Chef Lee was great and I learned a lot. But two days later I still don’t have the recipes. It would have been helpful to have them at the class so we could take notes.

My friend and I had a great time learning how to make delicious French cuisine! We ended up collaborating with another couple, which actually added to the fun. The chef also sends you a copy of the recipe afterward—perfect for continuing to practice and build on the new skills I learned!

Lee was excellent. I will try to take another class with her. I just wish that we could have had a handout with the recipes. I wanted to take notes and I am more visual than auditory.

The class was fun and Lee was a great teacher. I left feeling like I could make these breads at home! Two things caused me to rate this 4 stars instead of 5: Today is 3 days after the class and I still haven't received recipes from the things we made. I actually would've come home and tried to make the breads on my own that afternoon. The second thing was, our family attended as a group of 5 which was a lot to try to give everyone a chance to be involved. The class assistant was working next to us making the breads on her own. It would've been great if she had pulled a couple of us over to work with her.

The class was good, except I didn’t receive the cooking instructions or the 15% store discount since I registered via Cozymeal.

I was a bit disappointed that Chef Nick was not the chef instructing this class. I didn’t realize the class said “or Resident Chef”, so that is just something to be aware of. Overall, class went smoothly. Making pasta from scratch was fun and the pasta dish turned out well. The salad and the dessert, however, were underwhelming and I would not make them again. I felt like explanations were lacking during the class. It was quite loud and difficult to hear the instructor, so I dont feel like I learned much. I also have not received a copy of the recipes. Last time I took a class at Sur La Table I received the recipes the same evening of the class.

Fantastic class - I learned a ton about working with laminated doughs. I've tried a couple times in the past, and always had a sticky, tacky mess on my hands. This class taught me tricks and tips, how to work the dough more effectively, what to watch out for. I just pulled a batch of croissants out of the oven, and they are everything I could have ever hoped for, and more. I need to keep a laminated dough on hand at all times now! :D Loved the class, great teacher, very helpful and informative - can't wait to take more classes!

We did the pasta making class with Chef Nick! He was extremely knowledgeable, demonstrated everything clearly and helped us make the best food. It was such a fun class. We got to make two pastas and 3 sauces. It was such a great date night. Highly highly recommend. Novice to experienced cooks would enjoy this!

Our team had a wonderful experience. The food selection, level of difficulty and straightforward instructions were exactly what we needed. We appreciated the space to learn and grow together as a team and Chef Nick's teaching method and personality were the icing on the cake.... and also the olive oil ice cream... which was amazing.
