WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in the Bay Area
Ted P.
01/21/2025
We signed up for this class for my daughter's birthday party and Chef Parsati handled the group of 10 girls with expertise. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks again!
Loritta L.
02/15/2023
We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience. The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that you’re booking the class in… And… There needs to be more communication before they take your money. This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun experience.

Totally great class. I'm actually not sure how it could have been better! Mike was really helpful, conveyed a ton of useful information in a super clear way, and gave us all lots of practice. Thanks Mike!
