What makes us unique?

Artisanal home cooking
Hand-made pasta? Sashimi? Medium-rare rack of lamb? Port reduction? With our help, you can do it all! In Helen's Kitchen, you won't only learn the right cooking techniques, but discover the local farms, fishmongers, and butchers who are as passionate about gastronomy as you are. We don't dumb things down. With proper training and practice, your home cooking can rival the best restaurants of Boston.

Small class size
How exactly are we going to accomplish such lofty goals in 3-4 hours? By keeping our class size small. You'll be sharing Helen's Kitchen with only 7 other students. This allows us to give every student the necessary attention and plenty of hands-on practice. There are no observers in this kitchen! If you want a cooking show, you might as well turn on Food TV. Everyone gets to slice, dice, poach, roast, braise, and knead. And of course, everyone gets to taste. Each class finishes with a fabulous meal.

Real Home Kitchen
Our kitchen is cozy and comfortable, decorated with fabrics and pottery from our travels in Provence. We don't have a Wolf's stove, hearth oven, or a walk-in fridge. We do have sharp knives, good pots and pans, and a few fun kitchen toys. Helen's Kitchen is a regular home kitchen just like yours, so you won't be wondering how to reproduce the magic with your own equipment.
