Georgian Cooking Class

Learn how to cook Georgian cuisine in this cooking class in Manhattan!



3 hours Location Greenwich Village Class size 1 to 12 (public classes), 8 to 16   $135 - $145 ($145 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $135/guest for 10+ guests)

Discover the rich flavors of Georgian cuisine in this hands-on cooking class in Manhattan. Learn how to make five traditional Georgian dishes, from savory favorites to a classic dessert, before sitting down to enjoy everything you’ve made together.
Georgian food is one of the great under-explored cuisines, and we’re not talking about the US state! We mean the beautiful country nestled in the Caucasus Mountains. In this cooking class, you’ll learn how to make authentic Georgian dishes while discovering the unique blend of European and Asian influences that make this cuisine so delicious.
You’ll prepare spinach pkhali with walnuts and pomegranate, roasted eggplants with walnut pesto, chicken shkmeruli in garlic cream sauce, and acharuli khachapuri, the famous cheese boat topped with a whole egg. Finish with tatara, a traditional dessert made with grape juice, cornmeal, and toasted walnuts.
Spend two hours cooking and then an hour around the table enjoying your creations. It’s a fun choice for date night ideas in NYC, a team outing, or a fun birthday party, and you’ll leave with Georgian recipes you can recreate at home.

Recent reviews of Georgian Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Danielle Ruggirello, attended Nov 2026: Teacher was great!
  • 5/5 from Kate Schutzengel, attended Sep 2026: We attended the Georgian cooking class for a team event and it was a great way to bond with each other while enjoying our meal. The cooking itself was very approachable, the teacher did a bit more of the cooking than I expected. It was great for exposure to the cuisine and some techniques, but if you're looking for fully hands-on class this might not be the one for you. For us it was perfect because we had some activity but got to enjoy our meal together. Special bonus that our instructor was from Georgia!
  • 5/5 from Marianne Kosits, attended Jul 2026: Dona is an outstanding teacher and chef. She made each step clear and we were able to put together a Georgian feast as a class. I really enjoyed and appreciated the view into the Georgian culture as well. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Jon Dibello, attended Jul 2026: The class was great! Dana, the instructor, was welcoming, organized, and knowledgeable about Georgian cuisine. We learned how to make several types of Georgian vegetable pies, khachapuri (cheese bread boat), and shkmeruli (chicken braised in milk-garlic sauce). Dana kept things fun and explained the techniques and history behind each dish. There space was clean and there was enough space.

  • 5/5 from Jack Arnold, attended Jan 2025: This was exactly the experience I was hoping for: A calm cooking environment where the instructors take their time to not just show us how to cook, but *teach* us, including our knife skills. The food was excellent, the kitchen impressive, and the vibes splendid. We'll be looking to come back again!
