This was a great class, but we paid more than expected for what felt like a standard class. We were looking for a unique experience, and while we thoroughly enjoyed the class and the food, we were a bit disappointed because we had hoped for something different. Chef Angel was great, and the food was delicious.

Here’s your review translated and polished in English: --- We barely cooked anything ourselves – everything was either fully prepared in advance or done for us. Even the items that weren’t included in the original plan were still prepped by the staff. While I understand that the experience was designed for kids, I came with an older child and specifically asked for some adjustments, but was refused. We definitely enjoyed ourselves as a family, laughed a lot, and had fun together. But there’s no doubt that we could – and should – have been more involved in the cooking experience. It’s a shame. We didn’t even get to arrange the spices ourselves. Honestly, putting cheese on pizza shouldn’t cost this much. All in all, we had a nice time as a family, but I was expecting much more from this experience.

We had a wonderful experience learning with Chef Angel this past weekend. He was super funny, charismatic and an awesome teacher. Food tasted better than anything I've cooked on my own as well. Highly recommend booking with him for a fun and educational experience. Thanks Chef Angel!

We ended up having Chef Casey instruct us for the class, and he was great! There was only 3 of us, so it was very intimate and made for a great, relaxing experience. We learned a few tricks to prepare the food we made, and we even got to take home leftovers from our cooking that night. Was very professional, easy-to-follow, and informative; and we made a delicious meal! My husband and I both went and he has been talking about taking more classes ever since we took this class. Highly recommend, and would love to go back for another class!

Class was fun and shorter than anticipated. Wished for an in-depth step by step instructions and felt it was fast paced and not beginner friendly. Received guidance later in the class and was disappointed not being able to make the hazelnut gelato. Neither the classroom video camera nor mirror were used in the instructing. Saw many groups were struggling.

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.
