Fabulous Croissants Review Photo from Cooking Class in Chicago

Booked the class Fabulous Croissants with Chef Eric in Chicago (Streeterville)

Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious â€” but the Roasted Leek and GruyÃ¨re Croissant was truly top tier! Iâ€™m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

Bistro Bites Review Photo from Cooking Class in Chicago

Booked the class Bistro Bites with Chef Rakhi in Chicago (North Center)

Exceptional! My wife and really enjoyed the entire evening. I especially did, given the fact that I am not good at cooking AT ALL. Chef Rakhi was accommodating, patient, and a wonderful teacher. I have now graduated from being the WORST CHEF. The Bistro experience was fabulous, but what truly made the experience exceptional, was simply the time we spent getting to know Chef Rakhi. She is and amazing woman with an amazing story. Can't wait to read the book.

Booked the class Bistro Bites with Chef Rakhi in Chicago (North Center)

We did the bistro class with Chef Rakhi and really enjoyed the whole experience! She was very thorough in her explanations and in answering all of our questions. We also enjoyed talking with her and sharing stories while our food was cooking. The chicken pot pie was delicious and very flavorful, and the salad seemed so simple but showed us new ways to combine ingredients. We would definitely book this and other experiences again!

Booked the class Classy Steakhouse Dinner - Date Night with Chef William in Skokie

I was incredibly disappointed by this class. First things first, I booked this because it mentioned bringing wine or beer. We were immediately told that this was not allowed. We were really excited to have this as a date night and that plan had to change. I couldâ€™ve moved on past this if the class was at all impressive but it wasnâ€™t. The teacher never introduced himself. So I wonâ€™t be able to refer to him by name in this review. The packets left at our stations were the internal use only packets so I know exactly where the class fell short. This is an aside, but it also had the specific sales pitches the teacher was supposed to be using which felt a little gross. I understand that a class like this cannot be every step by step due to timing but the teacher didnâ€™t teach us anything. He had us put the steaks in a dry pan (I incorrectly trusted the process here, but the recipe that we got AFTER the class confirmed there shouldâ€™ve been oil in the pan). He told one table, not the class, how long to sear the steaks for. We happened to overhear him speaking to another table. Because we had the internal packet, I saw that he was supposed to teach us about searing, about emulsifying a vinaigrette, about the texture of the mousse. He did none of this. He occasionally walked around and said â€œthat looks goodâ€. Like he said our pan sauce was good to go. We hadnâ€™t even added the broth yet because our burner had shut off and we couldnâ€™t get his attention to help on this. But he said that ours was done and good to go. How? I think the whole night couldâ€™ve been salvageable if the food were well-cooked. We got back into the room after the break and he announced that the steaks were cooked to a â€œperfect medium rareâ€. Absolutely not. I eat a lot of steak and this was RARE. Like purple rare. A lot of people in the class sent their steak to be cooked more. The potatoes were also so undercooked. I had to saw at it with a steak knife. I would never recommend this to anyone and will not be booking this class ever again.
