Taste Buds Kitchen

Taste Buds Kitchen is a women-owned culinary school in Chelsea offering hands-on cooking classes for adults in a fully equipped, nut-free kitchen on the tenth floor of a building overlooking the city. Classes are BYOB, all ingredients are provided, and the format is social enough that going solo is genuinely fun rather than awkward. Founded in 2007, the school has a separate curriculum from marketplace-model cooking class platforms and a dedicated regular clientele.
