WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in NYC

Class was fun and informative
02/09/2025
Chef Liz knows how to bake rustic breads but a 2-hour class was too much too fast: TWO prepared dough to make TWO different recipe breads. *For $99 we EACH should get dough\loaf that others didn't handle barehand) *Students didn't get 9page recipe before class - CozyMeal emailed it asap I asked *Liz didn't say ANY units of ANY ingredients (eg "add the TEASPOON of salt" vs "add the provided salt) *Helpers behind Liz were distracting. *Premises pleasant, clean, good transit.

My partner and I attended a cooking class for our anniversary and were a bit nervous as to what to expect. But Chef Paige is the perfect person for this activity. She is full of enthusiasm for cooking, is super knowledgeable, and is so much fun to be around that all of the nerves quickly disappeared. I could not imagine a better first-time cooking experience. For anyone deciding between cooking classes, especially if it's your first class, I highly recommend Chef Paige.

Had a great experience at Jamie's Mediterranean class. She was heavy on educating us on what we were using, why, and always had an alternative we could explore. Healthy amount of challenge to try flavors we were previously adverse to. And she's extremely entertaining! The lemon olive oil cake was the star of the show.
