Corporate Teambuilding & Private Events  

The world-renowned De Gustibus Cooking School by Miele — which partnered with Cooking by the Book (CBTB) in 2023 — hosts both corporate and private events that educate, inspire, and entertain. Corporations come to us for impactful teambuilding experiences. Individuals come for private events: birthdays, bachelorette parties, or cooking parties. Our key feature is the hands-on program. Every event is fully hands-on. You come into the kitchen, our culinary experts guide the preparation of every dish and demonstrate skills and techniques to help you elevate your cooking at home. Teams dine on their own creations.

We're currently booking dates, so please feel free to reach out to De Gustibus Director of Events Emmy Jang or Suzi O’Rourke for more information.

We also rent our state-of-the-art kitchen and culinary space for photoshoots, recipe testing, and product tasting. For more information, call us at Director of Events Emmy Jang at 212-239-1652 or email us at emmy@degustibusnyc.com.
