WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Naperville

I had a wonderful time with my 2 friends at our Italian cooking class on Friday night, August 1, with Chef Aunt V in Naperville. Our group of seven included two other couples in it that we didn’t know, but we all got along great and had a lot of fun. The kitchen set up worked well and was beautiful, very nice location for this. Chef Veronica is so knowledgeable and I learned so much from her teaching knife skills, hygiene, safety, buying produce, growing organically, as well as the detailed cooking of the three dishes that we made. It makes a huge difference to be at an in-person class instead of taking a zoom class with Cozymeal, which is what I did previously! The food we made was delicious & we got to take some home too. I will definitely take another class with Chef Aunt V in the future.

Amazing experience! Learned the right way to make pork chops and they were the best I’ve ever had. Will be booking another class soon!

Pan seared NY strip with Chianti sauce, gnocchi with walnut pesto, arugula salad with lemon Parmesan dressing and butterscotch budino. Chef Charlie was awesome! Hoping to get the recipes sent to my email soon. Thank you!

This was not with Chef Jesse. I believe the chef's name was Charlie. He was very friendly and informative. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will back for another.

We made a tuscan steak, with homemade, kale-pesto pasta, and an arugula salad with parmesan cheese and balsamic dressing. It was excellent! Our Chef, Will, was very thorough explaining each step, however, it was a lot of steps for the amount of time we had. We enjoyed it; especially my husband who is the cook in the family! My only complaint is that we had to stand to eat the meal, after already standing for 2 hours! After paying the total amount for the class, I thought we would be able to sit and savior the meal we just made; instead of rushing to be done and leave.

We really were looking forward to this event. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. There wasn't much "instruction" (chef did it himself or said mince that without instruction and didnt provide tips on best way to peel garlic as one example), resident chef speech was difficult to understand, did not introduce new tools that could have provided more sales in the store. We had to ask for a food mover, for instance. The empanadas were undercooked and steak not made to our requested doneness. We had to eat standing up and not even a linen napkin but a flimsy cocktail napkin. Did not encourage team camaraderie to make it a more fun experience. Can you call him a chef when he is still in school? Definitely an experienced chef would have been ideal. The food was good and event space was pleasant.

My husband and I recently attended a cooking class led by Chef Justin, and while we appreciated his wide knowledge and the overall enjoyment of the class, we left feeling disappointed for a few reasons. First, we found it frustrating that we had to share our cooking table with other participants. This made it challenging to fully engage in the cooking process. Additionally, we were only given the opportunity to make one pasta dough collectively, which didn’t allow each of us to have our own hands-on experience. We believe that having individual stations would greatly enhance the learning process. Moreover, much of the food, like sauces, was pre-prepared by the chef. While we enjoyed learning about the techniques, we missed out on the practical experience of cooking those items ourselves. It felt more like a demonstration rather than an interactive cooking class. Overall, while we appreciated Chef Justin’s expertise, the format of the class didn’t meet our expectations for a hands-on experience. We hope future classes will offer more opportunities for individual participation and cooking.

Meal overall was good - the other participants were into it, however, our chef could've brought more energy - like she liked her job. We were all fun and ready to enjoy the experience.
