Chef Cregg led an incredible cooking class where my girlfriend and I crafted delicious handmade ravioli from scratch. Beyond the tasty outcome, Chef Cregg's thoughtful approach stood out. He not only shared his culinary expertise but also accommodated my allergies, going the extra mile to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. His passion for cooking and genuine care for participants shine through. The added bonus? A fantastic playlist that added to the overall joy. If I could, I'd give him a 100/10 score for an outstanding culinary and personal touch!

This was my first in-home cooking class and it was great! Chef Lasheeda was very organized and brought everything needed for us to make macarons and she was very thorough in her lessons. I learned so much about making macarons and macaron fillings and my family and I got to enjoy eating very tasty macarons. This was a great convenient way to take a cooking class and great way to learn from accomplished chefs. :)

My son and I had a great time learning how to make pastry dough as well as how to use the pastry dough to make three very delicious treats. My family thoroughly enjoyed tasting ALL of our tasty treats; we could not determine which was our favorite. You will come away having learned a lot about laminated dough and will come away with more than just good food, but also good memories.
