WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Tampa
07/04/2025
We signed up for the “The Bear” cooking class for a date night, we’re big fans of the show and figured, why not cook like it? Chef Vivian and Chef Michi were great, super easy to talk to, really down to earth, and made the whole thing feel comfortable. We had some really good conversations with them about their cooking backgrounds, what food means to them, and even got some cool travel tips for their home countries, Peru and Japan. The whole night just felt really warm and inviting just like hanging out with friends who just happen to be amazing chefs.
The class was a four course meal, and honestly everything we made was great, but the two that really stood out were Sydney’s omelette with the potato chips on top and the risotto. That omelette was such a clever idea, and we’ve already said we’re making it again at home. It was quite easy and I may be investing in a new kitchen gadget for the house, a Japanese tamago pan! And the risotto’s something I’ve always avoided because it seemed like such a hassle, but the way they taught it made it feel totally doable, I’m actually excited to try it again. It was far less daunting than I thought. The after dinner, we got to play with Agar Agar to make some cool dessert pearls to top our ice cream with, we felt like a mix of a scientist and chef.
What I appreciated most was how approachable it all was. The food looked and tasted like something from a nice restaurant, but nothing about it felt overcomplicated or intimidating. Nothing was too greasy or overly processed, just nice clean ingredients that made for tasty dishes. I’ve done other classes before where it’s rushed and overly fancy and you walk out thinking, “Well… not doing that again.” This was completely different, they showed us how to make impressive dishes that actually feel possible to recreate at home. And the little tips and tricks they shared really stuck with me, especially the tip about scoring mushrooms (we felt like pros) and not washing the flavor off before cooking.
You get to cook and eat a full four-course meal, learn from two super talented chefs, and walk away with a fun memory you’ll actually want to tell people about.
If you’re looking for a fun, cozy date night or just want to pick up some new cooking skills without feeling overwhelmed, I definitely recommend booking with Chef Vivian and Michi. It was relaxed, memorable, and just a really good time. We’ll definitely be back for another class.

Chef Ricky was so good. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the process of rolling sushi simple and understandable. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary so we could do something different and it was everything was everything that we expected and more.

The “French Bistro “ class was excellent. Chef Sam was knowledgeable and entertaining. The menu was delicious. The kitchen classroom was bright, spacious and well-equipped. We would definitely recommend this hands-on class and intend to sign up for additional classes.
