WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Los Angeles

Chef Mert was extremely fun! Not only was he super hands on with each cooking step but he also made sure to answer questions along the way no matter how off topic they were. He taught us some tips and tricks we will be using moving forward while cooking at home. The pasta was so fresh and easy to make with simple ingredients which was the biggest win.

Chef Luana was great from start to end. I surprised my wife with a fettuccine and spaghetti making class and the experience overall was super great. The class was comprised of 3 couples and it was such an intimate vibe compared to bigger classes. Will be recommending to all my friends and will be coming back soon.

Great experience with Chef Francesca. She was a great chef and a lovely host. Such a kind person, and such great food! One note, this class is not as hands on as others I have had in the past. Chef duties are shared, you are not making your own dish from start to finish. Not a bad thing, just important to know if you prefer one type of class over another. Also, the chef chooses your sauces beforehand, so if you’re dead set against any of the sauces, let her know and she can accommodate. Would recommend!
