How CHEFIN Virtual Cooking Classes Works?
Bring your partner (or your favourite couple friends) together for a romantic, interactive cooking experience — without leaving home. CHEFIN’s Online Valentine’s Cooking Class with a Private Chef lets you cook alongside a professional chef in your own kitchen, creating a special date night that’s personal, fun, and genuinely delicious.
Here’s how it works:
👩🍳 Live Online Class – Hosted via Google Meet (or Zoom if preferred) and recorded so you can rewatch later.
📩 Before the Class – You’ll receive a welcome email introducing your chef and the Valentine’s menu, plus a shopping list, recipe booklet, and simple prep guide.
🧄 Prep Made Easy – Shop for ingredients and do light prep (washing, chopping, measuring) before the class so you can cook smoothly live.
🎥 Interactive Cooking Experience – Join the link, follow your chef step-by-step, ask questions, and pick up pro tips, plating ideas, and chef tricks along the way.
💑 Perfect for Couples – Ideal for one couple or small groups (double dates). For larger groups, we can run sub-groups with additional chefs to keep it personal.
Whether you’re planning a Valentine’s date night, an anniversary, or a surprise “just because,” this online class turns your kitchen into the best table in the house.

Frequently Asked questions
What menu will I cook during the class?
Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll share the class menu so everyone knows what they’ll be making. The chef will teach two canapes, one entrée and one main, with clear steps that are designed to be achievable at home. Dietary needs can be accommodated where possible — just let us know in advance.
Can I choose a specific chef for our class?
Yes, where availability allows. After your booking is confirmed, we’ll match you with the most suitable chef based on your preferred cuisine, group type (team or private), and schedule. If you have a chef in mind, tell us and we’ll do our best to arrange it.
How does booking a Virtual Cooking Class work?
Book online and you’ll receive a confirmation email with next steps. Each participant will receive a welcome email introducing the chef and class menu, plus a shopping list, recipe booklet, and prep guide. On the day, you’ll join via Google Meet (or Zoom if preferred) and cook along live.
Do you run classes for my group size?
Yes. Virtual Cooking Classes are ideal for less than 12 participants. For larger groups, we can run multiple sub-groups with additional chefs or facilitators to keep the experience interactive and personal.
What do I need to prepare before the class?
Each participant will need their own ingredients, plus basic kitchen equipment and a stable internet connection. We recommend completing light prep beforehand — washing, chopping, and measuring — so everyone can cook smoothly during the live session.
What time should we join, and how long does it run?
We recommend joining 5–10 minutes early to test audio and video. Most classes run for 60–90 minutes, depending on the menu and group size. The session can also be recorded so you can rewatch or share with anyone who missed it.
Something different for your romantic date?
Why not choose a virtual cooking class?
An online private class gives you the romance, the learning, and the convenience—without the stress of going out. It’s intimate, interactive, and designed to fit real life (kids, schedules, and all), while still delivering a restaurant-worthy night at home.
- No Babysitter? No Worries. Enjoy a 5-star date night while kids are in the next room—start together, then finish as a couple.
- BYO Everything. Bring your own wine and snacks—no venue markups, no minimum spends, just your favourite bottles and a great chef online.
- Skills for Life. You don’t just eat the menu; you learn to cook it again. So this Valentine’s cooking can become your signature meal.
- Background Checked Chefs. For family sessions, chefs hold relevant checks (e.g., WWCC/Blue Card) and follow strict safety and hygiene protocols.
- Flexible Platforms. Zoom, Google Meet, or FaceTime. Choose what suits you best.
- Recording Included. Get a recording so you can replay the tips, relive the date, and recreate the dishes for anniversaries or future date nights.
This Experience Is Perfect For
- Valentine’s Day date night at home
- Couples cooking classes with a loved one
- Double dates or small group virtual nights
- Family-friendly Valentine’s celebrations
- Food-loving couples wanting something interactive

The MasterChef-at-Home Experience (Live & Luxe)
This isn’t a pre-recorded video—it’s a fully interactive online cooking class with a private chef, live. Ask questions any moment: Is my sauce too thick? Get instant feedback. Preparation feel just like a breeze. You’ll get a shopping list of ingredients and equipments that can be used for Coles/Woolworths online order. Everything you need will be ready with just a few clicks. To create a vibrant summer romance in Australia, think Pan seared barramundi with mango salsa or gin & lime cured salmon. Fancy, fresh flavor and achievable at home.
Family-Friendly Junior Sous Option
For families, this online cooking class with chef becomes a shared experience. Choose an early-bird session (around 4:30 PM) where kids help prepare the entrée — handmade pasta, dumplings, or cookies. Kids learn simple culinary skills using tasks that are age appropriate such as safe knife handling and simple baking science. Later, transition into a 7:30 PM adults-only session for the main. Start together, then finish with a candlelit date night while kids enjoy the dessert they helped create. Fun, educational, and genuinely memorable.
Interactive Technical Perks
We’ll help you make your online class feel smooth and professional — with tips on how to position your laptop or tablet to have the optimal angle of your stove and bench so that your chef can see and help well (and yes, impress your date with confident moves!). Want to elevate the vibe? Add a “Chef’s Bottle Shop Picks” pairing guide, recommending Australian wines to pair beautifully with your menu — think a Margaret River Chardonnay or Barossa Shiraz — for your date night to feel phenomenal.
Send a Valentine’s Gift in Minutes
Need a last-minute Valentine’s gift, but want it to still be thoughtful? This online cooking class is an experience you can gift that is instant – romantic, authentic and much more memorable than flowers. Perfect for partners, long-distance couples, or friends that love a great date night. Add a bottle of wine and set a date – done.
