We made 3 different types of sushi rolls and matcha ice cream. Our chef Amalia was amazing! So patient, kind, knowledgeable, informative and pleasant! The facilities staff was great but it was extremely cold in the kitchen and would’ve been nicer to have seating for mealtime instead of standing.
Chef Amelia was lovely and has so much to share. She fielded questions, explained all in a way those that have cooking experience as well as those who don’t can understand. Everything was delicious and we will try to recreate from home!!! Thank you chef!!
I purchased this class as a birthday gift for my husband. Chef Amalia was great! She was extremely knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable. Would absolutely take another class here. Food was delicious!
Amalia is a great teacher and was very sweet and generous with our questions and conversation. It was an informative and relaxing experience and the food turned out so good! I highly recommend Amalia and her class if you’d like to have a fun social activity that is more chill and wholesome.
Everyone had a fabulous time !!
It was beyond our expectations
The chef and staff were so amazing
Made the day ..The experience was immeasurable !! We will be doing this again soon
Chef Amalia was absolutely amazing! I can't say enough about her. She was not only incredibly patient but also took the time to walk us through each step of the cooking class with such warmth and clarity. It felt like cooking with a close friend who just happens to be an expert chef! Her guidance made the entire experience so enjoyable and engaging.
What truly stood out were her fantastic suggestions for substituting ingredients, making it easy for us to recreate the delicious meal at home. We have since made chicken dumplings using the techniques we learned during the class. And let's talk about that lemon-flavored caramel – it was a revelation! Learning how to make it was definitely a highlight of the class for me.
I'm already looking forward to signing up for another class with Chef Amalia. Her expertise, passion, and delightful personality truly make her classes a must-do experience!
The rice was undercooked. Several groups agreed. A date night event for 2 was not intimate since the set-up was for 4 people. There should have been individual (per group) cups for soy and wasabi. Chef, coffee station, and location were excellent.
