WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN NYC

Joseph Q. December, 2023

Booked the class Mexican Fiesta Dinner Night with Chef Paige in Manhattan (Midtown West)

The class was very fun and informative, I learned how to properly chop an onion, how to make raviolis, and how to use pasta making machinery.

Liza Takiya . December, 2023

Booked the class Angie Foxx & Guests - Iron Chef Cooking Competition with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

Our group of 13 were divided in 2 groups and we both created a 3-course meal that we shared amongst all of us. Although we received minimal instructions, the Chef was there to guide us along, if needed. It was fun for all of us.

Justine Alderfer . December, 2023

Booked the class Angie Foxx & Guests - Iron Chef Cooking Competition with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

Had a blast making a meal with my work friends and colleagues. It was like being on Top Chef with Chef Ivan!

Helen Y. December, 2023

Booked the class Signature Thai Delights with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

This is a review for Signature Thai Delights that was done by Chef Steven and his 2 sous chef. I enjoyed the experiences since everyone in the class had their role to prepare for the 3 dishes. No one was left out in this cooking class experience. I was surprised that finished cooking product were served on real dinnerware with forks and knives. I did get to buy something for my friends for their Christmas gifts. However, I could not use the $10 off my next cooking classs since I did not have the list of cooking classes available. I got a chance to find out what Thai cooking tasted and I could add or delete the spicy flavors to my taste.

Giovanni C. September, 2023

Booked the class Pasta and Other Italian Classics with Chef Mariana in Brooklyn (Williamsburg)

What an amazing experience! I decided to do this class with my partner for her birthday and we had such a great time. Chef Mariana is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind. She taught us to make fresh pasta, a classic bolognese sauce, a Carbonaro sauce, an eggplant appetizer, and a tiramisu for dessert. We laughed and discussed food, life and everything in between. Chef Mariana thoughtfully answered all our questions as we went through the process and was very encouraging. Her space and the environment she created was professional, clean, and the view from her windows, overseeing the water pulled the whole experience together. The food was soooo good! She served us and because it was my partner’s birthday, she put a candle in her tiramisu. It is obvious we had a great time? Lol. Honestly, if you’re looking to learn from a pro who makes the process simple and fun, Chef Mariana is it. My partner and I would definitely do this again. We had a beautiful time!
