Arlene

09 Jul 2024

Chef Marion was excellent. The class was a lot of fun. The ovens weren't big enough or didn't cook evenly enough. Despite Chef Marion rotating the pies a lot, the crusts got burned on one side. Such a shame.

Very fun and informative class, Chef Scott does well to engage with everyone in the class. We also got to go home with leftovers! Fantastic class, can't wait to take more!

Natalie

03 Apr 2024

Our chef was bubbly and fun but I was disappointed that our chicken breast cutlet had been butchered. Instead of receiving 2 full cutlets we had one full and one that had been butchered into 4 pieces of varying sizes. The chef apologized, which I appreciate, but I world expect better quality for the class. It did make it a bit challenging to cook within the time allotted considering that 4 people were using a single burner/pan and we had twice the amount of pieces to brown. The texture of the chicken was also off. It was very chewy, hard to describe, but not palatable. Maybe it didn’t get tenderized enough? I didn’t want to make a big deal in front of the other guests so I didn’t say anything to the chef and The piece that wasn’t butchered had a normal texture. Sauce was delicious and I can’t believe how easy it is to make pasta from scratch! I will be attempting to make at home.

This meal, and experience, far exceeded our expectations. The instructions were clear, humorous, and nobody burnt themselves. I call that a win. If you want a place for a great date night, double date, intimate business meeting, or small team building exercise this is a great idea.

Resident Chef Marion was amazing! Clear, helpful, kind, and easily transferring knowledge for a fun cooking experience. Learned a lot. Thank you!

James

26 Nov 2023

Only giving 4 stars because it is not what I expected when paying this much for the class to share the dish 4 ways. Was under the impression that each couple would have their own dish to share rather than one dish split 4 ways for the price paid. Other than that the experience was really nice, chef and assistants were awesome and food was delicious
