Chef Ruth is very personable and we had a great afternoon cooking with her. The food was delicious. While we appreciated her doing most of the work, we would have been open to learning more about the finer points of Thai cooking.

Chef Ruth has work experience in various prestigious restaurants and she can teach you a variety of cuisines. She works very efficiently and can maximize time of teaching cooking techniques.

I really like Chef Ruth, but she didn't have some key ingredients for her dishes and had to use our food. The food was good, not great, and not very authentic. Also, I thought this was going to be more of a cooking "class" type of experience, where we would all be cooking along, and we really just watched her cook.

I had high expectations for the experience and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. This was not a class, it was just having someone cook for you. I expected to have it organized in groups of us prepping, etc... There were no recipes during the class, the chef forgot ingredients; grits, salt, cheese, butter and oils. She asked to use what we had on hand and left her knives at a previous event. The chef would mention things she was putting in, but not really demonstrating technique. The flavor was ok, but thought the gumbo lacked spice. In addition, for the price, the quality should have been better. She used Johnsonville packaged sausage, low quality chicken, value whip cream. I would have thought it would be organic and high quality ingredients. Overall I was not impressed and would not recommend this for anyone looking for a class.

The food we had with Chef Ruth was good. However, she could make her class more hands on and informative. We wanted to get our hands dirty and learn everything we could about Thai food. It didn’t seem like she had much experience with making autentic Thai food. Overall, the food and instructing were good but it was not the experience we were expecting.
