WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Whitby
My friend and I had an amazing time with the 7-course Italian Seafood cooking class. Chef Vinutha is incredibly knowledgeable, explained every step clearly, and shared so many helpful techniques. The space was cozy, clean, and made the experience even more enjoyable. All the dishes made were absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun cooking experience!
My friend and I took the French Bistro cooking class and had such a great experience. The class was fun, engaging, and very easy to follow thanks to the chefs, who were patient, helpful, and made the atmosphere enjoyable throughout the evening.
The class was set for four people, and each pair participated in preparing different parts of the five-course meal, including a caramelized onion and tomato tarte tatin, bavette steak with mushrooms and red wine pan sauce, roasted smashed baby potatoes, French bistro salad, and a French soufflé. After cooking, each group shared the steps they took to prepare their dish, which made the experience interactive and educational.
The ingredients were high quality, the BYOB option was a fun touch, and overall it felt like such a unique and memorable experience. I would absolutely love to take another class here every few months to continue learning from such talented professionals.
Had a great time in this class, instructions were clear and easy to follow. Can't wait to try out what we learned and try different combinations.
We had a fantastic evening with Chef Mathieu. He is an excellent educator, a lot of fun, he provided information and opportunities to create something new. We gave him a few challenges with having a big age range from 12 - 60 and then added a Vegan and a gluten free client, he was able to manage all of it extremely well. There was a lot of food, fun and we all learned new things about spices and techniques for cooking. Thanks so much for a fabulous evening Mathieu. Highly recommend!
