Booked the class Classic Pho From Scratch with Chef Michelle in Houston (Blue Bell Village)
Loved this class! Michelle and Christmas are so gracious and lovely. Learned to make shrimp toast, peanut dressing, waffles and pho!! So delicious! Hope I get back to Houston someday and learn more.
Booked the class Haute Halal Filipino Favorites with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
Three of us went for Haute Halal Filipino Favorites class, we enjoyed the company and the food. We also had a visitor that brought in Tamales to taste, so that was a surprise and fun. But we felt that if this was a cooking class we left without learning anything from the Chef. We were hoping for insight into Philippines cooking and basics but we ended up with pre cooked soup that was already made before we showed up. The starter was also pre-made before we showed up. There was only one station so only one person got hands on experience of cooking 3 dishes. So if you want to learn this is not the class for you. If you want to have good food and company this is a great experience. The price felt steep for what our experience was.
Booked the class Classic Pho From Scratch with Chef Michelle in Houston (Blue Bell Village)
Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas did a wonderful job hosting us! They helped to accommodate for our peanut allergy, and tariff is in a way where it was quick and easy to make each course. The salad was fantastic with the candied pecans, and the strawberry vinaigrette was a good sub in for the peanut sauce. The shrimp toast and duck sauce were a great appetiser, and the pandan waffles with berries and ice cream was a great finisher! The main pho itself held a spicy, flavourful beef broth, and the cuts of beef were really thick yet tender. Our only minor gripe was that we wished we cooked the noodle longer since the texture felt a bit stiff. Fun time overall, perfect for a date night!

Booked the class Shanghai-Style Fare with Chef Wei in Houston
Chef Wei is simply amazing! Her passion for authentic Shanghai cuisine shines through in every dish.

Booked the class Better Than Takeout Chinese with Chef Christmas in Houston (Blue Bell Village)
This was a great experience! They were so prepared & welcoming. It was a relaxed, yet professional experience that myself & boyfriend enjoyed. We definitely want to do this again!
Booked the class Better Than Takeout Chinese with Chef Christmas in Houston (Blue Bell Village)
Our experience was amazing, Christmas & Michelle were fun and easy to work with. We got there 20min early on accident and she was quick to invite us in and adjust her plans accordingly. She was a great instructor, and I feel that I could confidently replicate this ~delicious~ meal again. We booked this as part of an anniversary weekend getaway, and it was exactly the type of fun, intimate activity that we wanted, she even took our pictures and put together a little album of our dishes. My only criticism was that it only lasted just less than 2 hours, this was only a problem as we had arranged it to go straight to the airport after and ended up with an extra hour (+20) to kill. Very small inconvenience, and did not deduct from our day at all, 10/10 would do it again ?

Booked the class Filipino-Style Chicken Barbecue with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
Chef Nancy made us feel welcomed in her home and the cooking experience we had with her was amazing! She was very attentive to our needs and gave us good tips and feedback that we can incorporate into our own cooking at home. She had us taste test different ingredients as we cooked the food as opposed to tasting the final product. She shared with us her cultural culinary background and fun stories. I highly recommend taking one of Chef Nancy's cooking classes to not only gain culinary knowledge but to also have fun with cooking!

Booked the class Traditional Filipino Adobo with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
Chef Nancy is an excellent host and entertainer. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons she imparted on us and the welcoming atmosphere she created at her home. We ended up being a group of four and we each assisted in preparing one dish each. Chef Nancy explained each dish and encouraged us to taste various ingredient to understand the different flavor profiles. This a great environment for beginners and it isn’t intimidating at all for novice cooks.

Booked the class Sushi Making for Beginners with Chef Jaken in Houston (Memorial City)
Chef Lonnie was fun and informative! It was a lot of fun to get hands-on with the sushi to make veggie hand rolls, cucumber rolls, and tuna rolls. I think a little more structure to get the class's attention would have been helpful, since there was a lot of talking and missed attention at times, requiring Chef to shout over the room. But all in all, a great experience!

Booked the class Authentic Chinese Dim Sum with Chef Wei in Houston
More observational than interactive, but very informative, Chef Wei’s Dim Sum class was an entertaining way to spend an evening. Folding the different dumplings, rolling tapioca pearls, and chopping some veggies, followed by eating everything made us feel very comfortable about trying the recipes at home in the future. Thank you!
