I Enjoyed this class so much! It was my first time, and the Teacher/ Chef and her Sous Chef made me feel so welcomed. I learned so much and had no trouble with anything due to the Chefs excellent explanation and teaching skills. I highly recommend this or any upcoming classes. Will definitely be back!

The donut class was an AMAZING experience that I could not recommend highly enough! Chef Meg is hilarious and makes the class extremely engaging, and her dog Doug was an adorable sous-chef. I will certainly be back to take a class with her again!

I booked Meg's class for my (long-distance) partner's birthday and he ABSOLUTELY loved it! Meg was very accommodating beforehand as I wanted to keep this a surprise for him :) He had a great time (and banter) with her (and her wonderfully cute dog) - what I would do to have one of those doughnuts!!! Next time im in DC i will definitely be booking a class with Meg, and I recommend you do too!!

Chef Meg was an absolute delight! Great personality, excellent chef, really made us welcome in her home - I cannot rave more about our experience. Anyone who has taste buds should choose her.

Donuts with Chef Meg was wonderful - cannot recommend highly enough! We learned so much and felt so comfortable in Meg's lovely home. The class was fantastic and the donuts were incredible! And a special shout out to Doug, the adorable doggy audience to our class :)

I purchased a class with chef Meg for my husband’s birthday. We learnt how to make donuts, and that was a fun experience! It would be fun to do everything ourselves (including mixing the dough, frying the donuts) but I understand that the format is a bit different and it would take much longer. So I appreciate that everything went well and smoothly. Chef Meg is a charming and very pleasant person.

This cooking class was a Valentine’s Day gift for my husband who is a HUGE donut lover. Cheif Meg was absolutely phenomenon. She was professional and friendly, made us feel very comfortable from the beginning to the end. The donuts were so so sooooo good! Even my husband said it was the best donuts he ever had. I loved every single moments during the class. Thank you so much for the wonderful time today!! I joked about giving her 1 star today. I don’t think she still deserves 5 stars, she deserves at 10 stars!! âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ Jen & Josh

My girlfriend and I had so much fun making donuts with Chef Meg (and her little dog, too)! Meg made us feel right at home and comfortable as soon as we walked in. She walked us through what we'd be doing, then coached us as we started making glazes and the dough. The final product was delicious and way too much to eat in one night! Along the way, Meg was very entertaining and shared many hilarious stories, as well as several helpful cooking tips. We had a lot of fun and got a lot out it, so I would highly recommend!

Chef Meg was kind, friendly, and engaging. She helped us when we needed it but also let us take charge. The donuts we made were absolutely fabulous: rich, crunchy, and soft. Her selected glaze flavors were delicious! She offered practical tips and useful skills, such as how Jacques Pepin cracks an egg. We had a really great time!

I loved Chef Meg! She was very friendly and responsive, even helping me figure out how to reach her apartment. She (and her adorable dog) kept my boyfriend and me entertained the whole two hours, as she has a wonderful personality and interesting personal stories. That being said, I thought this experience would be more "hands-on", as stated in the event description. Instead, my boyfriend and I idly sat for 1.5 hours as we watched Chef Meg do a host of things, before we finally got to participate in the last part of glazing the donuts. The donuts turned out to be delicious, though, since Chef Meg is truly a talented chef!

Booked the class Buttery Croissants and Flaky French Pastry with Chef Jailyn in Alexandria (Old Town)
Informative class. Format allowed us to bake using previously prepared dough and then create dough to leave for others. Plenty of opportunity to try a bit of every step even with 4 people per group.

Booked the class Perfect Pastry Skills with Chef Benoit in Silver Spring (Forest Glen)
Attending a cooking class at Chef Benoit's cozy home was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, he was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also warm and accommodating, making us feel at ease. The ambiance was perfect—romantic and jazzy, setting the tone for an intimate and engaging evening. Every dish we prepared was delicious, but the highlight for me was the Apple Tarte Tatin—absolutely divine! If you're looking for a hands-on culinary experience with a talented chef in a charming setting, this class is a must-- just bring your wine! Highly recommend!

My teen son and I had a wonderful time! We weren’t sure what to expect; it was a pleasure to meet Chef’s family and hear about his experiences as a professional chef, while we prepared delicious desserts. His delightful hospitality was a warm addition to our holiday season, and has inspired my son to explore more creations.

Booked the class Hearty Homemade Pies with Chef Scott in Arlington (Pentagon City)
Chef Marion was excellent. The class was a lot of fun. The ovens weren't big enough or didn't cook evenly enough. Despite Chef Marion rotating the pies a lot, the crusts got burned on one side. Such a shame.

Booked the class Homemade Donuts and Fillings with Chef Meg in Washington (Bellevue)
Chef Meg was absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend and I took her doughnut making class as a birthday present for him. It ended up being only us and Chef Meg, and of course her dog Doug, as she graciously welcomed us into her home. She has an amazing personality and had us laughing the whole night - not to mention we made some incredible doughnuts! My boyfriend and I can't wait to take the rest of her classes and can't recommend her enough.

Booked the class Homemade Donuts and Fillings with Chef Meg in Washington (Bellevue)
I went to Chef Meg's donut making class for Valentines Day with my boyfriend. We had an absolutely lovely experience with Chef Meg (and of course her adorable dog Doug). Her expertise and professional experience was very impressive, but even more so, she is a patient and caring teacher. We had great conversation, and amazing donuts to both snack on there and take home. Highly recommend Chef Meg's class!

My wife and I did the doughnut making class and it was awesome. Chef Meg was a great host and teacher and gave awesome tips on cooking in general as well as specific tips for the doughnut making process. We had a blast and loved the taste and look of the doughnuts. We will definitely be taking another Chef Meg class in the future and trying out the doughnut making at home. Thank you Chef Meg!

My wife and I had an amazing time making donuts with Chef Meg. It was such a comfortable and fun atmosphere yet at the same time we learned a lot from her. The donuts were incredible and you get a lot of them, but will have to display some self control to make sure they make the trip home! Thank you Meg!
