WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Jacksonville
10/01/2026
Simply stated - a perfect evening! We are a friend group of six who signed up for the “Perfecting Paella” class with Chefs John and Aaron and they brought their ‘A’ game, in my opinion. What I loved was how accessible they made this cooking feel - no shaming in the process, just meeting us where we were (I might bake a little but I really don’t cook. Others in our group were more comfortable stepping up there and that was all good.). I truly appreciated the many tips shared (safety, prep, signs of readiness, etc.) in the cooking process as well as the sharing of personal experiences by the chefs relevant to the meal we were being coached through as well as a bit about themselves. Despite there being about 12 in the class total, I felt the chefs really took care to be sure we were seeing what they wanted us to see and checking with each of us to be sure we were picking up what they were laying down. By the end, we were all enjoying a delicious salad, perfect paella and custard tarts! This class is worth your time and money from start to finish.

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.
