Very basic class, could have shown more cutting techniques. The classroom was very noisy because they were washing dishes throughout the class. I was expecting a lot more.

This is not the chef we had,though the chef we had at Sur La table was great. There was very little information shared with me about where we were actually going like the fact we were going to Siur La Table. I could’ve booked that on my own. I was expecting a better experience for my team and while our chef was great, they were preparing for the class after us from the minute we walked in and it was incredibly distracting and noisy. Probably would not book with you again. My mistake.

Everyone was friendly (class mates and lead chief) it’s the reason for 2 stars instead of 1. The class was large though and we all had to share everything. For example, there were 16 of us and only 8 cutting boards, 3 working burners and only 8 steaks. The whole meal was split into 2 groups so technically it was a communal meal prep and we all shared the food at the end. All of the ingredients were separated into two groups and we all had to share in preparing everything. The chief read the instructions/recipes aloud, and we all occasionally got to prepare some of the food since again, there were 8 of us (in my group) to prepare the 1 meal. When I signed up to pay $100 for this cooking class, I don’t recall reading anything that said I would be working with others to prepare the dishes. In fact, I signed up for this specific class because it mentioned I could attend it solo instead of others stating it was for couples or pairs. So having to eat after other people wasn’t what I was expecting and definitely not what I wanted to do. I left the event grateful for having been placed into a group of lovely ladies, but again I was initially under the impression I would have my own cooking station to prepare my own meal from start to finish and that I would learn something new about either cooking or tips on kitchen etiquette and I left with nothing new and still hungry. Based on this experience I can’t recommend this experience.
