Chicago · WORKSHOPS
9 tours
Chicago makes this easy once somebody has thinned the field: 9 workshops, each with its price, its running time and the one detail that decides whether it belongs in your week.
Create your own signature perfume at Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, in a small group. You leave with a 1.0 oz bottle for $85.
“Please try to be early if you can because if you are a group of 5 they might put you at a table alone away from your group. I will tell you this it was a fun time and we as a group did sit together. The host did apologize for the inconvenience.”
Make your own Chicago deep dish pizza at Pizzeria Uno, with salad and drinks in a private class, plus gluten-free options.
“Not a true pizza making experience. They start you off with a ball of dough in a deep dish pan that’s already been oiled. They do walk you through the steps of how the dough was prepared but this took some of the cooking experience away for me. Your task is to simply spread the dough and then add cheese, sauce, and toppings. The space was ok (two long tables in a separate space from the restaurant dining room). There was one couple who’s showed up and got shoved at a table crammed in between. Seems they still have an issue with overbooking. The servers were helpful and attentive and…”
A 90-minute Chicago street-art spray class for adults, with BYOB, stencil guidance, and a take-home canvas for $45.
“Spray Paint & Sip (we just spray painted, no sipping!)”
Create an 8 oz 100% soy wax candle on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Customize scents in a 1 hr 15 min BYOB class.
“It is a great idea and they are very organized but there were only my daughter and myself. The class was for 1 and 1/2 hour and we were done in 45 mins. Plus you offer cocktails. Next time spend a bit of money on the wine and do not serve Aldi grocery store $4.99 wine. Very poor. The class is super over priced for the time and the cocktails. I would not recommend this to anyone. Very disappointed . This was for a birthday gift. The most expensive candle I will ever have. $150 for the both of us. Very sad”
Private 3-hour Indian-Mexican fusion cooking class in Chicago with Ruby in Hoffman Estates, hands-on lessons, and a full multi-course meal.
“We had a great time learning to cook several Indian/Mexican fusion dishes. Ruby was a great host and a thoughtful teacher. The food was delicious and something I look forward to incorporating into my menu rotation at home. Would highly recommend!!”
Small-group Chicago pasta class with Chef Coco: bruschetta, handmade gnocchi, tiramisù, BYOB, and a 3-course meal in 2.5 hours.
“Chef Coco was amazing! She was so warm and inviting and a patient teacher. She even took pictures for me to have later! The gnocchi and tiramisu was so much fun to make and eat! The bruschetta was excellent. The cozy apartment was a wonderful environment to learn a new skill on a Friday night. I would absolutely book again!”
Small-group sushi-making class in Chicago with Chef Kumi. Learn knife skills, make 2 rolls, enjoy dessert, and BYOB at 6:30 pm.
“This was such a great experience! Our chef was not only incredibly knowledgeable but was great at making the environment very fun and interactive. I would take another class without hesitation!”
Private online Chicago deep dish pizza class with Nancy. Cook in your own kitchen, personalize for dietary needs, plus learn a cookie bake.
“We had a wonderful time doing this online cooking class! Nancy was knowledgeable, helpful, interesting and kind throughout our class. She took time to understand our experience level to tailor the class to our skills. She also took time to get to know us, which was much appreciated. We all ended up with successful pizzas!! Be mindful that you do have the make the dough ahead of time, but it was very easy!”
Private Naperville cooking class with Nancy. Make Chicago-style deep dish pizza or handmade pasta, plus salad and flourless chocolate cake.
“It was great. Felt like we were at a friends house. Very hands on. Food was delicious. Definitely worth the money. Got to take some home.”
