Very basic class, could have shown more cutting techniques. The classroom was very noisy because they were washing dishes throughout the class. I was expecting a lot more.

This is not the chef we had,though the chef we had at Sur La table was great. There was very little information shared with me about where we were actually going like the fact we were going to Siur La Table. I could’ve booked that on my own. I was expecting a better experience for my team and while our chef was great, they were preparing for the class after us from the minute we walked in and it was incredibly distracting and noisy. Probably would not book with you again. My mistake.

Everyone was friendly (class mates and lead chief) it’s the reason for 2 stars instead of 1. The class was large though and we all had to share everything. For example, there were 16 of us and only 8 cutting boards, 3 working burners and only 8 steaks. The whole meal was split into 2 groups so technically it was a communal meal prep and we all shared the food at the end. All of the ingredients were separated into two groups and we all had to share in preparing everything. The chief read the instructions/recipes aloud, and we all occasionally got to prepare some of the food since again, there were 8 of us (in my group) to prepare the 1 meal. When I signed up to pay $100 for this cooking class, I don’t recall reading anything that said I would be working with others to prepare the dishes. In fact, I signed up for this specific class because it mentioned I could attend it solo instead of others stating it was for couples or pairs. So having to eat after other people wasn’t what I was expecting and definitely not what I wanted to do. I left the event grateful for having been placed into a group of lovely ladies, but again I was initially under the impression I would have my own cooking station to prepare my own meal from start to finish and that I would learn something new about either cooking or tips on kitchen etiquette and I left with nothing new and still hungry. Based on this experience I can’t recommend this experience.

I liked the demonstration and directions were given. I would have liked to have been able to review the recipes as we were cooking. We needed more kitchen utensils, so everyone at our table could complete their tasks. Example, there was only one rolling pin for six people. The class was rushed because there was another class after our group and we had to eat really fast. I burned my tongue. These are minor things that can be changed. Overall, I had a wonderful time. Never would have thought that I could make Dim Sum. My group was fun and encouraging. Chef was a little feisty, knowledgeable, and fun.

We had the resident chef. I wish it was more hands on and a smaller group. She was a great teacher and we had a nice evening. The mirror above the chef's counter was a an awesome idea that should be used more. The camera above the stove was a smart addition. I wish we all could make our own meal then have somewhere to sit and enjoy the meal rather than standing and being rushed to eat. You could tell the staff was rushed towards the end and trying to get out of there for the night. The food was delicious. I would try a different cooking class before going back to this one. Overall I was not impressed. It would also be nice to know that open toed shoes are not allowed ahead of time. We were not allowed to use knives because we were wearing sandles.

Chef omei was not there for our class. A substitute chef was their instead. He didn't know the menu at all and was unprepared and scattered. Right to the very end he had no idea the steps or recipes. Couldn't multi task but the Participants really were good with food and we had fun figuring out the actual ingredients and steps. Chef was nice but for the price and the way this is advertised it was a little bit of a disappointment. The participants were awesome and we made it fun anyways.
