WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Dallas
11/09/2025
This was such a fun class. I loved how interactive it was and Chef Craig always gives the best knowledge on using the cooking skills at home.
10/10/2025
I had such an amazing experience in cooking class! Even though I was the only student that day, Brealynn made it feel like a full class. She has such a wonderful energy and made me feel completely at ease, helping calm my nerves and build my confidence in the kitchen.
We made chicken fried steak, broccolini, and mac & cheese — and everything turned out so delicious! The two hours flew by because it was such a fun, engaging, and encouraging experience.
What really stood out was how generous Brealynn was with her time and knowledge. She shared extra tips, offered her contact information in case I have questions when cooking on my own, and made sure I left feeling successful. Even her colleagues were also so kind and welcoming.
Overall, this class exceeded my expectations in every way. I left inspired and excited to cook again — I’ll absolutely be back for another class soon!

Chef Michael and his crew had a terrific set up for us for the challenges related to making croissants. We had a lot of fun. We are far more confident trying this at home. Worth the money and time- would repeat or provide as a gift to close friends.
