In-Home Cooking Parties for Adults and Youth

We offer cooking parties for adults and for youth who have attended Operation C.H.E.F. summer camps. Cooking is a terrific way to celebrate with your friends, whether the occasion is a birthday, a graduation, or a holiday! We will help you celebrate with a fun and dynamic cooking experience that gives the gift of delicious, healthy food to you and all of your friends.

How It Works
Each in-home cooking party lasting 2 hours and includes a knife skills and safety demo (that Operation C.H.E.F. camp graduates can help to lead), a minimum of one hour of cooking, and 15-20 minutes of plating and presentation. And, of course, every cooking party ends with a delicious meal to share with friends and family!

With each in-home cooking party, we provide:

Fun and festive instruction from one or more of our fabulous chefs.
A fully planned menu, complete with healthful nutrition tips and copies of the recipes.
Fresh, wholesome ingredients (we ask that you contribute only household condiments, spices and cooking oils)
Use of chef knives, cook’s tools, measuring cups & spoons, etc..
Assistance with dish washing and kitchen cleaning.
Operation C.H.E.F. aprons can be purchased for an additional $12/apron

Is there an age limit?
We hold cooking parties for ages 9 and up.

Will chefs travel to my home?
Our chefs are able to travel to Sausalito, Mill Valley, Tiburon, Larkspur, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Ross, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax, Novato, and West Marin.

What is the pricing for Cooking Parties?
Parties of 5 or less are $325, with $25 for each additional party-goer. Please contact us for rental rates if you wish rent space in a commercial kitchen.

Devin could not have been happier about camp! She LOVED it. She is coming back next year for sure... The lunch on the last day was so delicious and she was so proud of having cooked for us. -Robin Goldman

Josh had a fantastic time again this year at Chef camp. He is ready to go again next year (already)!... One of the best parts of sending him to the camp each year is that I know that I can confidently call upon his help in the kitchen... Thanks again for giving us all such a treat! - Laurie and Jacob Bastacky

Thank you so much for putting on such a wonderful camp! My son Luka came home very excited every night and is still talking about it... I have definitely seen an increase in his interest in food, cooking and nutrition... I am a holistic nutritionist, and have been trying to teach Luka about food ever since he was born, but unfortunately some information is better learned from non-family members. Thank you for teaching him! -Nathalie Fraise
