If you want to keep the fire of desire burning well past Valentine’s Day, try spicing things up in the kitchen with some of the best virtual cooking lessons you can access from home. Not only will you have a romantic meal or new dish waiting for you at the end of your lesson, you’ll also be spending quality time together while creating new memories.

1. Amazon Explore: Learn Specialties from Locals Around the World

Amazon Explore launched last September and features virtual experiences with local experts from around the world. What’s more romantic than learning from locals in a faraway land how to create a special memory at home? With limited travel these days, a live cooking lesson led by someone in a place you both want to visit someday is a great way to keep up the anticipation of your future trip and explore the culture now.
One popular set of activities that’s available is cooking classes. From learning how to make homemade gnocchi to tapas, lessons start as low as $10. For a limited time, an extra 30% off discount will automatically be applied at checkout (no promo code required). Note: You will have to pick up your own ingredients to participate. Here are a few romantic options still available this weekend:

MasterClass


If you want to learn from world-renowned chefs, tune into MasterClass. You’ll have the chance to pick up on basic kitchen skills from Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, Wolfgang Puck and many more. A subscription to the learning platform is only $15 per month, so you could even keep things going after February. Make sure to fill up your refrigerator as the ingredients aren’t included. Since MasterClasses are preloaded, you can watch them anywhere at any time. Here are just a few options:

3. Cozymeal: Unique Cooking Lessons Ideal for Long-Distance Lovers

You won’t find the classes at Cozymeal anywhere else. If you scroll through the site, you’ll come across uniquely themed cooking classes like a 3-week long series to go vegan or an out of this world Mandalorian-inspired meal. The best part? These classes taught by expert chefs start at merely $29 per device. Just don’t forget to run to the grocery store for ingredients. Unlike MasterClass, these are live lessons, so you have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback. This is also a good option if you’re doing the long-distance thing since Cozymeal charges a per-device fee. Here are a few classes to consider:

Until February 15th, the platform is having a sale with courses as low as $11.99 (almost 70% off). All you’ll need here is a positive attitude and eagerness to learn as most classes will simply go over cooking fundamentals.

5. Airbnb Experiences: Get Atmosphere as Well as Access to True Foodies

Even though you can’t travel to romantic destinations, transport yourself virtually through food via Airbnb Experiences. Whether it’s making macarons or a Moroccan meal, the options on the vacation rental site are endless and well-vetted. A quick scroll through the first page and you’ll see classes starting at a modest $11 per person, so if you’re up for it, don’t hesitate to sign up for more than one. Just make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. Like Amazon Explore, Airbnb Experiences are also live and limited to a max number of people, so they’re offered only on certain days at specific times.
