12-WEEK BASICS OF COOKING SERIES

Whether you’re an amateur looking to progress beyond boiling water or an advanced home cook looking to level up, our 12-Week Basics of Cooking Series is just right for you.

In this cooking program, we go beyond merely teaching you recipes to explore the cooking techniques that are the foundations for all recipes. Understanding what’s “under the hood” of a recipe (what makes it work) helps you pull it off to perfection every time.

You’ll learn the basic science and proper cooking methods that will make all cooking a breeze, from quick weeknight family meals to entertaining for a crowd!

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?

Over 19 years, we’ve shared our passion with 100,000+ students in hundreds of classes and skills workshops. Here’s what folks have to say:

Amazing Food

We recently hosted a work event at Kitchen on Fire and it was absolutely amazing. With COVID still being an issue it has been difficult planning anything, but Sasha and the team made it easy from start to finish. Chef Olive made it a great time and the food turned out amazing! I can't wait to plan more events with Kitchen on Fire.

Enjoying Every Bite

Signed my 15yr old up for cooking classes unsure of what to expect. He loves to cook and makes amazing dishes. Well, Kitchen On Fire did not disappoint! He's having the best time, loves the exotic recipes and is enjoying every bite! The chefs are both incredible and it's a great way to get kids to try new foods. So glad we found Kitchen On Fire!

So Much Fun

We had so much fun with a virtual corporate event cooking with Chef Gaby and Chef Olive. If you need a team building event or something to do during your intern program, try them out! So much fun and learned great skills. Plus made delish food.
