Cooking Class - A Night at the French Bistro

My boyfriend and I enjoyed every minute of this French Bistro class. From the moment we met Lisa it was enjoyable conversation, extremely educational, and a ton of fun. A pleasant surprise was the romantic candle light dinner setting as Lisa served us and we enjoyed the food that we made. We will definitely be going back for more classes and delicious food!

Excellent evening! Loved every minute of it. Lisa is the BEST.

Lisa was amazing! We felt so at home while cooking and at the end she had even set up a cozy dining area for us to enjoy the food. I highly recommend her!!

What a wonderful time. Chef Lisa is an amazing educator and host. She helped my friends and I cook a meal that tasted amazing. I almost forgot we made it while we were eating it.

our evening with Lisa surpassed our expectations...she is the real deal! Talented, articulate, enthusiastic, and a teacher by nature. My son and I learned so much about technique, food balance, and the culinary arts. She really took my son under her wings to demonstrate proper techniques, and he was a thrilled twenty year old. She asked questions and drew us out, and had us thinking about the food , the preparation and methodology. And of course, then we were served a wonderful meal..... it was a wonderful private.

From the moment we entered the apartment, we knew this night would be memorable. A birthday gift from my hubs, Chris, who wanted to gift experiences/memories vs things and french cuisine (well everything related to france) is among our favorite things- he delivered. Chef Lisa had soft jazz reminiscent of a Paris cafe in the Roaring 20s and her apartment decor showed that she had traveled the world, bringing a piece of her travels back to Brighton. We were welcomed with an amazing cheese and homemade fig paste that I honestly could have eaten in its entirety, but knew courses were coming. From the moment we entered the kitchen I was struck with how well she was as an instructor. I love cooking (I'm no chef- I just enjoy it) and Lisa was able to help sharpen my skills and teach me new ways of looking at putting a dish together. The hubs is not a cook- and he held his own, making an amazing honey mustard vinaigrette and he even made the main course (very excited for this.... as it means he will also be in charge of 1 meal a month ;) From start to finish, we were educated, not only in cooking, but the science behind it, which I found fascinating! We were so relaxed, shared stories with Lisa of travel, and by the time the meal ended and dessert was basically licked clean, we both felt that we had met someone who we would see again. If you at all are weirded out by not going to some class or restaurant for a cooking lesson and coming to someones home- DO NOT BE. This was one of the most memorable experiences that my husband and I have had (& we have had many). Do yourself a favor- and book Lisa!

Lisa was funny, friendly and very knowledgeable!

It was our first cooking experience and we had a wonderful evening with Chef Lisa! She was very informative, enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor. Lisa also taught us some knife techniques and was very patient and encouraging. We highly recommend!

A truly wonderful evening! Chef Lisa was very informative, patient, and encouraging taking the time to lead us through each recipe and work on a variety of cooking skills that could be applied to many other meals. The meal itself was so tasty and we look forward to making it again at home!

Lisa was great! We learned many techniques of cooking and sharpen our skills in cooking and estimating and fixing salad dressings. Her enthusiasm and encouraging nature was easy and fun. A very delicious dinner and fun evening.

the guys who new little about cooking - Lisa was great! We learned a lot and really enjoyed the evening and getting to know her.

My mother and I had a wonderful time taking a class with Chef Lisa. She was professional and knowledgeable, and shared a lot of tips and information with us as we put together our meal. She was prepared and gave good explanations, which made trying something new less daunting. She was also considerate and took the time to address some dietary concerns. Even though we have taken other cooking classes, we both felt like we learned new things. We also found her to be a gracious and welcoming host. We highly recommend the experience.

Chef Lisa was absolutely amazing. Completely shattered expectations. We had such an amazing evening and with her guidance the food came out amazing. Highly recommend this experience with her!

Super fun, relaxed, informative and delicious experience. Would highly recommend!

Truly and amazing night!

Our experience was fantastic we enjoyed it immensely. It was also very educational and informative. We worked hands on to complete the meal. Overall had a great time and would do it again.

We had a great time at chef Lisa’s. This was our first cooking class experience and I’m so glad it was. The food was amazing and she is so flexible with everything you need/want. She is so willing to really show you how to do everything step by step and she taught me that cooking doesn’t have to be a big scary ordeal. It can be really easy to make great food and desert. Chef Lisa herself is such a great person. If you have any interest in food at all you need to try this class!!

Lisa was a great teacher and a wealth of knowledge for both my brother and me. Her home was really welcoming and the food turned out great. Such a special evening!
