Booked the class Crafting Italian Pasta From Scratch with Chef Janet in Chicago (North Center)

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Chef Janet! We made bruschetta, a tagliatelle dish, and tiramisu and all of them were delicious! Chef Janet did such a great job catering to the different skill levels of our group members and jumping in when we needed help. My group had such a fun time learning something new and creating a new memory! Not only was she super helpful with teaching us how to cook, but she also came prepared with all of the materials and appliances! She also made sure everything was cleaned up before she left. I will definitely be using Chef Janet in the future!

The girls made bruschetta, gnocchi & tiramisu. We booked Chef Janet for my daughter’s 16th birthday party. Chef Janet worked really well with the girls and they enjoyed learning from her. My daughter loved the whole evening making her favorite meal with her closest friends, she didn’t have one favorite moment.

My sister and I had such a wonderful time in Janet’s cooking class! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and approachable. We learned how to make a delicious bruschetta with olive tapenade, a perfectly cooked chicken marsala, and a silky panna cotta that was the perfect finish. Janet’s guidance made even the more intimidating steps feel easy, and we walked away with new skills—and full stomachs! Highly recommend her class to anyone looking for a hands-on and memorable culinary experience.

Alex was awesome! We did a couples class and learned how to make cacio e pepe. It was one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had! The recipe was super easy to follow, and he showed us many tips and tricks along the way. Alex was super easy to get along with and talk to, and he made the whole experience enjoyable. He really exceeded expectations, would highly recommend!

Wonderful experience all around! The food was amazing, Regina was a wonderful host and chef, and the evening was filled with great energy and a warm ambiance. We will definitely use these recipes at home.

Booked the class New Orleans Fare Made Vegan with Chef Regina

A group of four of us attended Chef Regina's cooking class and I must say we were all extremely pleased! Only one from the group was vegan but we all were pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. She was very thorough in explaining the cooking process, choosing ingredients and even possible substitutions. Her class is a must for any vegans out there or for anyone wanting to try something new! I highly recommend Chef Regina. 5 stars!

We took the New Orleans style vegan class with Chef Regina, who graciously welcomed us into her home. She went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The food was amazing and we can't wait to try the recipes on our own. We would 100% recommend taking a class with Chef Regina!

Chef Regina’s class exceeded all of my expectations. It was fun, engaging, and she made everything very easy to follow. Most surprising for me - I want to make every single thing we made instead of just one or two things! Absolutely delicious and she made the night a real pleasure! I highly recommend!

Booked the class Vegetarian Masterclass with Chef Titik in Chicago (New City)

My sister took me to this class for my birthday and I loved it! She cooks more than I do but everything we tried and made was delicious. I was very hungry when I came and was glad I could sample and try the vegetables as we were cooking. We had tomato soup abut halfway through the class. I really enjoyed the crostinis I had with them. We put lots of Parmesan cheese on top. I love cheese and eat a lot of it, this really made the soup taste good. I really like portobello mushrooms and was glad when they were in the main dish. We cooked those in the oven and got rid of the water. I had tried to make a mushroom en croute before and now I know that mushrooms release water when cooking which is why mine was not the best! We used caramelized onions and sautéed spinach two of my favorites. We used an egg to bind the pastry dough together. The potato au gratin and the demi-glaze sauce together was the best decision I made when eating my dinner after we cooked everything. The table was set beautifully when my sister and I came in. We brought the food to the table and enjoyed all our hard work. 10/10 would take this class again!

Booked the class Vegetarian Masterclass with Chef Titik in Chicago (New City)

If you want to take this class please do!! You will not be disappointed! We made a wonderful tomato bisque soup, delicious potato au gratin and the fabulous main course was mushroom en croute. The desert really made the experience which was the poached pear in wine with spices. Everything was perfect. Chef Titik knowledge of different cuisines is amazing and seen in how she was cooking the whole time. We chopped, sautéed, minced, julienned and used all four burners on the stove at once! Very impressive! When sautéing and caramelizing the onions for the mushroom en croute we used balsamic vignette but also sampled Indonesian sweet soy sauce! Such a cool experience of flavors! I am not a vegetarian myself but still loved the class! We started by making the desert because of the length of time it was cooking. We sampled the wine the pears were poached in and it was delicious! This is great for the summer, you can use the wine for sangria as well! We had the soup half way through cooking the meal and it was to die for! My brother and myself both took seconds! The potato au gratin was so fun to make! You learn how to make a béchamel sauce from scratch and how to parboil things! A skill both of us will have with us forever. I really enjoyed making the demi-glazed sauce, this was a new experience for me and I didn't realize how many vegetables were involved. Overall a great experience! Took my brother for his birthday and absolutely loved it!

Janet was incredible! We loved our private class and highly recommend. We made gnocchi, bruschetta, and tiramisu all under her guidance and instruction. Janet is super personable and easy to get along with, and has a great sense of humor in addition to her impressive background! We highly recommend taking a class with her and will likely do so again in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience Janet!

What an incredible experience! Alex was awesome! I would highly recommend taking one of his classes. He was on time, knowledgeable, personable, and helped us cook an incredible meal. Alex also did a great job interacting with our 5 year old son, who was very excited to help as the “sous chef”. Couldn’t be more happy about our experience and we will 100% be booking him again. Thanks again Chef Alex!

Christopher C.

Booked the class Advanced Pasta Making with Chef Alex in Chicago (Near South Side)

We had a great experience with Alex and his pasta making class! He brought all of the key equipment and ingredients and had also prepped many of the ingredients (diced squash, onions, homemade filling, etc.) so cooking was a very smooth process! Chef Alex took the lead on much of the cooking but we were able to jump in in a few key spots that made sense and still learned a lot. He was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed hearing about both his experience in the culinary industry and general cooking tips with these dishes/ingredients. Best of all, the soup and pasta were really very delicious and we would love to make them again on our own!

Halima N.

Booked the class New Orleans Fare Made Vegan with Chef Regina in Chicago (Near North)

This was a fantastic class! Chef Regina is an incredible instructor, and her recipes are exceptional. The "New Orleans Fare Made Vegan" class included crabless cakes that were better than many crab cakes I've eaten, better jambalaya than I got in New Orleans for my honeymoon last month, and the best bread pudding I've ever eaten. (I have never liked bread pudding - until now!) I was thrilled with this class and will definitely seek out additional classes!

Mollie G.

Booked the class Traditional Italian Pasta Making with Chef Alex in Chicago

This experience was fantastic! Alex is an awesome Chef and Teacher and I would highly recommend his class to anyone interested! He brought everything we needed which made the whole process seamless. He is well informed about the techniques and the tips on when we try and make the same dishes on our own. The dishes were delicious and all in all we had a wonderful time! Will definitely be reaching back out to Alex in the future!

Tonika J.

Chef Regina is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I literally just finished eating the last of my leftovers now. Also, she is such a great educator! I can easily incorporate the valuable techniques she taught us into my daily cooking! I’m so happy I took her class and met her:-)

Zoe C.

Booked the class Traditional Italian Pasta Making with Chef Alex in Chicago (Logan Square)

Can’t recommend this enough! Chef Alex was great and taught us so much, and the meal was delicious! The pasta making and dessert were more hands on, and Alex did most of the salad and pasta sauce (but taught us lots of good tips along the way). Alex was very knowledgeable, a good conversationalist, brought all of his own supplies, and left our place spotless. Can’t wait to take another one of his classes!

Eva M.

Booked the class Traditional Italian Pasta Making with Chef Alex in Chicago (Streeterville)

Thank you for walking us through pasta making, we had a lot of fun and learned a lot. In retrospect, I think we both would have wanted the experience to be more hands on (you directing us and us doing most of the tasks), but there is always a balance to how much we can do without messing up the dish. Overall, the food was delicious, and we felt great about eating something that we got to make ourselves.
