Aneeha D.

Booked the class Flatbreads From Around the World with Chef Sawsan in Somerville (Spring Hill)

Amazing class!! I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to make different flatbreads to incorporate into their lives! Chef Sawsan gave so many great tips about baking! Chef was so thorough and this class allowed for all types of hands on opportunities. Also, got to see all the behind the scenes of the kitchen and how chef's bake on a mass scale! The food tasted amazing, with the best part that it was all vegan! I really loved this experience!!

Julia P.

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)

We had so much fun taking Chef Lisaâ€™s macaron class! We found parking easily, weâ€™re greeted and attended to right away, and went over our experience and questions before jumping in to cooking. Once started, all the ingredients were ready to go and she helped us with step by step instructions while providing her own tips along the way! She made the time together enjoyable with her witty sense of humor and had us splitting out tasks to get everything accomplished in the time we had together. We left with a ton of delicious cookies and were surprised WE made them ourselves! Had a blast and would recommend!

Booked the class Vegan Spanish Techniques with Chef Lillo in Watertown

Our experience with Chef Lillo was INCREDIBLE. He is wonderfully personable, very talented, and a fantastic teacher. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was so much fun to be in the kitchen with the chef, seeing how the (vegan) sausage gets made. The chef is also very knowledgable about the vegan scene in the area and was happy to provide us with all sorts of recommendations. Our night was A++, and I would recommend this experience to anyone (vegan or not)!

Shal was a fantastic host and teacher! My girlfriend and I were the only two in the class, so she made sure to ask beforehand if we had any preferences in terms of personalizing the menu. Shal provided homemade snacks during waiting periods along with great conversation. She even made us an extra dessert beyond the three that were planned! Would definitely recommend.

Chris D.

Booked the class Mix and Match Fish Tacos with Chef Lisa

A review from Jenna and Chris. Five stars is not enough for Chef Lisa. Iâ€™m not sure what I was expecting because Iâ€™ve never done anything like cozy meal before.. but Lisa went above and beyond any expectation I had. After she walked through our door she asked my boyfriend and I what we wanted from the experienceâ€”whether it was to learn, just enjoy her cooking for us, etc. Chris and I wanted to learn and be involved so we could replicate it in the future and just understand what was going on (like how to use a knife, how to make sure the sauce was balanced, what our taste buds were tasting, etc.). Lisa was one of the best teachers Iâ€™ve had. She made sure we were not only hands on, but explained everything step by step of what to do, what to expect if we are replicating it in the future and the science behind the food. She was extremely personable, professional, enthusiastic, funny, and kind. She was also very accommodating as I asked to change a few things on the menu. I strongly recommend having her cook for you and/or teach you how to cook. It was such a great experience. By the end of the night everything was put away, cleaned up, and we made a new friend. Oh, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!

Booked the class Breakfast Croissants with Chef Patrick in Natick

The chef Patrick was not the chef. The entire thing was very disorganized and unprofessional.There was not enough dough for everyone and the teacher did not know what she was doing. The croissants did not come out at all like croissants! False advertising!

Booked the class Next Level Desserts with Chef Shailini in Lexington

We had a fantastic time at our desserts class with Chef Shailini! We were fortunate to have a small, intimate group. That combined with Chef Shailini's hospitality, warmth, and expertise made for a wonderful and relaxing evening. We learned a lot, baked incredible food (mini-cheesecakes, flourless chocolate cake, and apple tart), and left feeling delightfully full and recharged.

Daniel R.

Booked the class Flatbreads From Around the World with Chef Sawsan in Somerville (Spring Hill)

It was SOOOOO amazing! Immediately, Chef Lisa makes you feel so comfortable and confident, even if you don't have much baking experience.

I went with my boyfriend, and we both agreed that it was one of the most fun dates we have ever been on. Take this class for sure!!!

Booked the class Flatbreads From Around the World with Chef Sawsan in Somerville (Spring Hill)

This was so fun! Chef Sawsan is amazing. She loved talking about the chemistry behind bread baking and got us excited to hear how it works. Perfect gift for an aniversary.

Charles G.

Booked the class Classic French Tea Pastries with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)

My wife and I recently attended the "Gluten-Free French Pastries" class with Chef Lisa, and it was a truly exceptional experience! I cannot recommend this classâ€”and Chef Lisaâ€”highly enough. Chef Lisa is an incredible instructor who is both patient and extremely knowledgeable. She is very personable and created a welcoming environment for the class. What sets her apart is how she shares her past experiences as a pastry chef, weaving in the fascinating history and the actual science behind the pastries we were making. It made the process so much more engaging than just following a recipe. As for the pastries themselves, every single one we made was exceptional. If you are looking for a top-tier baking class, look no further. I would gladly take any other class Chef Lisa teaches!

Kelly F.

Booked the class Next Level Desserts with Chef Shailini in Lexington

We had such a wonderful time last night with Chef Shailini! From start to finish, the experience was warm, welcoming, and so much fun. We made an incredible lineup of desserts: a rich, decadent flourless chocolate cake, perfectly creamy mini cheesecakes, and a beautifully balanced apple almond tart. Each recipe was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully explained, making the process approachable and enjoyable. Chef Shailini created such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It was great meeting new people who share a love of baking, and we walked away with so many helpful tips and techniques to elevate my baking at home. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves desserts and wants to learn from a talented and passionate chef!

Sandy K.

Booked the class Bake French Macarons at a Craft Distillery with Chef Rita in Everett

We had a great time in Chef Ritaâ€™s Macaron making class and learned so much! Who knew that making these four-ingredient cookies would include such an involved process. The class was less about the actual recipe and more about learning baking techniques, proper process, creating the right dough consistency, and proper cookie handling & filling. The class was so interesting and Chef Rita made it fun along the way. The result was a perfect macaron that was truly delicious. I highly recommend! Thank you Chef Rita!

Matt B.

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)

We took a class on a highly technical baking project, French macarons with Chef Lisa. It is hard to overstate what a great experience this was! Chef is part instructor, part motivator, and part scientist. She didn't just talk at us, but made sure that we were hands-on doing the work the whole time, and this gave me great confidence that I truly *can* do what we learned after the fact! She always made sure to give the feedback that we can (and are) going in the right direction, which is important. She was also super knowledgeable about the science behind the food, and gave all the details, and was able to answer any question we thought of. Being able to pick the brain of a real chef is a super useful aspect of the whole experience. I also want to say that you could tell from the little things that weren't listed in the course description that she has a passion for hospitality, and making sure her guests have a good time. 100% you will not regret one second of time spent in her classes!

Noel R.

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)

We made macarons and 2 other cookies (amaretti and a no bake coconut cookie). The class was a birthday present for my 11 year old daughter and Chef Lisa was amazing with her (and even altered what she had planned to bake with us to accommodate my daughter). We had a wonderful time and learned a lot!

Nitalia P.

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)

Chef Lisa greatly exceeded my expectations! Her vast knowledge in the culinary arts was prevalent in every answered question and explained technique. She was incredibly kind, patient, and personable throughout the class. Though it was a very educational few hours, Chef Lisa's humor made learning feel like play. I'm so happy with my experience overall and will most definitely recommend this class to everyone I know!

Lori D.

Booked the class Next Level Desserts with Chef Shailini in Lexington

Chef Shailini is engaging and very knowledgeable about baking. I attended the dessert class and had fun with the other students learning invaluable hints and tips with hands on participation after which we sampled our delicious results. The food was scrumptious and we left with recipes we could try at home. I am looking forward to cooking in Chef Shailiniâ€™s other classes!
