Moscow cooking classes guide

I often get "where to go" questions about Moscow cooking classes. I have to say - it is amazing how many classer are now available in the city. The list of places I visited and places "to go" became so long that I thought it's a good time to put it together and share.

Most of the classes are yet in Russian. I specified places where English is for sure available.
