Chef Andrea was an excellent instructor. I especially appreciated that after she would display how to pleat the siu mai and har gow skin, she came around each table to give assistance to those who needed help. Also, qwhen the har gow flour didn't work out, she was prepared for plan B. Her helpers also helped make the class run smooth. The class was fun!!!

A sub chef at last minute. No teaching necessarily but just follow the process. Not good. Kitchen was overcrowded with people without stove. We were paired with strangers and not enough things for people to work on. We didn’t even end up having a piece of ribs for ourselves at all! Very much below expectations.

I would say that the description of the event were not clear. It did not mention that we would be divided into teams and wouldn’t get to do all the steps ourselves to learn better. The experience could have been better. Most of the steps were done by the chef and the rest had to be divided among 4-5 people. I have attended cooking classes before, and we get to do all steps ourselves which helps grasp and learn better. Other than that, chef Andrea was sweet. She answered everyone’s questions and was also open to teaching knife skills to some that were new.

As other reviews have said, it's chaotic with a full class of 16. The instructions were unclear sometimes; it seemed like the chef was doing the recipes for the first time and reading from the printout. We still haven't received the recipes - apparently if you register through Cozymeal, the recipes are either delayed (so far) or never sent (if we don't get them soon). I asked the chef, and she said that if you register through Cozymeal, it takes another day or two, but we still haven't seen 'em.

We were paired up with another couple so really only got to cook less than half a meal. Pretty disappointed for something entitled “romantic” and “date night”. Just be upfront about this in the description.

Chef Andrea and her team were amazing! We had so much fun! I would suggest a smaller class or bigger tables. We were fortunate to have 2 at our table. The tabels who had 4 people, had 2 cutting boards, and shared ingredients. I would have been disappointed. Over all we had a great experience.

Honestly this shouldnt be promoted, charging customers a Chef pricing but giving us someone completely different. What's the point of selling your profile if you are not available? The group is also larger than 16 people. Big crowd in a small kitchen. Not recommended at all.

We did not get the recipes. garn777@gmail.com nelsusan@gmail.com The class was good, the food was very good, but we would have preferred learning in a smaller group.

Had a good time, pasta and salad were delicious. Only suggestion will be to have some chairs we we can sit and eat instead of standing and eat.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

This was a fun and wonderful class. The recipes were delicious . Chef Chris was a true professional chef. She gave little inside tips, was very good at explaining the recipes. I would take another class with Chef Chris!

Chef Tanya and Jake, the cooking instructors, were terrific! They not only shared valuable tips for cooking but also for prepping and cleaning the station. I was thrilled with the class and can't wait to sign up for another one. If you're interested, book your spot on a Saturday or Sunday.

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious. Ready to register for my next class. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
