Cinco de Mayo, but make it hands-on 🌮✨
Fresh-pressed corn tortillas, vibrant toppings, and a room full of people actually cooking (and laughing) together.
From dough to finished tacos, we turn resident events into something interactive, social, and genuinely memorable.

We’re in the mood for love 💗 and pink pasta! We added a touch of beet purée to our classic pasta dough recipe for our students to create this gorgeous pink farfalle and fettuccine in our couples Valentine’s Day class. Paired with a deliciously aromatic browned butter and sage sauce, and topped with freshly grated Parmesan, it’s perfect for a Valentine’s Day dinner 🥂 complete with Prosecco and lots of sweet treats!

Friends, what a year! We’ve been quiet on Instagram but busy pivoting and creating.
*
We rung in the year with our usual bustle and hustle of bespoke cooking classes (on-location chocolate truffles, hand-folded dumplings and sushi, to name a few) and when the pandemic hit, we shifted our classes online.
*
We virtually hosted guests from all over the world in free public cooking classes to help raise money to support our staff, as well as private custom events with curated meal kits delivered around the country.
*
We launched a prepared meal delivery service and many other exciting projects. COVID has dealt a significant blow to our industry and our team, and we’re thankful for the hope ahead. We can’t wait to get back to teaching you and hosting amazing culinary-focused events in 2021!

Thank you for sticking with us! Thank you to our amazing team who pivoted and worked hard to make our virtual and new ventures a success. And thank you to the incredible support of teams who partnered with us to provide delicious food, unique and skilled instruction and top notch service to their residents and clients. Cheers to 2021!

It’s been a challenging month. We shut our doors in March but not our hearts, and we’ve been hard at work in two important ways:
1. We are committed to supporting our passionate, hard-working team. These chefs, kitchen assistants, event managers and porters are without income at this time, and we have been blessed with more than $2,000 of donations through our GoFundMe campaign (link in bio). Help us reach our goal of $10k, 100% of which will be allocated to our incredible hourly staff.
2. We have launched our virtual interactive experiences, bringing the same exciting food experience into your home, while we cook together every step of the way. Make tagliatelle carbonara from scratch, authentic Colombian arepas, and much, much more (see citycookingwestend.com to sign up)! And best of all, we are offering these classes FOR FREE through May 15 in line with NY stay at home restrictions. Join us and Unleash Your Inner Chef!

Last week we were thrilled to partner with for a 🔥virtual cooking class for their residents featuring 's comforting lentil soup while maintaining social distancing and staying at home👨🍳
Residents virtually cooked alongside our head chef Ken using meal kits from that included all the ingredients needed to make this delicious soup. After going through knife skills basics we got cooking - boiling french lentils, caramelizing onions and tomato flavors, and adding spices. We finished the dish with a squeeze of lemon - yum!
Support our friends - they're open for delivery and take out and ready to bring you their delicious mediterranean fare!

Tonight’s class featured handmade tagliatelle🍝, a daunting task in a normal cooking class, let alone a virtual one. And without pasta rollers! But being able to ask questions to Chef Ken live made it all possible, and delicious 😋
