Chef was fantastic! Food was delicious. I did think we'd have more hands on prep with the food. The creme brulee was already prepped - but we did get to sugar & brulee with the torch. The potatoes were already cut, peeled, and boiled so only 1 person got to mash. I did really like how the chef demonstrated how to cook the steak and make the mushroom sauce. We all got to do that at individual stations. The little burner was just ok and took a while when people didn't want to cross-cook steaks due to different temperature preferences. Overall, really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend for folks who want to learn some new prep methods.

A group of four of us attended Chef Regina's cooking class and I must say we were all extremely pleased! Only one from the group was vegan but we all were pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. She was very thorough in explaining the cooking process, choosing ingredients and even possible substitutions. Her class is a must for any vegans out there or for anyone wanting to try something new! I highly recommend Chef Regina. 5 stars!

We took the New Orleans style vegan class with Chef Regina, who graciously welcomed us into her home. She went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The food was amazing and we can't wait to try the recipes on our own. We would 100% recommend taking a class with Chef Regina!

Chef ReginaвЂ™s class exceeded all of my expectations. It was fun, engaging, and she made everything very easy to follow. Most surprising for me - I want to make every single thing we made instead of just one or two things! Absolutely delicious and she made the night a real pleasure! I highly recommend!

Kathy is incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. Had a blast working in her beautiful home, and the romantic dinner candle-lit dinner we made with her tutelage was out of the world delicious!

We had a wonderful time with Chef Robin. She was great at working around our small kitchen and got everyone involved in the cooking process. She also had a ton of great cooking tips that we can apply to many dishes we make. Of course, the food was out of this world!! We would definitely recommend anyone in the Chicago area to take Chef Robin's class.

This was my first cooking class, and itвЂ™s exactly what I was hoping for! Chef David taught us helpful knife skills with a fun and laid back environment. The other class members were super fun too! My girlfriend and I will definitely be back, and weвЂ™ll bring some friends with!

My fiancГ© and I recently had the pleasure of attending a fried chicken and biscuit cooking class and it exceeded all our expectations! Chef David's passion for Southern cuisine was evident from the start, and his friendly demeanor created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The hands-on experience kicked off with the secrets of achieving the perfect fried chicken with seasoning and marination. While we waited for the chicken to marinate, we transitioned into making the biscuits. Chef David shared his foolproof grandma's biscuit recipe. The hands-on approach allowed us to feel the dough's texture and witness the magic unfold as the biscuits rose to perfection in the oven. While waiting for the biscuits to bake in the oven, we also had the opportunity to learn how to fry the chicken to golden perfection. The highlight of the class, of course, was the tasting session. The joy of sinking my teeth into the crispiest and flavorful fried chicken and pairing it with a tender, buttery biscuit was simply incomparable. If you're a food enthusiast or just looking to up your kitchen game, Chef David's class is an absolute must!

We love everything about it, the cleanliness and lay out of the kitchen the backyard OMG! Simple but inviting It feels like Home so clean and relaxing. One of the best thing about taking this class not only we learned and eat good food after it feels nice to meet new people. Definitely will take Chef David cooking class again!

This was a fantastic class! Chef Regina is an incredible instructor, and her recipes are exceptional. The "New Orleans Fare Made Vegan" class included crabless cakes that were better than many crab cakes I've eaten, better jambalaya than I got in New Orleans for my honeymoon last month, and the best bread pudding I've ever eaten. (I have never liked bread pudding - until now!) I was thrilled with this class and will definitely seek out additional classes!

If you are vegan, know someone who is, or just a curious carnivore, then I highly suggest you go with a group and let Chef Regina cook for you! Everything was full of flavor and made with love. You'll get great conversation, insight, and an amazing view of the Chicago skyline from the location. What could be better than that?

Chef Dave is a very talented chef. His dishes were clever, bold and thoughtful. I adored the flavors of the garlic soup and everything he paired with it. He was a great teacher as well. ItвЂ™s safe to say I finished every last bite of everything we prepared. Thanks for cooking and hosting!

Chef Alan is a personable, talented chef and accomplished improvisational musician. The improv thinking definitely translates into his cooking because I've never thought to put some ingredients together (i.e. mango, crab, and asparagus). I adored the tuna tempura and finished every last bite. I'll be attempting that one soon myself because I can't stop thinking about it. Thanks for cooking and hosting me, Alan!В

Wow- Where do I start with my time with Chef Robin. Chef Robin was SPECTACULAR! I decided to use Chef Robin for a Christmas gift and it turned out to be an unbelievable gift! Chef Robin was on-time, polite, and extremely professional throughout our experience. She went above and beyond our expectations and her food was outstanding! Her food was fun, simple, yet extremely creative that included tons of delicious flavor! We will definitely be using Chef Robin in the future for other catering/dinner parties/ private chef lessons. I would highly recommend Chef Robin to anyone who is looking for an unbelievable & fun personal chef experience!

What a great time with Chef Rick! He shows just how easy it is to make homemade tortillas from scratch--no rolling pins here--all by hand! Want an easy and alternative approach to a healthy salad with just using a potato peeler? And if you've ever wondered how to present eggs in a unique, yet delicious way--Chef Rick will show you. A fun time with a chef who is passionate about food and preparing it for others. Definitely take this class!

I've rediscovered french toast after eating Chef Nicholas' "tipsy" interpretation of this popular classic--very decadent! A chef who knows his food and has no problem sharing his knowledge to you as he shows you how to break apart roasted duck, make a roulade using fish, or the basic techniques of French cuisine.

The steak featured was pretty flimsy. Given that, the experience seemed overpriced, though fun.
