Experimenting in the kitchen is one way to hone culinary skills, but learning from an experienced professional may yield better results. If you’re wondering what to give the more discerning people on your list this Christmas, consider surprising them with cooking classes! Here are three reasons cooking classes make an unforgettable present.

Why Give a Cooking Class as a Christmas Gift?

1. Experiences Have Meaning

Giving the gift of an experience can be more meaningful than handing over a wrapped present. With a physical gift, you can’t be certain the person doesn’t already have what you got them, or that it’s the right gift for them. But an experience is something you selected specifically because you felt they might enjoy it based on their personality. New experiences can contribute to the person’s well-being by helping them to step outside of their comfort zone, learn something new, and make memories.

2. Learn Something Useful

Cooking classes teach a genuinely useful skill that the recipient can develop for a lifetime. If they’ve long struggled to prepare dinner, or are more likely to dine out than cook, exploring the culinary world could be a step toward making a change in their lives. And because it’s a Christmas gift, they’ll feel excited about starting the year off on the right foot and beginning their path toward success in the kitchen.

3. Many Different Options

There’s more than one type of cooking class! Maybe the person you’re surprising isn’t quite a novice but could brush up on their knife skills. Or maybe they specifically want to learn how to cook Indian food or sushi. There are classes for that and more. Have fun selecting courses that are tailored to your recipient’s needs and interests.
