Cooking Class - Build French Cooking Confidence - Date Night

Zackary was amazing. Had lots of fun and was well worth over an 1hr drive to Austin to go. Looking forward to attending many more classes with Zachary

Would recommend to everyone! Learned a ton. Thank goodness there was a chair available, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to stay. Need to warn folks you have to stand the whole class.

Desserts

Chef Zach was amazing! We did homemade pasta 2 ways: as an amazing ravioli, and also a pappardelle in bolognese. So much fun!

The pad thai was delicious and so easy to cook. Tita was a fabulous instructor and made the class so much fun.

I took my mom to this for her birthday and it was so much fun! everyone was so kind and helpful and it was such a good time!

Did the Valentine cookie class. I expected it to be held on Congress, didn’t plan to drive to the Domaine. Should have been notified about new location sooner than the day before class.

We had a great experience with Chef Tata. Great date night and the meal was delicious.

What a fun morning thank you so much Andrea, the croissants are delicious!

Had a great time and got a great result. Our macarons turned out excellent! Thank you

Andrea did an excellent job and I would highly recommend this class!

We really enjoyed this class! Easy and elegant, we will love making these recipes and wowing our guests! The direction was straightforward, and the kitchen was beautiful!

We had a great time at the cooking class! It was a ton of fun and everyone at the Domain was super nice. We met several nice people in the class. Thank you so much, it exceeded my expectations and was a great experience

Chef Zach was delightful! The food was delicious. I’ll be back soon.

Wonderful class, Chef Zachary as part of the company this was hosted at, was an amazing teacher and helped us greatly in learning more! Amazing food and environment!

He was great

My friend and I had a great time learning how to make delicious French cuisine! We ended up collaborating with another couple, which actually added to the fun. The chef also sends you a copy of the recipe afterward—perfect for continuing to practice and build on the new skills I learned!

Lee was excellent. I will try to take another class with her. I just wish that we could have had a handout with the recipes. I wanted to take notes and I am more visual than auditory.

The class was fun and Lee was a great teacher. I left feeling like I could make these breads at home! Two things caused me to rate this 4 stars instead of 5: Today is 3 days after the class and I still haven't received recipes from the things we made. I actually would've come home and tried to make the breads on my own that afternoon. The second thing was, our family attended as a group of 5 which was a lot to try to give everyone a chance to be involved. The class assistant was working next to us making the breads on her own. It would've been great if she had pulled a couple of us over to work with her.

Serena was organized, patient and kind! Great recipes and techniques! Thanks!

The class was good, except I didn’t receive the cooking instructions or the 15% store discount since I registered via Cozymeal.

Fantastic class - I learned a ton about working with laminated doughs. I've tried a couple times in the past, and always had a sticky, tacky mess on my hands. This class taught me tricks and tips, how to work the dough more effectively, what to watch out for. I just pulled a batch of croissants out of the oven, and they are everything I could have ever hoped for, and more. I need to keep a laminated dough on hand at all times now! :D Loved the class, great teacher, very helpful and informative - can't wait to take more classes!

We had a fun experience and the food was delicious!

Great class!

Great class and great teacher

My daughter had a great time at the cooking class!

The class was amazing! Chef Maggie was so fun to learn from. My husband and I had a great time.

The class was perfect! The instructor was excellent, we had hands on learning, and the experience was wonderful. Signing up through cozymeal was iffy because the location wasn't posted until after I signed up and the instructor was different than advertised, but it was still a great class

It was a great class!

Had a great time learning how to make croissants. Maggie is a great teacher! And the croissants and morning buns were delicious!

This was a really fun experience. My best friend and I attended the shrimp scampi with homemade spaghetti class. It was our first cooking class ever. We learned a lot of good information and recipes that can be replicated at home. The food was delicious. FRESH pasta for the win!

Great class!

Chef Nick was skilled, informative, and really boosted my confidence in the kitchen!

Our chef was a lot of fun, very knowledgeable and helpful! I would recommend her to anyone and I would love to take one of her cooking classes again

Lots of fun learning how to bake croissants. Intros very knowledgeable and helpful.

We did the pasta making class with Chef Nick! He was extremely knowledgeable, demonstrated everything clearly and helped us make the best food. It was such a fun class. We got to make two pastas and 3 sauces. It was such a great date night. Highly highly recommend. Novice to experienced cooks would enjoy this!

Our team had a wonderful experience. The food selection, level of difficulty and straightforward instructions were exactly what we needed. We appreciated the space to learn and grow together as a team and Chef Nick's teaching method and personality were the icing on the cake.... and also the olive oil ice cream... which was amazing.

Great class, Excellent Chef. Enjoyed every minute.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I took the croissant class, and would say that it is a good social/group activity, but not the best venue for learning how to make croissants at home. The positives were that the chefs were pretty personable and the class was enjoyable and an appropriate duration, I just wish the structure were slightly different. I would say that my overall experience was mixed. I was somewhat annoyed at several things in the class. One is that the clock was fast, so the class started before 9am on phones. In addition to that, the chefs were very quick to jump in and do things for us rather than letting us figure it out in pursuit of learning. I would also say that it is silly that the chef didn't have their own batch going for demonstration, and rather used one of the class groups' items to display what to do. Finally, something that you can't really address at the class price point is that I didn't like being in a group with 3 other people while trying to learn an individual pursuit as two of them were somewhat clumsy in the kitchen, and the third had an inflated sense of their own abilities and kept messing up the group's items. Pairs would be fine, but 4 is too much.

The French Pastries for Fall should have been a great time to learn about making laminated dough and making palmiers and kouign-amann. It seemed as if Chef Jocelyn had never made these pastries before and hadn’t bothered to practice ahead of time. Correctly pronouncing the pastries being made in class could have been accomplished with a quick internet search and the directions given to fold the dough for palmiers was completely incorrect even though she was reading from the printed instructions that were correct. We were told to cut the dough into strips and then form a heart shape, not at all like the printed instructions or any online search. Making laminated dough was saved to the last of the class and better time management would have made this less rushed and more complete. The reason for taking the class was for technique, however the instructor fell short on preparation and knowledge.

Steak was pretty tough. Should have been tenderized before marinating to break down the muscle fibers. Papusas were pretty tasty. Salsa came out more like a paste than a blended salsa and had zero heat to it. Chimichuri should have been made by hand cutting the ingredients and mixing them instead of food processing them, it broke the sauce and just became a herby liquid. If you are expecting authentic Mexican chimichuri, you’ll be surprised. Just need to rework the recipes maybe and tenderize the meat before marinating for future classes.

Chef Lee was great and I learned a lot. But two days later I still don’t have the recipes. It would have been helpful to have them at the class so we could take notes.

I was a bit disappointed that Chef Nick was not the chef instructing this class. I didn’t realize the class said “or Resident Chef”, so that is just something to be aware of. Overall, class went smoothly. Making pasta from scratch was fun and the pasta dish turned out well. The salad and the dessert, however, were underwhelming and I would not make them again. I felt like explanations were lacking during the class. It was quite loud and difficult to hear the instructor, so I dont feel like I learned much. I also have not received a copy of the recipes. Last time I took a class I received the recipes the same evening of the class.

Hi team, our class was enjoyable, but we did not get what we paid for. We did not make the dessert portion of the class and were let out 30 minutes early.
