3 Cooking Classes in Belgium Worth Booking

1.Experience Authentic Belgian Cuisine: Cooking Lesson and Meal with a Ghent Local

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Spend four hours in Wondelgem, Ghent, with Suzy and Bob. Tour their garden, cook seasonal Belgian dishes such as stoverij or witloof, then sit down together with beer or wine. This private Traveling Spoon visit feels more like being welcomed into a Belgian home than attending a standard cooking class.

“Words truly can't begin to describe how much fun this cooking experience was for me and my family. This was our first time out of the country (United States) and we've truly never done anything like this - however, we couldn't be more pleased. Upon arrival, Suzy made us feel just like family and gave us a tour of her beautiful home and garden! Suzy and her husband Bob were so delightful and fun to spend time with. It was so clear that Suzy loves hosting and has a true gift of hospitality - She went above and beyond to prepare food we would enjoy and teach us so much…”

“We absolutely loved our experience with Ine. We had a truly memorable evening. Ine took us around the area, showing us several stores and shops. Then we went to her apartment where we enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with conversation, laughter, wine, champagne, and of course, food. Ine was a gracious host, and we stayed much longer than we had intended. It was truly like spending an evening with a long-time friend.”
