While my group had a good time together, this class could have been much better. The "chef" really ruined what could have been a great experience. The chef never introduce himself, he never introduced the menu, he never introduced a random woman sitting in the corner of the room - who happened to be the dishwasher/helper. The "chef" threw food onto our cutting boards and told us to chop things up. He never offered tips on how to chop, never explained how much we would be using in the recipes, etc... Overall, I would say this was a disappointment. This class could really be fun - but needs a more lively and engaging chef.

Saher was amazing! We had such a great time with him. He was entertaining, engaging, and skilled. Great job.

We enjoyed this class very much. It was less hands-on than we expected, but I understand now that 2 hours isn't enough time to make all three doughs, let them rise, and still bake them. Chef Sarah did demo the process though, so we got a chance to see yeast being bloomed and mixed in. We are definitely planning to check out more of these classes. Thank you!

The time frame was slightly rushed and unorganized. I thought the class was "OK." I think I might have enjoyed it more if I had come with a friend so we'd be at the same work station to have more fun.

Wonderful experience making different types of pasta and a salad with friends. This class had a lot of people but we each had our own workstation and learned a lot. Time flew by. Will definitely come back to do another class!

The chef was great and gave great tips. I wish we were able to mark our own work so we received what we cooked. I know it’s the same recipe, but the results were different. Each team table should be numbered and then the pans numbered accordingly.

The experience was excellent and the chef was very friendly and kept us engaged. However, the Nashville chicken was a bit bland and took a very long time to cook. The salad had little taste, however, chef did explain why. The homemade biscuits and ice cream were amazing. I would come again but maybe try a new dish.

I gave this cookie making/decorating class to Ben, my eight year old grandson, as a birthday gift. Ben started out shy, but in no time, Chef Morgan had him fully engaged and gave him the confidence he needed to work through every step of the recipes. She was there when she needed to be, stepped back when she felt he "got it" and cheered him along throughout the morning. Ben couldn't wait to tell his twin brother and parents about his morning's activities and show off his cookies when he got back home! I highly recommend this class and I thank Chef Morgan for making the day a special one for Ben!

I was expecting a more hands on experience cooking each of the dishes. With the cost of a two hour class, was looking for more active learning on proper cutting technics etc. One of the dishes had fried shrimp after being in the oil for a short period the batter was pail and shrimp did not look to be fully cooked. I was expecting a good practice of checking temps would also be incorporated. When I asked the chef what temp the shrimp should reach they stated 165. The proper internal temp for seafood is actually 145, we choose just not to eat the shrimp. The gumbo I thought was going to be more authentic with an andouille sausage, however the flavor profile was more of ring bologna. Was our first cooking class and was a pricey disappointment.

Overall it was a great experience! I went because it was a Christmas gift experience I got for my friend, Kelly. I would have liked to put together the salad as well. The Steak had cooled off considerably after our little break, so I was a bit disappointed in that. But overall it was such a new experience for me! I learned a new way to place the steak into the pan..(more safely!) without oil splash back. And to let it sit in the pan for that good sear for the first 5-6 minutes. I do (I would say about 90%) of the cooking at home, so I felt comfortable being there and learning from the Chef. And it taught me that I really needed to get a few more efficient cooking utensils. Thank you so much for making it a fun time! I know my friend also enjoyed her time there too!

Explanations were poor, and I didn’t feel like she enjoyed what she was doing

Marla

06 Jan 2024

This was my first class I was under the impression that I would learn more than I did. I feel we should have been making all the different parts of the dishes. We did not know how the sorbet was made, or even the rice noodles. I feel we didn't even understand how to roll the fresh rolls with poached shrimp. We did not get hints on how to roll it up. Like get the cutting board wet before we put the rice paper wrappers down to roll up the ingredients. I was very disappointed.

Ellie

06 Jan 2024

I loved the class. Maybe a few tweaks needed but all in all I would do it again. I'm not a chef but I learned some new skills that I'll take with me. I'd take a class again.
