We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

5 Star class! Ivan made it very educational, but also fun and delicious! They were able to separate our group into 2 kitchens, so it was more hands on. We even got leftovers! Will definitely attend another one of his classes!

Booked the class Elevated Bento Box with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

Chef Nora was great! Unlike other cooking classes I've done, this one wasn't stressful & overly fast paced. Instead, everyone cooked together, doing a part of the preparation. The Bento box class was awesome, I learned skills that I'll be able to transfer over.

The experience was amazing. Chef Stefano was pleasant and a pleasure to cook with. Providing cooking tips along the way; laughter and great fun. This was my first time and I didnâ€™t know what to expect, I was immediately put at ease, both Chefs are super friendly and very informative. I would go experience this again. By the way the food turned out delicious and your take away is knowing how to make whatever you make in the kitchen that day!! Hope this was helpful in you making a decision to go and create awesome food with help from two awesome Chefs.
