Virtual Cooking Events


Virtual cooking classes are an ideal way to bond with colleagues, to host client events, and to connect with family and friends who live far away. People across different time zones can participate in the same virtual class.

Menus include a main course, a side dish, and a dessert. If you prefer a theme class, we can focus on pasta-making, pizza, or desserts. We can customize menus to suit dietary preferences such as gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, Kosher, etc.

Class typically lasts 90 minutes but it can be longer or shorter depending on your preference.

The cost is $50 per person with a 12-person paying minimum, plus a one-time $150 administrative fee.

A shopping list will be provided to the organizer a week prior to class. We can make up the shopping list to serve the whole team if you are all cooking together, or each individual participant if you are cooking separately.

We will also provide the organizer a detailed equipment list a week prior to class along with any advance prep notes.

BONUS: Participants will receive class recipes plus 3 free pdf recipe eBooks (Salads; Grilling; and Splendid Fruit Desserts, featuring 55 additional recipes with color photographs).

Chef Micol is filmed using multiple cameras to allow participants to better see what is happening at the stove, on the cutting board, etc. Dino is a real master of the camera and is able to capture all the culinary action so you'll feel like you're right in our kitchen.

Please use the event request form or email micol@rusticocooking.com to inquire about availability for your virtual event.

We look forward to cooking with you and your team!
