Free Cooking Classes This Month: Pizza & Pasta Skills Series

Reserve a FREE spot at the Williams Sonoma May Skills Series featuring homemade pizza, fresh pasta, and Italian cooking classes happening every Sunday in May at participating stores.

You know that moment when you watch someone make fresh pasta and suddenly feel wildly confident you could become an Italian chef overnight? Same.

Williams Sonoma is bringing back its popular free cooking classes, and honestly, this month’s lineup might be the tastiest one yet. We’re talking homemade pizza, spicy rigatoni, lemon caper pasta, and summer pasta salads that look suspiciously like something you’d pay $24 for at brunch.

These classes are completely free. No purchase necessary.

Your Pasta Chef Era Starts Here

The Williams Sonoma Skills Series is designed for regular people who want to level up their kitchen game without feeling intimidated. Whether you’re a total beginner or already own three kinds of olive oil “for flavor profiles,” there’s something fun here.

Each class focuses on hands-on cooking techniques, kitchen tools, and recipes you can actually recreate at home later. Plus, you get to see premium kitchen gadgets in action before committing to anything expensive. That alone feels like a public service. And let’s be honest, free events that involve carbs are always worth considering.
