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.

Karen

12 Apr 2024

I didn’t have a good experience compared to the other cooking classes I did coz first it’s not chef Ethan and the chef already made the Thai sauce and coconut lime sorbet plus at the end we’re not able to bring our left over home for some liability issues they said plus we didn’t have a recipe printed out she said she will email it but didn’t receive it so overall I can only give 2 stars

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

13 Dec 2023

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!
