I gave this cookie making/decorating class to Ben, my eight year old grandson, as a birthday gift. Ben started out shy, but in no time, Chef Morgan had him fully engaged and gave him the confidence he needed to work through every step of the recipes. She was there when she needed to be, stepped back when she felt he "got it" and cheered him along throughout the morning. Ben couldn't wait to tell his twin brother and parents about his morning's activities and show off his cookies when he got back home! I highly recommend this class and I thank Chef Morgan for making the day a special one for Ben!

I was expecting a more hands on experience cooking each of the dishes. With the cost of a two hour class, was looking for more active learning on proper cutting technics etc. One of the dishes had fried shrimp after being in the oil for a short period the batter was pail and shrimp did not look to be fully cooked. I was expecting a good practice of checking temps would also be incorporated. When I asked the chef what temp the shrimp should reach they stated 165. The proper internal temp for seafood is actually 145, we choose just not to eat the shrimp. The gumbo I thought was going to be more authentic with an andouille sausage, however the flavor profile was more of ring bologna. Was our first cooking class and was a pricey disappointment.

Overall it was a great experience! I went because it was a Christmas gift experience I got for my friend, Kelly. I would have liked to put together the salad as well. The Steak had cooled off considerably after our little break, so I was a bit disappointed in that. But overall it was such a new experience for me! I learned a new way to place the steak into the pan..(more safely!) without oil splash back. And to let it sit in the pan for that good sear for the first 5-6 minutes. I do (I would say about 90%) of the cooking at home, so I felt comfortable being there and learning from the Chef. And it taught me that I really needed to get a few more efficient cooking utensils. Thank you so much for making it a fun time! I know my friend also enjoyed her time there too!

Explanations were poor, and I didn’t feel like she enjoyed what she was doing

This was my first class I was under the impression that I would learn more than I did. I feel we should have been making all the different parts of the dishes. We did not know how the sorbet was made, or even the rice noodles. I feel we didn't even understand how to roll the fresh rolls with poached shrimp. We did not get hints on how to roll it up. Like get the cutting board wet before we put the rice paper wrappers down to roll up the ingredients. I was very disappointed.

I loved the class. Maybe a few tweaks needed but all in all I would do it again. I'm not a chef but I learned some new skills that I'll take with me. I'd take a class again.

It was excellent. It was very hands on, and the class was small. Justin, the chef that was the class instructor, is a fantastic, hands on teacher.

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.
