Welcome to Private Events at the Milk Street Cooking School. Whether you and your guests are cooking rookies or expert home chefs, our events are designed to facilitate learning, team building and fun for groups of all sizes. In every class, we focus on key techniques and principles that apply beyond the recipes we're making that day.

Depending on your group size, desired event length and budget, we offer three event types: hands-on cooking classes with dinner; cooking demos with one hands-on cooking challenge; and happy hour interactive demonstrations with drinks & snacks. Whether it’s a small group of friends or your entire company, our events are a fun, informative and delicious way to spend time together. All events are taught by our skilled team of culinary instructors. Attendees are provided with digital copies of all the recipes they make and enjoy following the event.

Testimonials:

“I really enjoy the mission, vibe and style at Milk Street. I had attended a hands-on class with my husband, [and] we had such a wonderful experience I was eager to go back. It came to me to suggest it to a group of lady institutional traders who meet every year after the bustle of the holidays. We had our event this week, there were 30 of us; and we had a blast. The flow worked perfectly. We were able to catch up and reconnect with each other, but then we watched a cooking demonstration which was so interesting. Every little thing they do from the choice of ingredients, to the flavors they pair together, to the cookware they use is so well thought out and purposeful. I can confidently say that everyone of us learned something. And the meal they served us was so delicious, and well balanced, and healthful. We loved it.”
— Stephanie Minister, 2018 President of the Boston Securities Traders Association (in-person private event)

“Jacqueline and the team at Milk Street are knowledgeable and engaging. They bring the art of cooking to their events through an authentic, creative and approachable menu immersed in an energetic venue. It is truly a unique experience and some of the best client engagements we have ever hosted.”
— Amy Lalezari, Director of Client Services at Environments at Work (in-person private event)

"I have to say that this was the best produced, best organized cooking course I have ever taken. Cooking stations were set up for every two people. All the equipment needed was at each station. Ingredients were already prepped and measured for each station. And several staff were positioned around the cooking stations available to help at a moment’s notice...At Milk Street, you can just focus on the techniques you need to focus on, not on scurrying about looking for things. If I am in the mood for a cooking class, this is now where I go. Once you experience a well produced cooking class, the others just don’t cut it."

— Joanne F., event attendee

“Everyone that participated in the class loved it ! The class was well organized, professional and the meal delicious and extremely well received by the family members who consumed it.”
— Maris P. (virtual private event)
