Who can give cooking classes?
Anyone with a solid knowledge of cooking and culinary skills can offer a unique experience to all food lovers. This can include professional chefs, pastry chefs, caterers, head chefs, restaurateurs, culinary students or passionate cooking enthusiasts. It is not necessary to have a degree or a specific certification to teach cooking classes, but having professional culinary training or work experience in the restaurant industry can be an advantage.

When to call a cooking instructor?
There are several reasons why you might hire a cooking teacher: • If you're a beginner chef and want to learn the basics of cooking (preparation, presentation...) and basic culinary techniques, a cooking teacher can help you acquire the necessary skills to prepare simple, gluten-free, and nutritious recipes. • If you're an experienced chef and want to improve your culinary skills or are looking to change careers, a cooking teacher can help you learn new preparation and tasting techniques, new recipes, the basics of food and wine pairing, and improve your culinary art. • If you want to learn how to cook international dishes (world cuisine, French cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Thai cuisine, Italian cuisine, Indian cuisine, etc.) or special dishes (vegetarian cuisine, creative cuisine, molecular cuisine, organic cuisine, etc.) for special occasions (wedding, bachelorette/bachelor parties, etc.), a cooking teacher can help you master these techniques and prepare these dishes in a professional manner. • If you're a culinary professional and want to develop your teaching skills, a cooking teacher can help you acquire the necessary skills to teach cooking to others by organizing a culinary workshop, a chef's workshop, culinary events (such as the Meilleur Ouvrier de France) with local products, seasonal products, and fresh products.

What is the salary of a cooking teacher?
The average price for a cooking class ranges from 17 to 80 euros. There are several pricing options for taking a cooking class. Some chefs offer classes individually or in groups in their workshops. It is worth noting that the prices for these courses depend heavily on the chef's reputation. If it is a Michelin-starred chef, the price may be higher. The topic of the class also has an impact on the price. The rarer and more expensive the ingredients needed to make a dish, the higher the price is likely to be. Depending on the topic, the price of a cooking class varies from 15 € to 170 € per person. Some chefs also offer cooking classes at home and will even recreate your favourite recipes by offering a set of dishes to try. The cost of a private chef service at home is around 34 euros for a single person and around 85 euros for a group or a family of 5 people.
How to choose a good cooking teacher?

If you have a particular interest in a specific type of cuisine, check if your teacher has experience in that field. Ask friends or family members if they know a good cooking teacher and look for reviews online on potential teachers. Choose a teacher who makes you comfortable and is able to explain things to you clearly and concisely. Discuss your learning goals with your teacher and make sure that he or she is able to help you achieve them.
