The New York Culinary experience
Hosted by New York Magazine and the International Culinary Centre, the New York Culinary experience is a masterclass that takes place once a year in New York with a host of more than 30 of the culinary industry’s most celebrated talents. The business is set to announce its 2017 dates and is an experience which should not be missed! This two-day experience offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to cook side-by-side some of the best-renowned chefs in the world.
Last year the New York Culinary Experience saw the likes of Ricky Estrellado from Nobu and Ellesandra Altein from Bouchon Bakery, and this year the line-up is predicted to be even more exciting. This two-day course is filled with classes including a knife skill session, a signature dishes class that will wow your party guest in the future as well as a restaurant dessert class too. In addition to this, you will participate in a live Q&A with the chefs and also an interactive session with students who are the next generation of leading chefs. ‘Cooking, tasting, laughing and learning’ ate just a few words used to describe 2016’s masterclass and I am pretty sure 2017 will be filled with more laughs.

L’Atelier des Chefs
When we think about London, we think ‘cosmopolitan city’, and when it comes to culinary masterclasses at L’atelier des Chefs it doesn’t come much more cosmopolitan than that. This culinary masterclass located in the heart of London offers classes in Thai, Japanese, Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine to name a few. While participating in courses, you also have the opportunity to improve on your baking and knife skills as well as a ray of other skill learning opportunities.

Masterclass with the Master Chef at The Dorchester Hotel
The Dorchester Hotel in London also offers an exclusive masterclass experience. You will cook with Executive Chef; Henry Brosi, who has over 30 years culinary experience. This is the perfect gift, as it includes the masterclass, a goodie bag, and lunch too. Chef Henry Brosi is keen to share his passion for seasonal ingredients and fine for those who have an interest in culinary.
The South African Chef Association
If we go south of the globe, South Africa is a country that has a heavy focus on food. The South African Chef Association now hosted a number of culinary masterclasses for those who have a love or simply an interest in food and cooking. Unlike many other masterclasses, this course was introduced to promote South African products such as Ostrich brought to you by Klein Karro and sugar by Huletts promoting home grown produce.
