WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Chicago
09/13/2025
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!

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.
