Every class is built around you — your kitchen, your pace, your taste. Real technique, real food, no pressure.
Cooking found me long before I called it a passion — and turning that into a way to teach others is the part I love most. Every class starts where you are, whether that's learning to hold a knife or refining a dish you already know. No judgment, just real food and real progress.
"Cooking isn't about perfection — it's about building confidence, one dish at a time."
From one-on-one lessons to small group sessions. Every format is built around real hands-on cooking.
We talk about your goals, skill level, dietary preferences and the kind of experience you're after.
I design a personalized lesson plan and menu, matched to your taste and the occasion.
In person in Los Angeles or online from anywhere — hands-on cooking, step by step, together.
"I could barely boil rice six months ago. Now I host dinner parties. Maya makes everything feel achievable, one step at a time."
"We booked a couples class for our anniversary and it turned into our favorite date night ever. Fun, hands-on, and the food was actually great — we still make the pasta at home."
"Maya ran an online session for our whole team and it was the best remote team activity we've done. Everyone cooked along from their own kitchen and it actually worked."
Spots are limited each month. Reach out to check availability and start planning your class.
Every class starts with a conversation. Tell me about your goals or your occasion and let's create something great.
