Recent reviews of Cinco De Mayo Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Stella Nelson, attended May 2026: Chef Jenn is an awesome instructor! The Cinco de Mayo class was a blast! Not only did we learn a lot, but Chef Jenn’s sense of humor, in addition to her knowledge and expertise, made the experience even more enjoyable. The fact that all the ingredients were ready to go was a nice touch, and she was always available to lend a hand or answer questions. And let's not forget the delicious tres leches dessert!
  • 5/5 from Stacy Sinclair, attended May 2026: Great way to start celebrating my birthday -- the chef was warm and welcoming, getting me involved right away. She was patient with all of us and I learned a few tips and tricks that I'm sure to use at home.
