We made Pad Thai. Veggie stir fry and a coconut caramel custard. It was fun using ingredients I have never used before. The food was all delicious and the chef made sure everyone participated.

Pad Thai and shrimp. I learned how to make shrimp tempura, and that I can season rice in oil and herbs before it’s cooked. I would recommend this class to everyone. My suggestions for improvement are directed to non-food things. I would suggest that we at least introduce our names prior to starting and that a stool will be available for everyone to sit on to rest during the class and when it’s time to enjoy the meal.

My partner and I did the surf and turf class, and loved it. We are both decent in the kitchen, but usually just the basics. This class helped us learn tips and tricks that will help us elevate a lot of meals. The staff was very helpful and worked with the group so that we call got to experience a part of the food making process. Will definitely look for future classes!

This was my first time attending one of the cooking sessions, and I must say they did not disappoint. I was more than satisfied. The chef, Gabby, was awesome! She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and kind, which truly made for a great experience. Oh, and the food was delicious! My daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I would highly recommend it.

Chef Aeisha was very knowledgeable in Asian cuisine and the meal we created was delicious. We were promised the recipes to be emailed to us and I have not received them.

Really fun class! Aeisha is super! Only downside was ending felt rushed - no decorating the sugar cookie and we didn't make all the cookies advertised. Overall GREAT experience though. :)

Chef Gabi did a great job teaching the class. It was very thorough. I feel like I could make ramen pasta at home now. I will definitely attend another class.

Chef Aeisha was fantastic and she made cooking so fun for our group (especially my daughter)! I might even bring my son to the next one because even though he doesn’t have much interest in cooking, I feel like Chef Aeisha would even make it fun for him! I can’t say enough about this experience! We’ll be back :)

Fun date night! Our instructor explained and demonstrated everything in a way that was easy to replicate. Our class size was small too, so it felt cozy and more intimate for a date night with my husband.

Our class was led by Chef Marsha, not Chef Ethan like this says. Marsha was a very fun and passionate teacher and gave lots of great tips that I will take back to my own kitchen. It was great to hear from a pro about her essential kitchen tools and WHY they are so important to her. This event was a lot of fun, the food we prepared was extremely tasty, and my wife and I are already thinking about doing another class. Feedback - the address provided was for a strip mall with several stores. Including the name of the store where the class is hosted in the description/invite would be helpful

There was 12 people at the class and it was disorganized. There should of been more direction when making the food. Chef Matt was nice and the food was good. My favorite part was making the pasta.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with this cooking class and had so much fun! Would have been better with a little wine or champagne but it was great. We've already made a few of the dishes!!

This was a fun and wonderful class. The recipes were delicious . Chef Chris was a true professional chef. She gave little inside tips, was very good at explaining the recipes. I would take another class with Chef Chris!

Chef Tanya and Jake, the cooking instructors, were terrific! They not only shared valuable tips for cooking but also for prepping and cleaning the station. I was thrilled with the class and can't wait to sign up for another one. If you're interested, book your spot on a Saturday or Sunday.

Delia

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious. Ready to register for my next class. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Our family of 3 (including a teen son) really enjoyed this class. The recipes were easy to figure out and make, and it's nice to have the book to refer to the 3 things we made, as well as all of the other content. Chef Kelley was very helpful, friendly, and encouraging with our son!

Toni

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry, and enjoying coconut rice afterwards, in a group of 12. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity

We made ravioli with two different fillings - butternut squash with brown butter sage sauce and ricotta/mozzarella with pancetta tomato sauce. Loved the instruction part. I felt the chef really liked taking about herself. Never received the recipes emailed like she promised. Something they don’t tell you, the kitchen doesn’t have a take out license so we were unable to take home any leftovers

Ryan

We got no recipe of dish that we cooked and no chairs to eat we had to stand the whole entire class horrible experience

I drove 1-1/2 hr both ways to share experience with daughter. Chef never showed up and class was cancelled. And no notifications sent. How would you feel?
