Cooking Class - Parisian Winter Classics

Cristina was there as a helper, but did not run our class. Chef Joe did and he was great! I gave 3 stars because I felt the communication between Cozymeal and Sur La Table could have been much better. We weren't even aware this was at a Sur La Table until we asked for specific directions to the venue the day before. Additionally, we weren't told we would be paired with strangers (which we didn't mind from a social perspective but was odd that we shared food with others. Thankfully we were paired with people who seemed like they weren't sick and were clean but that might not be the case). Additionally, the Dim Sum recipes weren't that good. We love dim sum normally, but these were either bland or very salty. We also brought wine (as it said it was BYOB), but you can only drink it during the final few minutes while eating (so I wouldn't recommend bringing any since you can't drink while prepping). You should also note that you will be standing the whole time, including while eating.

The staff was friendly and the experience was fun! I can’t wait to take another class!

The Chef, instructions and meal were great. The Chef also had a keen eye for hand hygiene and cross-contamination which made me very comfortable. The food was also delicious. The only reason I did not give five stars is because after preparing a scrumptous meal, we had to stand to eat it. I've taken cooking classes in the past and each time, we were able to sit and enjoy our freshly prepared meal. It would have been great if folding chairs were made available prior to eating so attendees have the option to stand or sit.

Awesome Teacher!! Perfect night out!

Great class with excellent tasting food. My son and I had a wonderful experience and would recommend this class to others. The chef was knowledgeable, approachable, and very nice!

Lovely evening with ten class members creating a delicious meal. The prep was well timed and easy but more participation than some other similar classes we've taken. Excellent equipment and ingredients. Chef was easy going and instructed clearly and kindly and effectively. Fun to shop with a discount.

Chef Christina and the team led an exceptional class—providing take-home insight and the confidence to try making a layered cake on my own. Thank you to everyone for such an awesome experience.

So much fun and informative. Chef Christina was clear, friendly and accommodating. I signed up for 2 more classes!

Great class! You do work in a table of 4, so if there are fewer in your group, you will be paired with others who are touching your food. The chef is very adamant about hand washing and everything felt very sanitary though. We've made homemade pasta before, but have always struggled with filled pastas - whether you had experience or not, this was a fun class where everyone learned something!

Class held King of Prussia mall on Jan 12, 25. The Chef gets a 5 star review. Knowledgeable and pleasant. However, menu was not the one we signed up for. Class was cramped so the hands on learning experience was too limited for my expectation. Eating standing up was a negative. I guess I should have asked but getting a “seat at the Chef’s table” meant something different to me. I would take a class in another setting. Paying $89 to cut an onion and eat standing up is not my idea of a fun/educational event. Too rushed to take pictures…

Fantastic

We liked the atmosphere but the space was too small to work. The steak was overcooked, and the potatoes were undercooked. It was hard to follow the instructions. Then when we were ready to eat we had to stand. It was disappointing for the amount of money we paid.

The class was great! The chef was very knowledgeable, a true expert, and gave us many tips on making macarons. The ones we made were delicious!

This class was so luck fun, highly recommend and would do it again!

The resident chef was amazing! I already signed up for another class. Warning: you make dishes in groups so you can only take a bit of what you made at the end.

Chef Joe was exceptional. He was a great instructor and we had a lot of fun and learned helpful tips. The food was absolutely delicious. I would have hoped for more steak though. We had one piece of flank for 4 people and it really wasn't enough to feed us all.

You work in groups. No heads up on that. Not comfortable having other people touch my food. They had way too many people — we were crammed in so that was a negative. Outside of a salad, we didn’t cook anything end to end. Drink was premade, dough was premade, entree and side were finished in the oven by chef helpers. Cute concept but not worth $100 per person. Stools would have been nice as not a fan of eating standing up

Me and my husband really enjoyed this cooking class. This was our first time. The chef was absolutely amazing! He made everything fun and easy. The food was great!! Can’t wait to book again

It was a good experience, but for the price I wasn’t expecting to have to share with another couple. The space was a little crammed.

Had a great time with the resident chef and other people in the class, was slightly disappointed on what we were actually making. Was expecting to learn how to actually make the pasta dough due to the class pictures and how it was presented and was expecting on making the desert as well (which is mainly why i wanted to take the class) What was also important to note is that the groups worked in teams and not a meal per couple which meant less food for each couple and was less intimate and felt like more of a double date night. Overall the food was great and the class was fun, but a little too overpriced or what’s actually presented.

Great class and a lot of fun !

It was very crammed. My partner and I were on a “team” with another couple and had to share a station. It was not stated that we would not get our own supplies and ingredients. Instead, we had to share the tasks of cooking with two other people meaning we did not get to learn some of the skills being taught. I feel that for about $200 it was not worth it because we did not get to do all of the cooking together. I think it should’ve been mentioned that the other people we were working with would be splitting the tasks. Also, we did not get to make the dessert as it was premade for us. That was not mentioned before hand either.

Great class. The resident chef gave us lots of good tips for baking.

The class was excellent!!

Chef Brian was great! He was very informative and a natural teacher.

Really enjoyed the class...learned a few things we could apply to our breadmaking efforts, plus learned how to make focaccia, one of our favorite accompaniments to dinner. A fun class, well-run.

My partner and I attended the Rustic Bread class and was very excited to attend and learn from a passionate Chef! Was very disappointed early on to find the class seemed very much overbooked, which did not allow for a personal feel. Second, for the price, each individual should have been able to bake their own bread to take home but instead it was closer to 1 small French loaf and focaccia split between the groups and lastly the class was taught by a resident chef; Chef Christina in no way taught or influenced this class and her stand in was understandably nervous but her delivery was monotonous. Unfortunately, I would never recommend this class to anyone I know. I could have watched a YouTube video on bread making and it would have been more informative and exciting. I feel like the description was disingenuous, and the price was at least double what it should be. I think the concept is fun but there was no attention to detail, and overall the workers acted as if it was a chore that they were there. Disappointed, but hopefully this review is read so future goers can have a better experience.

Great class, Excellent Chef. Enjoyed every minute.

Absolutely delicious food! Really enjoyed the group and the chef leading the class.

The French croissants class was excellent. Chef Eric was very helpful and the experience was great. Be prepared for an engaging hands-on class We learned a lot and had fun. The final products (sweet and savory croissants) were delicious.

Amazing class. Chef and her assistant were wonderful! Highly recommend.

Great class. I learned a lot and class was very hands on.

This was the first cooking class I have ever taken! It was very informative and I enjoyed the class . I will be taking more classes in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our class. The instructor made our class so much fun. The macarons were delicious. Looking forward to more classes.

This class was great! Very informative and lots of fun, the instructors were very helpful (and the food was delicious!). I highly recommend this class and look forward to taking another class soon.

The Instructor was "world class" with supportive instructions and humorous analogies. Considering taking the class for a second time.

Loved the class! Chef did a great job teaching us these recipes. I can not wait to take more classes.

Excellent class. Chef Michael made it fun and informative.

The class was really fun and informative. My girlfriend and enjoyed it as a birthday gift. We will definitely attend more classes in the future.

Absolutely loved the class. I'm an experienced baker and have wanted to make macarons. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed the class so much, I'm considering taking the class again as it was so much fun!!!

Fabulous class, food was fantastic and met some great people! This was my second class, I'm signed up for several others!!

Super enjoyable class! Instructor moved at a good pace and food ended up tasting delicious! Will be back for another class for sure!

I walked out with technique and confidence. I enjoyed the setup of the class and the instructor very much. Would take another class!

Great class! So delish!

Loved the class. I was able to make the croissants at home with ease. My family loved them. Looking forward to my next class.

Excellent instructor. Great hands-on experience. I was able to go home and replicate the recipes.

Our instructor was super hands on - taught us some great techniques! Food turned out amazing. We were all impressed!
