For Just AED 150, Roll Sushi, Cook Pasta At This Private Cooking Masterclass In Dubai

Cooking classes usually sound either too serious or a bit too staged. Not this one. Le Gourmet inside Galeries Lafayette has decided to shake things up with a private, hands-on cooking masterclass in Dubai. These aren’t your sit-and-watch demos — guests actually get stuck in. One day you could be rolling sushi, the next you’re folding dumplings, or even hand-tossing pizza dough like you’re in Naples.

It’s a rare mix of education and entertainment. You learn, you laugh, and yes, you eat.

Here’s the deal: you tie on an apron, stand shoulder to shoulder with professional chefs, and cook from scratch. There’s chopping, kneading, stirring, steaming — the whole messy, rewarding lot. The chefs keep things light and interactive, so even complete beginners don’t feel lost.

Prices start at AED 150 a head, which includes drinks to keep you going. And because no one wants to spend an afternoon cooking only to stare at the food, the grand finale is obvious — you sit down and eat whatever you’ve made. Come on, that’s the highlight, right?

Why Groups Are Loving It

Now here’s the clever part. These workshops aren’t just for foodies with spare time. Le Gourmet has opened them up for private group bookings, with 15 guests or more. Companies are using them for team-building, families for birthdays, and friends for an unusual night out. You also get to pick the cuisine: Arabic, Italian, Indian, or Asian.

In practice, that flexibility makes it more than just a private cooking masterclass in Dubai. It’s a ready-made social event that doubles as a memory-maker. To be fair, there aren’t many activities that work for kids, adults, and colleagues all at once. This one somehow does.

Why This Works In Dubai

Dubai is a city where dining out is almost a competitive sport. With so many restaurants, you’d think cooking at home would fall flat. Yet this format feels different — it turns dining into a shared activity rather than a transaction. Le Gourmet, already known for blurring the line between retail and dining, has found a neat way to keep people engaged inside its doors.

Let’s face it, you won’t walk away as a sushi master after one private cooking masterclass in Dubai. But you will get bragging rights, some new skills, and an excuse to post that “look what I made” shot on Instagram. And honestly, that’s half the fun.

More Than Just Food

If you’ve been searching for something beyond the usual dinners and brunches, this might be the culinary adventure to book. After all, the best meals aren’t only about taste. They’re about the story of how you got there.
