Booked the class Classic French Fare Inspired by Emily in Paris with Chef Samantha in Carnegie

This was such a great and fun experience!!! Chef Samantha was a great host and chef. We learned how to make French onion soup, croutons, mussels, steak, creamed leaks, peppercorn sauce, & crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e. The food was phenomenal 10/10!!! We didnâ€™t know the couple who joined us, but they were super nice. This was a unique date night experience and we would definitely do it again.

I loved Chef Samantha's class! She demonstrated how to perfectly fry sesame chicken, a recipe that I know will become a new staple in my home, and her mashed potatoes were to die for. Chef Samantha was fun and knowledgable and made her delicious dishes look absolutely manageable. I can't wait to pick up the ingredients and cook these recipes for my friends and family.

Chef Sam was wonderful--we cooked classic French cuisine from appetizer to dessert, learning everything from making fresh butter to flaming brandy for a wonderful black peppercorn sauce. We got to be very hands on because there were only two of us in this class. I believe the max is four, but that may get a little tight. Chef Sam shared that she has other classes available as well, so we will be booking our next one soon--we will definitely visit her again!

Thank you so much Sam!! The food was amazing! Your techniques even I could follow and prepare (and I am not a person that cooks at all). Super delicious and fun! Thank you for the sweet gesture with the birthday candle at the end on the dessert baklava for my partner. You are super thoughtful and it was so sweet of you! Thank you! I have already begun asking him when is he going to make me that baklava againâ€¦lol :D
