We didn't have Chef Scott, but the chef we had was a lot of fun and very informative. And the donuts and fritters we made are the best we have ever had!

Elisabeth

11 Jun 2025

A fun class overall! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to do a whole lot of cooking though because of the limited outlets the chef made most of the sauces. It was a lot of watching and not a whole lot of doing which was a little disappointing. Also, it wasn’t made clear in the sign up that we would be paired with a random couple. Overall, I think the class expectations need to be laid out more clearly in the sign up.

The class was fun and very well organized. I always thought the art of macaron making was daunting but the chef broke down the process into simple steps and gave a ton of helpful tips. We had a great time while learning a skill we will have for life!

Chef Scott made things fun and simple. All the prep work and measuring had been done before we got their, as if we had our own sous chefs! Class moved along at a good pace, the recipes were easy to follow, and the food was tasty!

I Enjoyed this class so much! It was my first time, and the Teacher/ Chef and her Sous Chef made me feel so welcomed. I learned so much and had no trouble with anything due to the Chefs excellent explanation and teaching skills. I highly recommend this or any upcoming classes. Will definitely be back!

Chef Devin was truly a treat to work with. Did the Fresh Mediterranean Flavors: Falafel to Baklava vegetarian class with him. He gave several options/adjustments that are helpful in our personal cooking experiences. I truly appreciated this insight, feedback, and improvisations. Those little gems of knowledgeable are more valuable than preparing the receipe. I would love to see more vegetarian cooking classes offered, esp involving beans, nutritional acumen, meaning a meal considering protein, mineral consumption, etc.

Arlene

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!

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
