There are 9 TYPES OF CHEFS that need to consider offering cooking classes as a part of their business model:
ONE:
You’re tired of catering. 😩 You got into it because everyone told you how great of a cook you are and how they would use you for all of their events and parties. Now, after a few years, you realize that you hate schlepping around hot boxes.
TWO:
You’re currently maxed out on personal chef clients 😬 and don’t have anymore room in your week to cook for another person, but you still haven’t hit your revenue goals and your not sure how to get there and you really don’t want to hire another person yet.
THREE:
You really love creating food content, but you’re tired of waiting on brands to get paid for your work. 🙄 You’re making decent income from affiliate sales and ads, but you want to take a more proactive approach over your income.
FOUR:
You finally did it! 👍🏿 You wrote that cookbook that you have been thinking about for years and then, you launched it to crickets and realized that you would have to sell hundreds, if not thousands of copies a month to hit your income goals.
FIVE:
You love to cook, but if you were being honest with yourself you don’t love being in the kitchen all of the time. 😏 You feel like you’re tied to your stove.
SEVEN:
You’ve changed careers and maybe even went culinary school. 🫠 You know that you want to do food full-time and that this time around you want to work for yourself, but you haven’t seen anything that really makes your heart sing and all you do know is that you don’t want to to work in a restaurant or hotel.
SIX:
You’ve been in the industry a long time, and you’re looking for a way to still earn income but that doesn’t require you being on your feet for 12 hours a day 😐 and that doesn’t require you to keep working nights, weekends and holidays. you’re ready for a change.
EIGHT:
You’ve fallen out of love with what you do. 😔 While you haven’t fallen out of love with cooking, the business that you have just ins’t satisfying anymore. Honestly you dread it, but it pays the bills. You know you can just close everything down, but you desperately need to start working on an another way to stay in the industry that you love and earn income doing it.
NINE:
You really don’t enjoy being in a “back of the house” style business. 🥴 The entire reason you got into food is because you love bringing people together over a great meal and being in the back just doesn’t satisfy your soul. This is not how you thought things were going to be. You need a business model that allows you to get back to the things that made you fall in love with food in the first place.

Hi! I’m Chef Evelyn,
And I’ve been teaching recreational cooking classes since 2010.
Once I started teaching cooking classes, I knew that I was home. I found the perfect mix of cooking, entertaining, feeding people and bringing people together, all while sharing my love of food.
When I found out how profitable cooking classes were, how much fun they were AND how they allowed me to have control over my time, I was hooked.
From online classes and courses, cooking classes in my clients’ homes, Corporate cooking demonstrations to running an award winning cooking school, and being the Resident Chef at Sur la Table and Central Market, I’ve done it all.
Over the years, I’ve taught more than 20,000 people how to cook. And what I can tell you from experience is that there are some specific strategies that go into having a successful cooking class business.
Whether you want a full time cooking class business or you just want to add cooking classes as part of what you are already doing, I’m excited to have you in the masterclass so that I can share my experience with you to get you closer to your goals.
