WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN CHICAGO
Jessie J.
Booked the class Sushi Adventures with Chef Andy in Lower West Side
Chef Coco was out resident chef. Our experience was great! We had so much fun learning about and making the sushi rolls. Chef Coco made the experience so memorable and easy.
Hannah L.
Booked the class Spanish Paella & Tapa Night with Chef Yani in Chicago (Logan Square)
My friend and I really enjoyed learning from Chef Yani! This was a fun and unique activity to do in the city and I highly recommend this class to everyone. The food was delish and Chef Yani was very patient and informative.
Jasmine M.
Booked the class Sushi Rolling for Beginners with Chef Alejandro in Chicago (West Town)
We made a cucumber and avocado maki, a crab salad maki, and a tuna handroll. We learned the procedure to create all of these and how to best handle the kitchenware needed. Chef Alejandro was great at first showing us each of the steps we needed to do, then mentoring us as we tried to replicate each of those steps. My partner and made such delicious rolls, and we are now motivated to apply these new skills at home. Chef Alejandro was great at making us feel welcome and taken cared of at his place, and took fun candid pictures of us as we were making our sushi. I highly recommend him for anyone that wants to learn how to make sushi and build great memories!
Eleni K.
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!

Sheryl W.
Booked the class Crafting Italian Pasta From Scratch with Chef Janet in Evergreen Park
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.
