you’re hosting a company holiday party, team-building event, client dinner, birthday celebration, or reunion, the League of Kitchens transforms every occasion into something meaningful and delicious.
The League of Kitchens is a New York City–based cooking school and private events company offering hands-on, multicultural cooking experiences led by immigrant women from around the world. Our instructors—extraordinary home cooks representing 13 countries—welcome you into their kitchens to share their tips, traditions, and stories.
We design private cooking events in NYC and online that are filled with love and laughter. Each event is much more than a class or dinner—it’s a joyful, shared experience that brings people together through food, culture, and conversation. From corporate cooking events to intimate family gatherings, every League of Kitchens event leaves guests feeling uplifted, inspired, and buzzing with good vibes.
Our work has been featured by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Food & Wine, and CBS Saturday Morning. In 2024, we released , a critically acclaimed collection of recipes and stories that celebrate the immigrant cooking instructors who make our workshops so special.

Jeanette overwhelmed us with her warmth, kindness, and humor. Her food was delicious and plentiful. I love the whole concept of the League of Kitchens and will certainly recommend it to others."
