Cooking Lessons
Through our Chef at Home service, KiaSal also offers cooking lessons from our professional chef. You can have our chef come into your home and teach you tips and tricks, as well as new recipes. Alternatively you can also book time in our kitchen to learn if yours isn't up to hosting.
Much like our menus, we can tailor lessons to your individual wants, whether just a fun lesson, or as a way to take your home kitchen-craft to a new level. Learn from any of our specialized cuisines at your own pace, or just learn the basics of knife-work and cooking for a solid foundation, it's up to you!
Whether you want one of our premade packages, or want something tailored to your specific culinary interests, we can accomodate. Rates for custom classes start as low as 45$ per hour. We also offer
group discounts starting at 28$ per person, per hour for groups of 5 or more.
