The Chef and I

I felt so boujee even just looking at the Chef and I’s website. Offering 120 minute classes, the Chef and I guarantees a hands-on learning experience while teaching you a variety of recipes and techniques. Along the way, you’ll be able to taste your dishes and upon finishing your experience, you are guaranteed a reservation. I personally am looking into Jamaican cuisine and Spanish tapas cooking experiences.

Located in West Nashville, the Kitchen isn’t just a kitchen store but also home to a culinary school that offers countless cooking classes and tips. These aren’t ordinary pasta-making classes. When in the Kitchen, you’ll be making things like paella, sushi, and arancini. They even offer a dutch oven cooking class where you’ll learn to make delicious meals like beef stew using a dutch oven.

Southern Belle Biscuit
Prices not listed
There is no way you can be in Nashville without taking a biscuits and gravy class. Making biscuits is a Nashville tradition, and I can already see the memories being made at this class. The shop was even featured in a House Hunters HGTV show. The entire crew all raved about the biscuits and gravy by the end of the shoot.

Dabble Studio is truly a jack of all trades. Specializing in both painting and cooking classes, it’s safe to say this place does it all. There’s even virtual cooking events via Zoom.
