What You’ll Do

Learn how to make all your favorite bakery treats this summer.

Dive into our exciting cooking series dedicated to recreating beloved classic baked goods. Over five days, kids will get to grips with essential baking skills. From mixing the perfect batters and kneading dough to decorating cakes with creativity, they will have fun learning new baking skills. Not only will they have a great time exploring the magic of baking, but they will also learn about kitchen safety along the way. These summer cooking classes are perfect for any young baker eager to get started in the kitchen.

Classes typically run for two to two and a half hours, unless specified otherwise. Group work is a key component; kids can expect to collaborate with four other students. The class involves standing, cooking and active participation throughout. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and long hair should be securely tied back for safety. Please note that these are drop-off classes. Parents do not stay during the classes.

Chef Gus was personable, helpful, n great at teaching the class. I am a housewife who’s been cooking for 45 years, actually learnt a few new things from Chef Gus that I can apply to my own everyday cooking. I enjoyed my time in the class. The only possible improvement I can offer is with a few supplies items when we have to wait for chef Gus to pass out…those can be placed in a more central location of the space n the students can b instructed to get the supplies themselves, e,g. Water for the bao dough, Saran Wrap to cover dough, as well as take out containers. Thank you!

It wasn’t one of the best food workshops I have attended. Working in groups of 4 on only one station is not appealing especially when you team random people. The food quantity was definitely not enough for 4 people and once we made the food we were told to put it aside and not eat because we were rushed onto the next dish. Finally, I did not feel the chef was accommodating or even trying to be. We asked to split our sauce into half with bacon and half without which would have been super easy to do simply bringing another pan which he claimed to not have while clearly behind us there was a wall full of pots and pans. Nice idea. Not as great of an execution. We won’t be back.

“Baking Fun For The Whole Family” was so much fun with Chef Sofia! Good beginner hands on experience, not too advanced but just right!

Thought it would be more hands on. Most items were pre cut and peeled, mostly we just added the items and mixed them. Class only lasted about 1 hr. 45 min.

Was fantastic, our teens also had a great time, and we learned some valuable tips and tricks. Plus, the dreaded caramel, which I had previously burned on more than one occasion. Our chef was excellent!

The Chef wasn’t Gus, but the woman who did lead the class was great. She was super knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She was also engaging and authoritative, which is always appreciated in an educational environment. Will definitely be taking more classes.

Chef Stevie was amazing. Super knowledgeable, encouraging, and the food turned out really good! We ended up needing to get a midnight snack after, but a lot of other people in the class seemed to have leftovers -- it's a good amount of food, but if you're really hungry, you'll want more.

Not a good experience. I paid for 2 people. The staff only prepared for a serving of 1. One steak for two and we had to share peas, pasta, cheese, etc with another attendee from a different party. 3 people shared for a serving of one! The staff told me that we were supposed to share with another attendee. I told her no, I paid for two people, why are we sharing with different party with a serving of one?! The staff finally but reluctantly gave me my own steak and other food portions along with our own station. The staff didn’t offer any drinks nor water with our service. In addition, the service didn’t offer any chairs to sit down. We stood up for almost 3 hrs! I’m young but my mom is 60 and everyone else in attendance was also older. We had to ask for a chair when we got done cooking. Lastly the chef was also very high strung and you can tell she didn’t want to teach the class. My mom was visiting LA for the first time and it was supposed to be a fun experience. Two stars because the food did taste great and good quality. However I wouldn’t recommend this service. I’ve been to better for less. ?

Overall, the class was really fun! In a way I wish it was a tiny bit more challenging. It felt like we did a few knife cuts, then took a break and then cooked a bit before eating. All in all, I wish it had been a bit more difficult or ""fast"" pace wise. The food we made was really good, except for the pad thai which was disappointing. Also would be super nice to make a dessert!"

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry, and enjoying coconut rice afterwards, in a group of 12. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity

Great class even better instructor. Also fun group of women

Paula

01 Dec 2023

The class was easy to follow, and I feel the recipes will be easy to replicate at home. This class should be 3 hrs long, not 2. The dough didn't have enough time to rise and didn't have enough time to bake. My focaccia bread wound up burning because the instructor was moving on with the class and the bread didn't get out of the oven fast enough.
