Chef Tianna Ottley was excellent! Class size was too big for available workspace/equipment. Recipes should have been printed out and given to all participants at the class.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Forget the carry-out and make your own dumplings and dim sum in this hands-on cooking experience led by Chef Paige. Each folded dumpling is a work of art featuring fresh ingredients. Begin by seasoning a savory pork filling before folding and pleating your dim sum dumplings to steam or pan-fry. Next up, a mixed filling of pork, shrimp and mushrooms makes a stunning potsticker that you will carefully brown and steam. Finally, Jiaozi dumplings, known to bring good luck, come together with a savory chicken and vegetable filling.

Had an amazing time, my siblings and I will definitely be doing more cozymeals soon!
I was disappointed with this dumpling class. The session felt poorly organized, and the class size was too large to allow for a meaningful hands-on learning experience. We didn’t get to make the items that were originally listed on the menu. Instead, we were asked to prepare additional off-menu items that we weren’t particularly interested in, which was frustrating. Additionally, there was a lack of sensitivity toward dietary restrictions, which made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, it wasn’t the quality learning experience I was hoping for, and I wouldn’t recommend this class.

Booked the class Romantic Italian Date Night in NYC with Chef Paige in Manhattan
My wife and I had a great time! Chef Oliver and his team were exceptionally talented, attentive, and well organized. The space was clean and the staff kept it clean and organized as the class progressed through the meal prep. They made the event engaging and smooth, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and supported throughout the cooking process. I definitely learned a few things. Additionally, the group dynamic made the event more enjoyable. The other participants were courteous and collaborative, which made working together enjoyable. Sharing the delicious "family-style" meal at the end was a delightful way to wrap up the class, and gave us all a wonderful opportunity to connect and get to know one another.

Booked the class Italian Dinner With Tiramisu Finale in NYC with Chef Paige in Manhattan
We attended an Italian dinner cooking class where we made fresh mozzarella, homemade pasta, and tiramisu—and they also served a delicious chicken marsala. I went with my wife and our two daughters, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for all of us. Chef Paige made the class both fun and informative. She explained techniques clearly, kept things engaging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable participating, regardless of skill level. We walked away having learned some great cooking tips that we’re excited to try again at home. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was especially rewarding to enjoy a full meal that we helped create ourselves. It was a perfect mix of learning, hands-on activity, and family time. I would highly recommend this class to anyone considering a cooking experience in NYC—it’s a memorable, enjoyable, and worthwhile activity for couples, families, or even a group of friends. -Jim H.
