We cooked pad thai, (tofu peanut noodles), shrimp red curry, chicken lettuce wraps and mango icecream. Chef Olivier was so much fun and well informed. We cook a reasonable amount at home but still learnt plenty from him and made delicious meals. We had more than enough to eat. It was a wonderful date night with another couple and will definitely do this again!

The facility was great and so was our instructor. Taking a star off because we thought we would get to make classic croissants but it was only morning buns (cinnamon rolls) and pan au chocolait. It was still a great experience.

We learned to make dumplings and it was so much easier than we expected! Check O was so great and shared many techniques to make us want to try it again at home!

Chicken Pad Thai. Russell was an amazing tutor. Easy simple to follow instructions. Very informative to alternative ingredients.

Individual versus sharing a cooking station would be better. Having a small separate dining area or at least tables and chairs to enjoy our cooked meal would be great. Dessert should not be served/completed until meal is done and consumed. Overall, fun.

The class was awesome. I can't remember the name of the chef that was actually teaching the class, but I'm guessing it was the resident chef. Either way, my wife and I had a great time learning about making pasta from scratch. It was much simpler than we realized and tasted great. We ended up getting the hand crank pasta maker after the class and are super excited to make our own pasta in the future.

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!

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.

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.

Elizabeth Sexton

Yes, was a fun class. Chef was wonderful and great personality and his assistant was nice and accommodating too. Loved the recipes and learning to build & cook them with my friends. Would highly Suggest to have POTHOLDERS available for safety when we are grabbing the HOT Pan handles while cooking- several of us had quite the shock of grabbing a HOT handle with no potholders available.~ especially when it’s connected to a Kitchen Store…? Thanks for teaching me a bit of Chinese cooking ??

No one was there at the address given. No notice of cancellation. Date night ruined

I think the chef was a little unprepared and disorganized. Also, the chef should circulate through the class more to make sure everyone gets some 1 on 1 time with the instructor. Course was kind of expensive for what little it covered.
