We attended an Italian dinner cooking class where we made fresh mozzarella, homemade pasta, and tiramisu—and they also served a delicious chicken marsala. I went with my wife and our two daughters, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for all of us. Chef Paige made the class both fun and informative. She explained techniques clearly, kept things engaging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable participating, regardless of skill level. We walked away having learned some great cooking tips that we’re excited to try again at home. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was especially rewarding to enjoy a full meal that we helped create ourselves. It was a perfect mix of learning, hands-on activity, and family time. I would highly recommend this class to anyone considering a cooking experience in NYC—it’s a memorable, enjoyable, and worthwhile activity for couples, families, or even a group of friends. -Jim H.

I genuinely had a great time during this class. We started off with the cubed tuna and a side salad, then later cooked steak and ended off with a crepe. It was super fun and informative. I want to give a special thanks to Ashley for making me feel super comfortable her attention and energy made the experience so much better and I highly recommend that whoever is looking to take a class, that they definitely book it.

We were there the night of red velvet cake parfaits marry me chicken burrata and fresh pasta. It was a phenomenal class. Friday the 16th. I’m sorry for not remembering our chefs names (I may have had a few too many cocktails pre class) but he was a great instructor just hands on enough for us to learn while also giving us space to try new things. He was personable and funny and made the night really enjoyable. The 4 of us will absolutely be back for more classes.

My partner and I attended a cooking class for our anniversary and were a bit nervous as to what to expect. But Chef Paige is the perfect person for this activity. She is full of enthusiasm for cooking, is super knowledgeable, and is so much fun to be around that all of the nerves quickly disappeared. I could not imagine a better first-time cooking experience. For anyone deciding between cooking classes, especially if it's your first class, I highly recommend Chef Paige.

Had such a great time at this cooking class! The food was delish and the chefs were so nice. They were very encouraging and knowledge for those who wanted to learn as well as fun and hands on for the people who were there for the food! Can’t wait to do another class

This was a very nice class and the food was delicious! Our Chef was so welcoming and informative. I wish, however, that we had been able to make the red sauce or the pesto sauce and the chicken, even if the full menu was smaller. Thanks for a fun time!

We took the Italian dinner w/ Tiramisu class last Thursday and had an absolute ball with Chef Paige and Mark! Paige's high energy, super fun personality combined with her excellent instructions and skills was awesome! Mark's kind and friendly persona mixed with his almost invisible, super efficient classroom management was priceless. I'll be back! We loved it!

Chef Danny was a great teacher. He made the experience interesting and fun, taking us step-by-step through each course. He taught the most basic fundamentals of cooking such as why kosher salt is best to use for cooking as well as which oils are best to use for sauteing. It was a unique and wonderful class and we would definitely do it again.

Chef Danny did a fantastic job. He made us feel comfortable and made the class exciting, engaging, and fun. We learned many cool tricks, and all the messy parts were handled in advance, so we didn't have to worry about the smell of onions. Chef Danny gave attention to each of us, including the birthday girl. It was a fantastic experience and a great idea for a birthday gift or date night. Highly recommend!

Chef Tianna Ottley was excellent! Class size was too big for available workspace/equipment. Recipes should have been printed out and given to all participants at the class.

I was disappointed with this dumpling class. The session felt poorly organized, and the class size was too large to allow for a meaningful hands-on learning experience. We didn’t get to make the items that were originally listed on the menu. Instead, we were asked to prepare additional off-menu items that we weren’t particularly interested in, which was frustrating. Additionally, there was a lack of sensitivity toward dietary restrictions, which made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, it wasn’t the quality learning experience I was hoping for, and I wouldn’t recommend this class.
