Host Maij was amazing, very educational, engaging and lots of fun! Would recommend for wine newbies.

Gina Hansen • May 2023

The venue was terrific at The Even Hotel, Midtown. It was adjacent to a rooftop patio and there was happy hour at the bar and you could bring your beer or wine to your table. Yellow CocuSocial aprons were provided to you and the instructor, Carolyn Montgomery and her sidekick, Milo, were sensational! She provided step by step instructions and came around to each table to observe we understood. She + more

Cooking Class: Steamed Bao Buns

The teacher was very knowledgeable and clear with her instructions. The venue was a nice hotel with booth/table setup and the materials were easy to use (bamboo in a ziplock, a cutting board and a knife). The class was fun, but I think it was a bit expensive for the amount of fish that was provided (it was a very thin sliver of tuna and maybe a 1" by 1" piece of salmon). I've also never used bell + more

Stephanie Sorage • May 2023

Our teacher was fantastic, and the venue seemed very well equipped for the class. The teacher was professional and seemed very experienced and made sure to provide guidance on the dos and don'ts for each step. Overall, I thought the class was great and the bao buns were delicious! 10/10

Valencia Morgan • May 2023

The teacher was absolutely hilarious and very informative- the class was two hours which I thought at first was fairly long but our Time was filled with laughs and our stomachs were full of sushi. Would definitely recommend.

Paella Cooking Class

Chef Jerry was an excellent balance between entertaining and instructive. The best part was where, unlike other cooking classes I’ve done, I didn’t have to cook in a group with a bunch of strangers. Instead, my wife and I got our own station which really made the experience much more personal and engaging.

Michael Fesselmeyer • Mar 2023

Teacher and his Sous-Chef were both amazing. Very helpful, very knowledgeable, and most importantly a ton of fun! Plus we honestly got a full meal worth of sushi out of it which was worth the cost alone. 10/10 definitely recommend, makes a great date also.

Crystal Tran • Mar 2023

it was really fun! the instructor was nice and helpful but was more the type to give instruction and leave, which some people may like but i personally would’ve enjoyed more interaction. there also wasn’t a lot of counter space per party so it made working a little tough, but all materials were included, instructions were simple enough, and the end product was delicious!

Garret Andreine • Mar 2023

The Teacher was awesome! Super knowledgeable of the dumpling-making process and very patient. Had a great time learning, doing, and eating! Well worth the money!

The teacher was so nice and helpful. The location was clean and easy to find. The price for the class was good. My favorite part of the class was making the dough and wrapping the dumplings.

Caitlin Moran • Mar 2023

Our teacher was awesome. He explained instructions verbally then demonstrated visually which was incredibly helpful. He came by during each step to make sure we felt comfortable and were on the right track / checking to see if we needed any help.

Devin Kasparian • Feb 2023

Our teacher, Carolyn, was AMAZING. Hilarious, intelligent and informative, personal and sweet, and you can tell she knows exactly what shed’s doing. An expert on the subjects of cheese! And seemingly many other things. I wish to take another class with her!

Teacher was funny, kind and knowledgeable! Directions were clear and easy to follow. Venue was cozy but large enough for everyone to enjoy their own space with their guest. Teacher and her assistant created a wonderful environment!

Cooking Class: Steamed Bao Buns

Nice evening out, but the end result was just ok. The bao was very heavy and not very authentic. The instructor was pleasant enough but we were disappointed that every table got the same amount of food to work with — whether you were just one person, or if you were a couple like us. Most of the couples could only have one person working at a time while the other person watched.

Joanna Mendez • Jan 2023

Chef was insightful and really made an effort to engage the crowd! Would recommend 5/5

Bonnie Wellington • Jan 2023

Food was delicious, the chef was really nice and explained everything well. It was also very fun to make.

Nancy Kito • Jan 2023

The class was great! The instructor explained things clearly and it was the right amount of demonstration to actual hands-on. The teacher was also very knowledgeable, friendly and obviously loved teaching, you could ask any questions. The venue was great, very clean, and the demonstration area was very separate from the actual working bar. Overall a great experience. Would definitely take another course!

Tyler Johnston • Jan 2023

Instructor was friendly and helpful. A fun experience, but definitely not as much hands on instruction as we were hoping for. I think if you don't have much basic cooking knowledge, you might have difficulty replicating what we made in class on your own.

Cynthia Koeneman • Jan 2023

Italian Cooking at Home: Date Night

We learned how to make maki, California roll, gunkanmaki and a hand roll. We were supplied with all the tools, produce and fish needed to make our sushi. Leenah demonstrated how to make the sushi rice, provided the recipe and she clearly demonstrated all the different rolls. While we attempted to make our own rolls, she walked around and provided feedback or answered your questions. At the end of the class, she provided plenty of time for us to ask questions, where to buy quality fish, how to store it, etc. We had a great time and made more sushi + more

Arthur Zimmerman • Jan 2023

The teacher is fun and clearly very knowledgeable. The class was interesting but it is a little slow paced for people who are comfortable in the kitchen. Honestly, it could have been done in just an hour. Still waiting on the recipes though. That being said it was a fun family activities and would recommend to anyone this class. We’re thinking of signing up for the pasta class.

Jenny Lee • Dec 2022

It was a easy to follow class. I think the organization and having another assistant would help. I think making the tortillas were the longest procedure yet and I wished there was more explanation on what to expect. However, it is an enjoyable class and enough materials were given.
