WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Newport Beach
We enjoyed the environment and making some sweet pies. Staff was amazing.
We made homemade pies and it was delicious. The chef and her assistant were amazing and very helpful. The food was also yummy.
Chef Charlie was awesome! We cooked chicken with kale salad, green beans and aioli with lemon tart
This was a great class, but we paid more than expected for what felt like a standard class. We were looking for a unique experience, and while we thoroughly enjoyed the class and the food, we were a bit disappointed because we had hoped for something different. Chef Angel was great, and the food was delicious.
