WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Scottsdale
03/14/2025
Chef Elena's bread class was fantastic! My daughter and I attended while I was in town visiting for a fun, hands on adventure. Chef Elena did a great job with explaining the details of each process, and the important tips to remember. The class was engaging and very collaborative which allowed everyone to partake in the process of bread making. Most importantly... the bread was amazing and so delicious - yet easy enough for us to feel confident to go home and try baking it ourselves.

Elena did a great job. We learned some tips and the recipes were scrumptious. I would recommend her for future classes.

02/06/2022
We had a fantastic night with Chef Jenn and her Dumpling cooking class. Great conversation, lots of knowledge, fun and a delicious meal at the end of it.
We will be looking at doing another class in the future for sure!
