WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Chicago

Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — but the Roasted Leek and Gruyère Croissant was truly top tier! I’m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

I had an AMAZING experience with Chef Titik! From the time that I entered her lovely space, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming greeting. The selection of the meal was great. The history of the food and culture was intriguing. I was intrigued by the interaction and the end result of the finished product. We all dined together and it felt like I was eating with family. The evening was simply marvelous!
