About The Business

My Cooking Party provides interactive cooking experiences in New York City, focusing on fun and engaging events rather than traditional structured classes. They specialize in hosting cooking parties for various occasions, including corporate team building events, private celebrations, date nights, and kids’ parties. Participants work together in a hands-on environment to prepare meals under the guidance of instructors.

The offerings cater to different group sizes and event types, making them suitable for both small gatherings like date nights and larger corporate functions. The experiences are designed to be accessible to individuals of all skill levels, emphasizing enjoyment and social interaction while learning basic cooking techniques. The curriculum features a variety of global cuisines and popular dishes, allowing guests to explore different flavors and cooking styles during their party.

Located in Manhattan, the establishment provides a venue equipped for group cooking activities. The events are typically single-session experiences lasting a few hours. While they offer a selection of beverages for purchase, the venue does not permit guests to bring their own alcohol, maintaining a full bar service on site.

Avoid Gather & Forge – My Experience with Their Private Chef Services

September 12, 2025

I don’t usually write negative reviews, but I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else avoid the same mistake.

I hired Gather & Forge well in advance to provide a great private dining experience for guests I had flown in from across the country—two nights in a row. Both nights were a letdown.

The chef showed up 45 minutes to an hour late each night.

The food wasn’t hot. It came out lukewarm or even cool.

The quality of the meal didn’t justify the price. Honestly, I’d say the value was maybe 60% of what we paid.

I gave them plenty of chances to make it right, but they had no interest in doing so. As much as I think Brandon (the chef) worked hard, the overall service just didn’t live up to the cost or the expectations.

Bottom line: Gather & Forge is overpriced, underdelivers, and doesn’t seem to care about customer satisfaction. I really wanted this to be a great experience, but I would never use them again and highly discourage anyone from booking them for private chef services.

Fabulous venue for events & Italian cooking classes!

August 25, 2025

Our BYOB wine group had an amazing experience Saturday night at A Taste of Milan in the Southside with Chef Sidney and Katie! We learned how to make home made pasta and enjoyed her family recipes handed down from generations! Truly beyond 5 stars and it was a magical evening! Thank you Sidney and Katie
