I had an amazing time as this was my first class. There wasn't a large turnout so it was a more intimate experience, getting quality time with the chef and the other few people in the room. The Osso Buco came out perfectly. I learned some good tips, had a fun time and met some great people. I will definitely be signing up for more classes this week!

Pascale

Jess was a great baker/teacher today. We were only 2 students, which made instruction very personal, we could ask all the questions we had as we went along. I enjoyed this experience so much that I signed up for a the Classic Croissant class in two months. Thank you so much, Jess, for sharing your expertise.

Michelle

We enjoyed our Friday night date night with Chef Pat and his staff! We learned some new techniques and enjoyed preparing our French meal. The menu was spectacular, and we loved that fact that it was so simple yet elegant! It seemed everyone in the class was having just as much fun as we were. We look forward to taking another class soon!

The Resident Chef was professional, personable and an amazing chef. We shared a stove with another couple and had a fantastic time cooking and laughing. The food was delicious; the food I enjoyed the most was the steak and dessert. We will bel back for another class in the near future.

I've never made pasta before. I loved, loved the class & Chef Sam did a great job. It's amazing how much we accomplished in such a short time. When I think about cooking dinner, my mind says it's going to take hours. I will definitely be making this meal very soon.

The chef was wonderful. Her instructions were clear and she went around the room constantly making sure we were doing things right. I enjoyed her as an instructor and chef. Can’t wait to take another class.

We had a great time! Class was informative and fun. 4 stars as I would prefer to have my own materials to mix rather than sharing with another couple at the station.

We had a wonderful morning with Chef Kate learning to make croissants! She was an amazing instructor clearly explaing every step and had a sense of humor when we had mishaps lol! I learned so much about butter, yeast and the entire process. Then we each received 2 savory and 2 chocolate croissants to take home. Highly recommend you jump in and learn about the French art of the croissant!

We had a great time, and super food/instruction.

Tina Prosseda

24 Jan 2024

Enjoyed the class and it was my first class. Renee is a great teacher, her communication with the group and on individual basis was excellent! I've enjoyed the hands on approach and she demonstrated those skills with finesse. The food was good quality and prep tools were good to use. I would have given a 5 star, however, I felt the size of the class was too large although I do understand the purpose of generating revenue from the class but it seemed to slow down the progress. I would have also liked to have completed the process of how to make the dessert from step 1 to finish. Would I attend another one, absolutely!! Is there a way you could design a class that is specific to what we want? For example, how to make pasta starting at scratch to preparing the dough to the end outcome? That is just merely an example.

Chef Rosalind was knowledgeable, professional and very clear with her communication. My wife and i had a great experience.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

It was excellent. It was very hands on, and the class was small. Justin, the chef that was the class instructor, is a fantastic, hands on teacher.

We made ramen, which was good. However, we didn’t know we would be sharing stations other others, so we didn’t really get the full experience of cooking everything ourselves. We stood around more than actually cooking.

Lisa

Couldn't find parking. We weren't warned that would be a problem. Drove around looking for parking until the class was over. I called and told them. They didn't help or respond. Refund requested.

Tracy

Chef was fantastic. Food tasted great. The class was too big ; having 4 people share a cook station was not optimal or expected

Chase

04 Dec 2024

Awful, if your location is the downtown store and not a home of yourself or the chef, it is a terrible experience only for people who have never cooked in their life and only see it as a novel activity. The staff barley pay attention to you, all the stuff is basically pre done for you, and then your put it all in a bowl together. Just cook at home

Chris

23 Sep 2024

I loved our chef! But it was disappointing not to make our own pie crust as this was a big part of why I signed up. Also, I was cooking with two other people, so I did not get to do something start to finish as all tasks were split up between 3 people. For a $99 fee, most classes let you cook your own dishes. This was really disappointing.

Danielle

30 Aug 2024

We were not notified the class was cancelled. In fact we received reminders and hour before to attend. They charged me multiple times and returned. I took vacation time for this class for nothing. Will never use again. Now multiple business days required to refund my money. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Joel

09 Jul 2024

It was fun, but I wish I would have known more about the experience. Bringing wine wasn't an option, but people had it and most of us were confused. Also, spending all that money and having to share a station and the prep with another couple would have been useful prior to booking. I'd do this again, if we had our own station and could cook as one couple.

Emily

10 Mar 2024

The class was definitely fun! It was a little different than I anticipated - for example there were four people to a station so my boyfriend and I shared everything with another couple - this was totally fine but just different! I was a little disappointed that the dough took too long to make so it was already pre-made. The class itself was closer to 2 hours and was not as hands on as I hoped. But still good experience and it was a beginner class so it makes sense!

Maureen

23 Jan 2024

Too many people in class (16). Perhaps could have beginner & advanced classes. Instructions very clear, hands on instruction. Renee was very knowledgeable, personable, & skilled.
