WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Santa Fe
we had a terrific time, both preparing the feast and visiting with Chef & Cara! We’ll look forward to using our new skills & knowledge at home. Thanks so much for an awesome experience!
Chef Peter was fantastic! He was on time, great at communication, and made the entire experience fun for our group of 7 women on a holiday together. He accommodated food preferences and was super engaging. He also cleaned everything - the kitchen was even more spotless than when he arrived! Would highly recommend him for any event.
We had an amazing time with Chef Peter! We came to the Kitchen Table kitchen for the Italian cooking class for our anniversary. Peter was very patient with us as we ran into an accident. He had gotten together all of the fresh ingredients for us, and gave us minor direction as we started. If there were skills we weren’t able to do, he stepped in and instructed us. He also gave us lots of good tips we could apply to other recipes. We had a great time having an intimate dinner together once we were all done. Everything was delicious and it was well worth the price for the food and experience. Would definitely take another class with Chef Peter!
