The Best Cooking Classes In Amsterdam To Take

There’s something truly special taking classes with professional chef or experienced cooks, and thankfully there are plenty of cooking classes available in Amsterdam. These courses include several workshops around classic, international cuisine and others that focus on modern, cutting-edge gastronomy.

Dun Yong Cooking Studio

School

Toko Dun Yong contains six floors of Asian goods and products, ranging from fresh daikon radishes to authentic Chinese tableware. This multi-storey retail centre features a cooking studio on its first floor (that moonlights as a lunchtime ramen bar from Wednesday to Sunday). Several different types of cooking classes take place inside this studio throughout the month, including workshops that focus on Korean, Indian and Vietnamese cuisine.

Dutch Cooking Experience

At this 1.5 hour long course students learn to create several meals based on classic Dutch recipes such as roasted beetroot salad or apple pie topped with stroopwafel crust. The course takes place inside a custom-built kitchen that features 18 individual workstations and accommodates up to 240 participants. Drinks are freely available throughout the course and it is possible to stock up on Dutch delicacies afterwards at an onsite gift shop.

Mediamatic

Art Gallery

Mediamatic organises several ongoing workshops throughout the month that involve avant-garde and innovative gastronomy. These courses tend to focus on obscurer facets of food production such as fermentation or fungi cultivation and engage with contemporary development within the culinary arts. Mediamatic hosts many other workshops inside its state-of-the-art headquarters on Dijksgracht including classes that revolve around the organisation’s aquaponic greenhouse.

Moederskeuken

Moederskeuken offers budding gourmets the chance to participate in a wide variety of cooking workshops that range from introductory tapas lessons to advanced classes covering venison and game. After completing a class students are given another two hours to enjoy each others food and socialise. Moederskeuken organises courses at several locations throughout Amsterdam including spots near Centraal Station, Nieuwmarkt and Spaklerweg.
