Private Cooking Classes

Bring the Crosswood Cooking Collective experience into your home, Airbnb, office, or private event space with fully hands-on cooking classes designed for groups looking for something more interactive, memorable, and personal than a traditional dinner reservation.

Every private class is chef-led by Jesse Cross and includes all ingredients, equipment, setup, instruction, and the food you prepared enjoyed together at the end of the experience.

Classes are relaxed, social, beginner-friendly, and built to feel like a great night out while still teaching real techniques and practical skills guests can take home.

Minimum Group Size

Private classes require a minimum of 4 guests.

Custom class themes and collaborative menu planning are also available for birthdays, date nights, corporate gatherings, team building events, bachelorette parties, winery events, and private celebrations.

Included In Every Class

  • Full hands-on instruction

  • All ingredients and equipment

  • Ingredient prep and setup

  • Cleanup after the event

  • Relaxed and interactive atmosphere

Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner party or a larger social gathering, Crosswood Cooking Collective private classes are designed to create memorable experiences centered around great food and good company.
