WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Detroit
Chef Nedra arrived on time. We learned how to make vegan crab cakes out of hearts of palm and a remoulade. They were good served over lettuce greens. She also made us portabella mushroom steaks, asparagus, and mashed potatoes with strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Everything was plant based and good.
Chef was amazing! Food was amazing! Overall experience 10/10
Couldn't recommend Chef Sachet any higher! We had an incredible time and loved our sushi. Well exceeded any expectations we had.
Class FAR exceeded our expectations! Chef Dos was phenomenal and knowledgeable. Came prepared with EVERYTHING needed for the class. Taught us how to repurpose the dough and make 4 or 5 different recipes that will go into heavy rotation in our home. This class was worth every penny and will hopefully book more! Thanks Chef Dos!
