Company description

The League of Kitchens is a culinary dream-team of women from around the world who will welcome you into their homes, teach you their family recipes, and inspire you with their personal stories. In normal life (non-Covid-19 time), we offer culturally immersive cooking classes in New York City. We have now moved our classes online!

We opened in NYC in 2014. We currently have 12 instructors from all over the world, and have taught thousands of students from the U.S. and abroad.

Through this experience, we seek to build cross-cultural connection and understanding, and to increase access to traditional cooking knowledge.


The League of Kitchens has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Oprah Magazine, the Chew, Tasting Table, Saveur, The Splendid Table, and Time Out New York, among others. Conde Nast Traveler called the League of Kitchens “quite possibly the coolest foodie thing to do in NYC whether you're a visitor or local.”
