Private Cooking Parties
Once again the party is in the kitchen, the action, the smells, the food, and the laughter – a Private Event with Culinary Works. Our kitchen is yours and our goal is to create a fun night for everyone, to improve their cooking skills and try out new recipes.
Choose from our Current Private Event Menus below or our Previous Menu Collections. Alternatively, we can create a custom menu together! Our Private Cooking Parties are hands-on, we focus on cooking techniques (pan-searing, sautéing, grilling, seasoning) and knife skills (how to chop an onion, garlic). All designed to make you a better cook in the kitchen with simple tips and tricks. If you want to socialize with your friends, eat great food, and earn new kitchen knowledge then we have the perfect recipe for you.
Private Events
You invite the guests, whether it is friends, family, neighbors, or a combination, an entertaining evening of cooking, dining, and laughing is in store for you. We host parties for birthdays, book clubs, showers, social groups, non-profits, preschools, or charity organizations. With our help, the showroom will be yours to enjoy and create an unforgettable event.

What People Are Saying
Thank you, Julia, James, and crew! Our firm had an incredible time, it’s the event we most look forward to all year. You foster a fun collaborative environment and create inclusivity across all our departments. Truly bringing out the best in us and making us novices feel right at home. Thank you for being accommodating, flexible and hosting a fantastically delicious event! I’ll be in touch and personally I can’t wait to make these recipes at home.
Thanks to the Culinary Works team for an awesome night. Delicious food, great company and such fun. And I learned a few things too!! A+. Culinary Works did an amazing job!
Everybody had a fantastic time! Its such a different type of corporate event that fuses team building, collaboration, communication, and great food/wine in a very comfortable and casual setting. Nothing but 5 stars from our team!
What a fun evening! I wasn't even home yet and I was getting texts about what a special night it was. There was a lot of great chemistry and Julia, you really know how to whip a group into shape! And, the food was amazing. I am still thinking about that risotto and the berry cobbler! My dream of being at one of your cooking events came true, LOL. I know that everyone enjoyed the evening and your staff was wonderful.
