Learn to Cook where you gather & entertain

Moab is a base camp. The groups we cook with came to ride, climb, raft, or hike Arches and Canyonlands all day — and by evening they're worn out, hungry, and in no mood to clean up and drive into town for a table. A hands-on cooking class flips that into the best part of the night: the whole crew back at the rental, in the kitchen together, dinner earned the same way the trail was.

We teach to match the crowd — relaxed, hands-on, zero formality, and built to feed people who actually worked for their appetite. Menus go big and satisfying, the format flexes from a loose competitive cook-off to a straightforward group dinner, and we handle the haul-in, the instruction, and every dish at the end. You spent the day outside; the evening should feel like a reward, not a chore.

Moab Cooking Classes

Three Ways to Cook With Us

Every class is built around your skill level, your kitchen or venue, and the cuisine you want to learn. Choose the format that fits — each one is led personally by a CIA-trained chef, not a coordinator.

01

Private In-Home Class

One-on-one or a small household in your own kitchen. Choose the cuisine, set the pace, and learn the techniques you'll actually use — from knife skills to a full multi-course menu. Ideal for couples, families, and gifts.

1-8 Guests
02

Group Class

A relaxed, hands-on class for an adventure crew, a friend trip, or a celebration. Everyone cooks, everyone learns, and the night ends around the table with the meal you made together after a day on the rock.

10-20 Guests
03

Corporate Team-Building

Team-building that actually builds teams. Competitive cook-offs or collaborative menus for groups of 15 to 100 — a natural fit for Moab adventure retreats and offsites. We handle setup, instruction, and the shared meal at the end.

15-100 Guests

What You'll Cook

A Custom Curriculum,
Built Around What You Want to Learn

There's no fixed syllabus. Every class starts with a short conversation about what the group wants out of it — a loose competitive cook-off, a big satisfying group dinner, or learning to make something specific. We build the curriculum around that, and around how much you've got left in the tank after a day outside.

Because Chef Steve is CIA-trained and has cooked across 30+ markets, classes go beyond recipes into real technique — the why behind the method, so what you learn carries into every meal you cook afterward. The food is built to actually refuel a crew that earned it.

How It Works

From Inquiry to Apron On

A chef-led class designed around a real conversation — not a fixed syllabus or a packed group-class roster you get slotted into.

01

Inquire

Submit the form above or call us directly with your format, group size, and dates.

Booking platforms slot you into a fixed public class.

02

Curriculum Call

A 15-minute call to scope skill level, cuisine, dietary needs, and your kitchen or venue.

Most classes hand you a set menu with no input.

03

Custom Class Plan

Within 24 hours: a tailored class outline, dish list, and what to expect on the day.

Generic classes repeat the same menu every week.

04

Chef Arrives

We bring ingredients, tools, and a CIA-trained chef to your home or venue. You bring the appetite.

Studio classes mean travel, parking, and someone else's kitchen.

05

Cook & Sit Down

Hands-on cooking, real technique, then everyone sits down to enjoy the meal together.

Demo-only classes mean you watch instead of cook.

The MileHighCook Difference

Three Principles, Every Class

While most cooking classes are fixed-menu, demo-style sessions in a rented studio, every MileHighCook class is built around three principles.

One Chef. One Owner.
One Standard.

Chef Steve teaches and oversees every class personally. Not a rotating instructor, not a sub-contractor. The person who designs your curriculum is the one in your kitchen.

Custom Curriculum

Every class designed around your skill level, your guests, and the cuisine you want to learn. No fixed syllabus. No one-size-fits-all menu. Yours, not ours.

Hands-On, In Your Space

You cook — this is not a demo. We come to your home or venue with everything needed, so you learn in the kitchen you'll actually use.

We bring everything — ingredients, specialty tools, and a CIA-trained chef. You just provide the kitchen and the people. In Moab, that's often a home or resort-style kitchen, which works perfectly for a hands-on class.
All of them. We tailor every class to the group — complete beginners learning knife skills, confident home cooks leveling up technique, or a mixed group where everyone works at their own pace. The curriculum call is where we calibrate it.
Yes — Moab's indoor-outdoor entertaining style is ideal for it. We can build a class around grilling, live-fire, and patio cooking, or keep it in the kitchen and move to the table outside. We adapt to your space and the season.
A private class (1–8 guests) is built entirely around you — your kitchen, your pace, your menu. A group class (10–20) is a livelier, social format for friends, families, or celebrations. Both are hands-on and led personally by Chef Steve.
Yes. Corporate sessions run from 15 to 100 guests and work as competitive team challenges or collaborative menus. They're popular for Moab retreats, conferences, and offsites — we handle setup, instruction, and the meal everyone shares at the end.
Most classes run 2–3 hours: hands-on cooking followed by sitting down to enjoy the meal you made together. Corporate sessions and multi-course classes can run longer — we'll confirm timing on the curriculum call.
Absolutely. We design the curriculum around any dietary needs — gluten-free, vegan, allergies, or specific protocols. Tell us on the intake call and we'll build a class everyone can fully take part in.
Whatever you want to cook. Popular starting points include fresh pasta, regional Italian and French, Southwestern and Mexican cuisine, knife skills, and seasonal market cooking — but the class is shaped entirely around your request.
Yes — we come to you, whether that's a private residence, a vacation rental, or a resort-area home. Moab home and rental kitchens are some of our most common class settings.
