Cooking Class - Classic French Bistro Favorites - Date Night

This is a great class for beginners. I learned some great basics on how to stand and best ways to cut.

Mushroom and Pork and shrimp dumplings (Won Ton soup, Potstickers, and Steamed dumplings with sauce accompaniment.

Had a lot of fun. Learn the recipe and technique of making croissants.

Fun hands on class!

Great location and class. Chef Michael was awesome. Two types of pasta......with 2 separate sauces. Great event. We would highly recommend for date night.

Made coq au vin, asparagus, cheesy potatoes, chocolate mousse. Learned so much and everything taste delicious!

I really enjoyed the class and definitely will do it again.

Well planned and organized. The chef demonstrated techniques so that we could be hands-on with the cooking. She explained to us the why & how of what we were doing. We had fun & The meal was delicious!

Great class! It was slightly unorganized at the start, but I believe it was because it was the last class right before a major holiday. I learned more in this class than in the other cooking classes in general. Well done!

Class was Great. Food was good

The class was excellent. Both in terms of how clear and easy to follow the instructions were, value for money and how well the recipes turned out. Yes, I know that in this age and times, you have plenty of resources to learn anything, especially cooking, but nothing beats the experience of doing it by yourself, handling the ingredients, mixing up things and creating an Instagram worthy, restaurant quality masterpiece. Chef Shameem (I hope I am not mixing up her name) was excellent with her clear instructions and also kept a watchful eye on everyone to make sure the fine line between a great creation and also-ran is not crossed. Overall experience: Great!

Chef Andrea was an excellent instructor. I especially appreciated that after she would display how to pleat the siu mai and har gow skin, she came around each table to give assistance to those who needed help. Also, qwhen the har gow flour didn't work out, she was prepared for plan B. Her helpers also helped make the class run smooth. The class was fun!!!

Very Awesome & Informative

Fun, informative, and the food out delicious. A few support staff were available in the kitchen, which made things easier.

That class was nice and the food tasted great

So much fun! My besties and I came in as a surprise birthday activity and it did not disappoint! Definitely would do this again. Thank you chef and team ☺️

Class was a bit shorter than listed on, however the demonstrations and lesson was great

Chef Andrea and her team were amazing! We had so much fun! I would suggest a smaller class or bigger tables. We were fortunate to have 2 at our table. The tabels who had 4 people, had 2 cutting boards, and shared ingredients. I would have been disappointed. Over all we had a great experience.

Chef Andrea and Pam were great. Excellent instructions and the end result meal was fantastic.

Great class, would recommend for all ages!

We did not get the recipes. garn777@gmail.com nelsusan@gmail.com The class was good, the food was very good, but we would have preferred learning in a smaller group.

Had a good time, pasta and salad were delicious. Only suggestion will be to have some chairs we we can sit and eat instead of standing and eat.

Class was very fun! Chef was awesome.

Great experience

Enjoyed the class. Took away some new tips on cooking risotto.

We thoroughly enjoyed our class. The instructor made our class so much fun. The macarons were delicious. Looking forward to more classes.

Loved it, but would have preferred smaller class size so that we could work in groups of two.

I enjoyed the class. The chef was really personable, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything clearly. The food was great at the end.

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.

The class was great! The menu was delicious and doable at home. The instructor was spot on. Looking forward to doing the next class!

Class was fun , my teen grandson loved it. We can't wait to do another class together.

Loved the menu and the class taught by Molly! I have already made the entire meal for friends at home!

Terrific class taught by Molly! Can't believe I actually made edible crepes! The whole menu was great!

the instructor was Fantastic!

Fun class!

I had the greatest time at my cooking class! The food was so good and the chef was fun and and taught many helpful hints during the class! I will be taking a cooking class again very soon!

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.

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.

taken many classes, this so far is the best, easy and delicious. chefs are so good and make it fun and easy!!

It was so much fun! Learned several techniques from Chef Miguel and the food was amazing. I believe the small class size helped. I would recommend this class.

Excellent class. Good food, great instruction.

Very helpful and informative, would definitely take other classes. Really enjoyed being able to ask questions along the way.

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.

This class was fun and educational for my daughter and her friend. They both learned some techniques and were given appropriate attention.

Ramen. My friend and I had a fun evening and liked the Ramen recipe, but the class felt very chaotic and stressful. I have been to MANY cooking classes and this one was the most chaotic and unorganized one I’ve attended. I felt sorry for chef Andrea. She was nice. She was flustered, seemed stressed and not familiar with the recipe, didn’t know how to work the instant pot so had to pivot the recipe which I think affected the outcome. Her assistants were not helpful at all. Pam (assistant) was a real “downer”, slow, morose, unhelpful to the chef, wore a dirty looking Fanny pack the entire class and had stray hairs all over her black sweater while around our food. Chef Andrea had to ask her to do everything. She was never proactive. She also never smiled even once (Pam) and seriously brought the whole vibe down. The young male assistant was slightly more helpful but still not friendly or professional. I was actually quite shocked that they wouldn’t have a more professional cooking class. Maybe because I’ve been to so many cooking classes I have a higher expectation, but for the price I expected more. I left feeling tense, but also enjoyed it too….which kind of contradicts, I know. I think it was mostly enjoyable because of who I was with, and we were paired with. That’s what made it enjoyable.

Had it been posted the class was in Palo Alto I never would have signed up for it. I’ve taken many classes there in the past year and it hasn’t been a good experience. I was very disappointed this was not stated up front.

We cooked Ramen in Palo Alto William Sonoma store with Chef Michael. I was a part of Adam's group of 10. The noodles were not edible but the broth and pork were delicious. Due to the rubbery noodles, there was mention of receiving a refund but we have not heard back yet. Thank you.

Not a good cooking class. Venue was tight. Chef was pushy and rushed. We skipped making ice cream

this class wasnt what we expected… to start off, we had a resident chef, but we thought it would be chef andrea. it’s not too hands on as the resident chef would pick out one person to do a task while the rest of the group watched. we thought we would be in small pairs at our own stations actually making the meal. on top of that, the resident chef forgot one guy was cooking the steaks and didnt give him any directions as to when they should be done. so they were burnt and almost well done. overall, very disappointing experience.

A sub chef at last minute. No teaching necessarily but just follow the process. Not good. Kitchen was overcrowded with people without stove. We were paired with strangers and not enough things for people to work on. We didn’t even end up having a piece of ribs for ourselves at all! Very much below expectations.

I would say that the description of the event were not clear. It did not mention that we would be divided into teams and wouldn’t get to do all the steps ourselves to learn better. The experience could have been better. Most of the steps were done by the chef and the rest had to be divided among 4-5 people. I have attended cooking classes before, and we get to do all steps ourselves which helps grasp and learn better. Other than that, chef Andrea was sweet. She answered everyone’s questions and was also open to teaching knife skills to some that were new.

As other reviews have said, it's chaotic with a full class of 16. The instructions were unclear sometimes; it seemed like the chef was doing the recipes for the first time and reading from the printout. We still haven't received the recipes - apparently if you register through Cozymeal, the recipes are either delayed (so far) or never sent (if we don't get them soon). I asked the chef, and she said that if you register through Cozymeal, it takes another day or two, but we still haven't seen 'em.

We were paired up with another couple so really only got to cook less than half a meal. Pretty disappointed for something entitled “romantic” and “date night”. Just be upfront about this in the description.

Honestly this shouldnt be promoted, charging customers a Chef pricing but giving us someone completely different. What's the point of selling your profile if you are not available? The group is also larger than 16 people. Big crowd in a small kitchen. Not recommended at all.
