My husband and I enjoyed our time! The food turned out great! Chef Bradford was energetic, engaging and kind. It was our first cooking class and we didnâ€™t know what to expect but we would definitely recommend. We made crab cakes, steak and a melted lava cake.

Jake L.

Booked the class South American Steak Night - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

Emily was excellent chef and guide that kept us on track while providing expert knowledge and some humor. Both the food and the experience were great!

Beverly G.

Booked the class Posh European Brunch with Chef Karmala in Queens (Long Island City)

Mala was unbelievable. There were two of us in the course and she quickly adapted her presentation to the skill level of the audience. I've taken numerous courses throughout the years and have never had such a delightful experience. The recipes were well documented, the instruction clear and concise, and the personality of the chef was IMPECCABLE. I would take courses with Mala anytime!

Mike P.

Booked the class Gourmet American Steakhouse with Chef Lamour in Queens (Astoria)

Dinner with chef lamour was terrific. She was friendly, helpful, very interesting and the food was amazing! The only thing I would say is that this was more of a private chef dinner as opposed to a cooking class. We helped somewhat with preparation and lamour certainly answered any questions we had and gave us various tips, but it was less of a class than we expected. This is not meant as a negative as we had an absolutely wonderful evening! Just Putting it out there so folks know what to expect.

Chef Bradford and his team were amazing. Great environment and great menu.

Daniel .

Booked the class Fantastic French Feast - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

Chef STEPHANIE was great, a few things that would have enhanced the experience. In my opinion, the food was too little to be satisfying for a dinner. You shouldâ€™ve had either bread on the table or some form of salad to start the meal. By the time we ate the scallops, they were cold, And it just wasnâ€™t enough to be a full dinner. I learned some great Tactics and overall was a very good experience, a few tweaks could make it even better. Thanks!

Adam A.

Booked the class Modern Steakhouse with Chef Ozzy in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

My wife and I took the "modern steakhouse" cooking class with Ozzy because we were having trouble getting the desired temperature on our steaks. Ozzy came to our apartment for the class which I thought was very helpful because we got to learn in our own kitchen. Ozzy is a very experienced and accomplished chef but he was also very friendly and we loved his teaching style as it allowed us to watch him and then replicate for ourselves. Iâ€™ve cooked steak 3 times since and I have been able to cook the steak at medium rare consistently. We are very grateful that we took this lesson and would recommend Chef Ozzy to anyone that wants to learn about cooking.

Amortya R.

Booked the class Rustic Steakhouse Flavors with Chef Misun

We had a fantastic evening with Chef Misun. She arrived on time and was fully prepared and extremely efficient at her craft. She is very knowledgeable and was constantly explaining the various steps of the cooking process. She asked us if we wanted to be hands-on or not - we preferred to watch, so she narrated the cooking process as we watched. She kept cleaning as she cooked and left our kitchen immaculate and spotless. The meal was amazing - we were blown away by the flavors in every course - the shrimp, the steak, the dessert. Chef Misun is very chatty - as we talked about her favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, we learnt that one of our favorite Japanese curry places is owned by her brother! We highly recommend Chef Misun for a cooking class or even a private dining session. Five stars!

Chef Karmala's cooking class was a delight! Her infectious personality made the experience both hilarious and informative. Throughout the class, she patiently explained each step and answered all our questions. I felt comfortable and competent in the kitchen, which is a HUGE deal. She gave us recipes I would attempt again. I can't recommend Chef Karmala's classes highly enough â€“ whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, you're guaranteed to have a good time and come away with new skills. Her passion for cooking shines through, adding an extra layer of inspiration to the whole experience.

Booked the class Indo-Caribbean Flavors with Chef Karmala in Queens (Long Island City)

I decided to surprise my boyfriend with a cooking class for our anniversary, and let me tell you â€“ it was absolutely amazing! We're total newbies in the cooking class scene, and honestly, we had no clue what we were getting into. But wow, were we blown away and we can't stop talking about the class! Mala, the magician behind the scenes, set up and prepped everything like an absolute pro. She was very friendly and could probably get a side gig as a stand up comedian. We left with smiles, full bellies, and a newfound love for the culinary arts. Count us in for more classes â€“ we're officially hooked! Thanks a million for such an unforgettable experience!

Crystal M.

Booked the class Gourmet American Steakhouse with Chef Lamour in Queens (Astoria)

So, first off my fiance and I had a GREAT TIME. Set aside the cooking and food for a moment Chef Lamour was just super fun and personable. We sat around gossiping and talking like old friends. And nothing goes better with good food than good conversation. But we also left with new tricks and skills in the kitchen which is what you went there for right?! My lovely lady was the one to find this experience and I'm ever grateful to her for it because this was well worth the time. Side note, but very important, this is a very intimate experience. Chef Lamour, my fiance and I, and another couple in a small space. It was perfect for making things feel very natural. Do yourself a favor and try it out.

Scott L.

Booked the class Sultry Sushi - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

We were not a fan of this cooking class, especially when so many great cooking classes exist in NYC. The instructor knew what they were doing, but didn't seem especially engaged with the class. One big issue was that this was billed as a date night cooking class, yet my partner and I were at a table with another couple and the four us cooked a meal together. In other words, the steps were split between four people, so my partner and I didn't complete the entire recipe (i.e. we cooked the rice, they fried the shrimp, we cut the vegetables, etc.). At a cooking class, I'd expect to make the entire recipe myself (or at least the entire recipe with my partner). In addition, the sanitary precautions were pretty terrible. We cut raw shrimp with a knife and cutting board and then were told to use the same knife and cutting board to cut the sashimi grade salmon. Definitely not sanitary. Finally, the amount of food we made was pretty small... we grabbed a few slices of pizza afterward. Short answer: find a different class; they exist.

Sahel R.

Booked the class Sultry Sushi - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

I recently had the experience of booking a Date Night cooking class, and while I wanted it to be a delightful surprise for my husband's birthday, it unfortunately turned out to be quite disappointing. Hereâ€™s the breakdown: First, I have to give a shoutout to our chef, Tina! She was fantasticâ€”definitely a 5-star personality! Charming and engaging, she really tried to make the best out of a last minute changes. Her team worked hard, and I appreciate that. However, the experience itself fell short for several reasons. I booked the class on the same day before midday, and I was excited, but the location wasnâ€™t disclosed until a few hours before. When we arrived, our names werenâ€™t on the list, and there was no table set up for us. To make matters worse, we were informed that they didnâ€™t have enough ingredients because four others had booked last minute. We were short on rice, which was disappointing. Instead of the promised tuna, we were given salmon, and again, there wasnâ€™t enough for everyone. Itâ€™s frustrating that with a little planning, they could have sourced more ingredients from a nearby Whole Foods, which was just a three-minute walk away. Instead, they decided to divide what little they had among 13 people. Overall, Iâ€™m sad to say I wonâ€™t be booking through this website again. Itâ€™s a shame when a fun idea turns into a letdown, especially when youâ€™re hoping to create memorable moments.

Sydney S.

Booked the class Cooking Techniques and Mediterranean Classics with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

Had to share my meal I paid almost $200 for with two strangers. It wasnâ€™t mentioned in any information and the two girls we had to share with also said nowhere did it say that. I also never got the recipe that was told would be emailed to me, and they tried to pitch us in a half assed sale. Throughly unimpressed will not be doing this again. This star literally goes straight to the chef. I know itâ€™s not their fault the rules are made by the company, but fuck the company. Thank you Chef Steven for the great time, for answering my questions, and teaching me and my boyfriend some new tips and tricks.

Fun class, but food portions were dissapointingly small, especially sharing a steak between 4 people.
