WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in NYC
01/16/2025
Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!

We had a fantastic time with chef Kenneth. He helped us prepare a delicious meal and we learned a lot. He is also great with kids. We planned the event for my middle school aged son who loves cooking and he had a blast. 10/10 will definetly book again. Thank you!

Chef Jamie is very personable and professional, overall an awesome host! She provided a well structured learning environment and guided us through our cooking experience with care. I had a special menu request and she was able to compromise with my selections, within reason, by suggesting healthy alternative options that we loved. Her expertise, advice and instruction is extremely appreciated. I highly recommend anyone looking to have a great private evening with a host filled with personality and knowledge to book her class!

Kymberly was so much fun! The food was DELICIOUS! Still waiting on those famous recipes to attempt to cook ;-) She was fantastic! Would def ask to work with her again!
