Isaiah was enthusiastic and passionate. It was fun!

I was disappointed. Billed as date night imagine my surprise to learn it was really double date night. 4 people at a station was not what I signed up for. I got to wisk woopie! I also felt the level of instruction was poor. We were simply given instructions without knowledge of why these ingredients etc. since it was cooking with wine it would have been interesting to know why a merlot was chosen and the type region what characteristics etc. my expectations may have been to high. The description of the class and cozy chef is deceptive. I would recommend this to my friends.

The class lasted only 1.5 hours not 2.5. There were no skills taught. Not even basic knife skills. It was like cooking a meal box that I could get delivered to my home. No, it was worse. Everything was already prepped. the only prep that we did was mince garlic and cut herbs.

I would have hoped they would have been able to roll out dough and measure ingredients to learn more. But my granddaughter had fun and loved the cookies.

We had Chef Brendan for the 7:00 PM class on 8/16. First off, this was a blast. There was a wide gamut of skill sets there, from newbies to people with plenty of experience. The chef did a fantastic job of leading this class, making everyone feel capable, and excited to eat the food! As someone who loves to cook, I learned eggs are denatured by sugar, how to poach eggs, and mustards helps emulsify oil. And this is the first thing I’ve cooked in so long that didn’t have garlic in it: I love garlic but what a cool thing. Plus, my date is a self proclaimed amateur in the kitchen and she genuinely enjoyed this. She’s gonna try one of the things even tomorrow. Hey Chef Brendan, I’m sorry I talked a lot with the person next to me about Reno! You did a great job. I’m looking forward to the next one.

It was not Chef Michael, but she was great! Seemed a tad rushed, maybe due to the large size of the class. She was friendly, and informative, and the food was delicious.

Hi! The chef was nice. She seemed VERY nervous. The dough was premade for the yeast donuts. A bummer. We cooked on kind of a camping burner. Really hard to keep grease at the right temp. Everyone’s donuts were raw inside (tester), then burnt on the outside to get them done. Started with what felt like a 20 min delay (speech) waiting for another group that didn’t show. Finished 30 min late. Felt rushed. Sad. Wanted this to be so yummy and educational.
