WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Jacksonville
This was absolutely an amazing experience and memorable date night for me and my husband. The Chef was great and fresh ingredients food was an explosion of flavor.
Can't wait to try another class.
The facility was great and so was our instructor. Taking a star off because we thought we would get to make classic croissants but it was only morning buns (cinnamon rolls) and pan au chocolait. It was still a great experience.
Enjoyed the class
We cooked pad thai, (tofu peanut noodles), shrimp red curry, chicken lettuce wraps and mango icecream. Chef Olivier was so much fun and well informed. We cook a reasonable amount at home but still learnt plenty from him and made delicious meals. We had more than enough to eat. It was a wonderful date night with another couple and will definitely do this again!
