I was invited for a birthday event for a cooking class, we were at least 12 of us and paid $ 125 to make a 3 course meal and we had to byob. I had great time doing something different and learning to cook stuff that I would never make at home.

Took their 4 week course and loved it !! Learned knife skills, pan searing, pan sauces, balancing plus more that you thought you knew but didn’t and the chef explained everything in detail !! Awesome class I would recommend this to everyone !

Came here recently for a «Six Basics Cooking Techniques» class and was so pleased with my experience! I had a minor kitchen fire a year or so ago and was hesitant to ‘get back on the horse’ so to speak. John could not have been a warmer instructor, you would think after 10 years of teaching classes he might have gotten into a monotonous routine but not at all! You can really tell he loves what he does, and is just as excited today about cooking as the day he started.
Our class was interactive and engaging and just the overview I needed to gain some confidence back in the kitchen.
*An important note for some: I was weary about having my own burner/​stovetop and being left to fend for myself, but that wasn’t the case. We all sat family style at a table with John at the head. We each had our own cutting board and aided in the meal prep, then John would intricately detail each step of the cooking process in front of all of us.
The Verdict: a must go for those needing a strong foundation in the kitchen, or just simply those who want to learn a few new tips!

Jen was an excellent instructor, she was very knowledgeable, funny and had overall great energy. She excelled at providing the most welcoming atmosphere for her students. I definitely recommend you try the Food Basics class if you are thinking of getting serious in the kitchen! The classes are small enough to learn a lot and build rapport while having a great time will fellow classmates. Definitely will be coming back for more!

My daughter and I have taken two classes with John — How to Cook Fish and Hand Made Mexican Tacos. I’ve been cooking for 40 years and I am amazed at how much I learned!!! The class size is small — max 10 people — making it a very personal experience. Then we all sit down and eat the food we have just cooked. It was amazing and I strongly recommend these classes to everyone — whether young, old, experienced or novice!

Erica was a wonderful instructor. Thoroughly enjoyed the class, ‘Flavours of the Middle East’.

Jennifer,
I took a class last week (Friday, September 19^th)…with John. Gnocchi class. I never even knew you could make them with ricotta …
I cannot tell you how I loved it. and loved Frank.
His passion for cooking is contagious. He taught us so many tricks in the kitchen.
The gnocchi was fun to make… everything was fun to make.
And then we sat down to eat… Everything was perfect. so delicious.
Just wonderful… John is such an asset to your company.
I’ve told so many people about the class and John.
I will see you guys again.
LOVE, LOVE

(I treated my friend for her birthday to that class too. she felt the same) It was a magical night.
The other participants were such a nice group too.
Thank you so, so much.

I took the 6 basics of cooking class with Jennifer and I found it fun and useful. It gave me the confidence boost I needed to cook more at home. I also love that Jennifer wove in the importance of eating organic and choosing good cookware — it’s the 6 techniques and so much more! I will definitely be going back as I hear they offer a bunch of different courses.
