The class was set up well, the Chef was bossy and wasnâ€™t very personable. I think I will choose a different cooking class next time. The meals all turned out amazing though.

Fun and delicious! My husband and I rarely bake, so we really enjoyed learning the intricacies of making macaroons. The instructor was really nice and knowledgeable. Fun space to work in!

She spent a lot of time facing the other side of the class so we couldnt hear or see what she was doing at the time. Otherwise was very fun would do again if i wanted to spend that kind of money.

Class instructions were easy to follow, and the end result was pretty tasty. I liked the smallish class size.

The class was easy to follow, and I feel the recipes will be easy to replicate at home. This class should be 3 hrs long, not 2. The dough didn't have enough time to rise and didn't have enough time to bake. My focaccia bread wound up burning because the instructor was moving on with the class and the bread didn't get out of the oven fast enough.

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.

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.

Marianne

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with this cooking class and had so much fun! Would have been better with a little wine or champagne but it was great. We've already made a few of the dishes!!

Terri

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!

Delia

01 Dec 2023

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.

Our family of 3 (including a teen son) really enjoyed this class. The recipes were easy to figure out and make, and it's nice to have the book to refer to the 3 things we made, as well as all of the other content. Chef Kelley was very helpful, friendly, and encouraging with our son!

Ernie

Overall very informative. Adult only class would be a nice option.. Chef had amazing experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Should have a 5 min late policy. Late guests distracting. Would have liked a little quicker pace. Overall Very great seat up. Definitely an experience.

Emilie

01 Dec 2023

Overall, the class was really fun! In a way I wish it was a tiny bit more challenging. It felt like we did a few knife cuts, then took a break and then cooked a bit before eating. All in all, I wish it had been a bit more difficult or ""fast"" pace wise. The food we made was really good, except for the pad thai which was disappointing. Also would be super nice to make a dessert!"

The Instructor was "world class" with supportive instructions and humorous analogies. Considering taking the class for a second time.

Eyitemi

04 Dec 2023

The fellow attendees and the concept of the class were good. The instructor was not beginner friendly. Also, you are a not allowed take home leftovers. You must eat everything on-site. Sadly, a lot of food was tossed in the trash.

Antonino

The dim sum was good and the class was well organized. However, for the price, I expected much more food. We left hungry.

Mark

11 Jul 2024

The food was great but we were not provided anything to drink for the entire two hours. We were told that water would be brought out and it never happened. Also, Arra was quite brash to a few of the guests. I would love to take a class here again but it will not be with her.

Romualdo

Not as advertised. I signed up for a class with Chef Arra, I was disappointed it was just another class taught by someone else. I feel this was very deceptive. The class was fine, but not what I paid for on Cozymeal.
