Recent reviews of 8 Week Cooking Course
- 5/5 from Cindy Kerber, attended Sep 2026: I am so glad I stopped just thinking about taking a class at L.A. Cooking School, and actually did it. I’m not terribly confident in the kitchen, but I think after 8 weeks with Chef Jen (and Dani, Stephanie and John), I’m much further along. Chef Jen was our incredibly knowledgeable and passionate instructor, leading us from knife skills to steak, with pasta, soup, chicken, fish, veg and salads in between. I look forward to my next series of classes at LACS.
- 5/5 from Clarence Warren, attended Sep 2026: This class has given me the tools to be a better cook and to cook things I hesitated to try before. The hands on approach really helped.
- 5/5 from Julián Cienfuegos, attended Feb 2026: In general, the recipes were easy enough although some were a little complicated. I enjoyed meeting new people.
- 5/5 from Stella Nelson, attended Feb 2026: The 8-week level 1 cooking class was truly exceptional! Chef Jen's patience, knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm created a unique blend of fun and learning. The recipes were not only delicious, but also easy to follow, and I appreciated Chef Jen's suggestions for substitute ingredients, making it simple to recreate the dishes at home. I highly recommend this course! I'm definitely going to look into the level 2 class, as well as the various one-day classes, and hope I can make them work with my schedule.
- 4/5 from Danielle Lion, attended Feb 2026: I enjoyed the cooking class overall, but I think a smaller group environment would have made it easier to learn and get more hands-on guidance. At times the chef seemed spread thin because of the class size. It also would have been helpful if the recipes provided were fully accurate and could be followed without needing changes during the class.
