WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE BEGINNER COOKING CLASSES IN CHICAGO
Karen M.
Booked the class A Taste of Italian Classics with Chef Janet in Chicago
What a delicious Italian meal we prepared ! The evening flew by as we all participated in the prep. Our budding chefs gained confidence and seasoned cooks some new tricks!
Sandra Vazquez .
Booked the class Fabulous Croissants with Chef Eric in Chicago (Streeterville)
Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — but the Roasted Leek and Gruyère Croissant was truly top tier! I’m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.
