WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Chicago
01/23/2025
I thoroughly enjoyed this class!
01/20/2025
Chef Janet came out to our house for the evening and showed my partner and I how to make Sushi Rolls. She came with everything necessary for the event, the only thing we provided was a table to work at, an outlet for a rice cooker, and an eager spirit to learn. She was an excellent, patient teacher. We would definitely book her again in the future.
