Netflix and chill is great and all, but instead of being a couch potato with your lover, why not actually cook potatoes with them instead?

Instead of nearly burning the house down trying to cook a romantic dinner for your anniversary, save yourselves a trip to the ER with these 7 handpicked couples cooking classes in beautiful NYC.

Romantic Dinner for Two

Home Cooking New York

If you and your partner are more of the high-maintenance type, then this couple’s class may be right for you.

From special champagne cocktails to dark chocolate mousse with fleur de sel whipped cream, you and your date will never have to make reservations again. Our reviewers gush about the friendly and personal instructors who are so knowledgeable that they make cooking amateurs feel like executive chefs at home.

Date Night

Students who have taken a course at this school rave about the amazing staff and say they can’t wait to come back to cook some more! In this class, you and your significant other will team up with other couples to create the ultimate family meal, such as lemon curds and roasted spatchcock chicken with citrus. And what’s a meal without a glass of wine or a cold beer (on the house, of course)? Just promise us you’ll drink responsibly.

Mia Chef Gelateria is one of New York City’s top culinary schools, specializing in artisan gelato. In Gelato Making, couples get to learn the history behind this ice cream-like concoction, so that not only will you learn how to make it, but you’ll also taste the history in every bite.

Sushi Basics
