Exceptional! My wife and really enjoyed the entire evening. I especially did, given the fact that I am not good at cooking AT ALL. Chef Rakhi was accommodating, patient, and a wonderful teacher. I have now graduated from being the WORST CHEF. The Bistro experience was fabulous, but what truly made the experience exceptional, was simply the time we spent getting to know Chef Rakhi. She is and amazing woman with an amazing story. Can't wait to read the book.

My sister and I had such a wonderful time in Janet’s cooking class! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and approachable. We learned how to make a delicious bruschetta with olive tapenade, a perfectly cooked chicken marsala, and a silky panna cotta that was the perfect finish. Janet’s guidance made even the more intimidating steps feel easy, and we walked away with new skills—and full stomachs! Highly recommend her class to anyone looking for a hands-on and memorable culinary experience.

We had a great time with Chef Rakhi! She did a great job teaching us the proper steps and techniques, and educating us about the dishes. It was a pleasure to cook in her beautiful kitchen and the food turned out delicious!

Chef was fantastic! Food was delicious. I did think we'd have more hands on prep with the food. The creme brulee was already prepped - but we did get to sugar & brulee with the torch. The potatoes were already cut, peeled, and boiled so only 1 person got to mash. I did really like how the chef demonstrated how to cook the steak and make the mushroom sauce. We all got to do that at individual stations. The little burner was just ok and took a while when people didn't want to cross-cook steaks due to different temperature preferences. Overall, really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend for folks who want to learn some new prep methods.

Chef Janet was wonderful! She came to our house for a for a family class in Dim Sum and we had a great time, especially our 6 year old granddaughter. We learned a lot and appreciate that she was willing to teach all of us. Looking forward to scheduling again!

We had SO much fun with Janet! She taught us a lot, was really kind and had great convo, and the food was delicious! She also left us absolutely nothing to clean up afterwards. We would absolutely book again. It was a great choice for my husband’s bday.

We had a great time with Chef Andy! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We did the Vegan Chinese Takeout class. This is a great class for beginner and experienced vegans alike. Chef Andy did a great job of adapting to the varied skill levels in our group.

Janet was a hoot. We had so much fun making dimsum and every dish was beyond delicious. I can't wait to whip out these recipes for my next dinner party!

Chef Janet was AWESOME! Booked her Dim Sum class for my 2 year anniversary. She comes with everything you could need (you need to supply nothing but a stove and microwave!) and then takes home all of the dirty pots and pans - no clean up was a lovely surprise. She is funny and great to talk to. Oh and most importantly, the food was delicious!

Chef Andy's class was wonderful! He was informative, engaging, highly flexible, and most importantly patient. Our group of 30 had a blast and we would take another one of his class. I couldn't recommend his class enough.

I brought my team in for a fun end of year activity and Chef Andy and his team knocked it out of the park. The mystery basket had our team excited to try each of the courses, we were taught technique throughout the night, and still had time for mingling and tons of laughter. In the end, the food turned out delicious and our group had an incredible night. I highly recommend Chef Andy for any of your team or friend/family activities!

We had a great time with David! He did a great job ensuring that we were all engaged (to the extent each person wanted) with all our different skill levels. The food was great and we would highly recommend a class with him!

Our time with Chef Janet was nothing short of wonderful. It was a delightful experience to cook, converse, and create a wonderful memory with her. She was also very accommodating regarding potential dietary restrictions and made to share lots of useful techniques that could be used in our own cooking ventures. Please do yourself a favor and take one of her classes! You won’t regret it!

Chef Janet was great! She was super patient with us, explained everything clearly, and gave us some great tips!! We had a fantastic evening and are stuffed from so much sushi!

Andy's class was awesome! My husband and I came from Oklahoma in search of help learning to make a great crust for our new pizzeria. Andy did just that. He explained the how's and why's of every step of the recipe. His apartment was squeaky clean. He was very welcoming and friendly. The neighborhood seemed very safe. We very much enjoyed his class, even my husband, who was skeptical. I would totally recommend Chef Andy and his pizza class to anyone and everyone!

Truly such a fun & cozy evening! Andy made the whole experience educational, fun, and memorable. The pasta dishes were delicious, and he even tailored some of the recipes to our group. My boyfriend and I took Andy’s class & I couldn’t recommend this enough for a date night or fun group activity. He opened up his home to us & created such an awesome atmosphere.

For my bachelorette party in Chicago, my friends and I had the privilege of taking a class taught by Chef Andy. It was so fun! And we loved the food we cooked. We ran late arriving, but he totally rolled with it and had us whipping up some yummy pasta in no time at all. With the music bumping (and even some party lights by the end) we really enjoyed the experience and dinner.

Chef David was AWESOME!! We had such a great time. And David's sarcastic humor was top notch...and his cooking skills aren't bad either :-P Kidding...he was a great teacher, and very relaxed with so many things happening at once. Any level of cooking skill would do great in this class...and probably any class that is taught by David. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Chef Alex’s Advanced Pasta class was great! My boyfriend and I had a great time cooking with him - he is super personable & extremely knowledgeable with cooking tips & tricks. He brought everything we needed to make the recipes and did some great prep before hand to make sure class ran smoothly & on time. We would highly recommend his class to anyone interested! All of the dishes were SO DELICIOUS! Overall, great experience!!

Chef Andy exceeded our expectations for the Sushi making class. He was very pleasant to be around, made us feel comfortable and provided so much value whether it was the teaching us how to make the sushi, educating us on the history, techniques and even helping clean up after! We're definitely going to cook with Andy again, and are sure to recommend his classes to anyone interested. Thanks! -Ben&Sam

Had a WONDERFUL sushi experience with Chef Andy! He was very knowledgeable on food history as well as cooking techniques. He is easy to talk to and keeps the class fun and interesting. I definitely feel that I could take what he taught me in the class and create sushi on my own! Will be booking again

Chef Andy was excellent! This was our first private cooking class, and my husband and I enjoyed it. Chef Andy was very knowledgeable and highly skilled. He taught us basics and advanced cooking skills, we had fun and the Chinese food was delicious. We were able to repeat the recipes later that week and the food was very good. Chef Andy had the kindest and most helpful assistant too.

We hosted Chef Andy for a couples date and it was an amazing experience. Not only Chef Andy is extremely knowledgeable and help us demystify some recipes, he is also very comfortable by hosting his class and extremely fun. We learned and did the work, while still able to join a fun night among friends. We will definitely host Chef Andy more times.
