If you've dreamed of competing in a cooking show, but have never taken your cooking skills out of your home kitchen, join this Iron Chef-style competition in NYC with your friends or family!In this hands-on experience hosted by Chef Ivan, you and your group will be divided into two teams and then will go head to head to see who can cook up the best dish. Each team will be assigned a basket with a main ingredient — pork, chicken, or salmon — and two surprise ingredients that must be used. Teams will have one hour and 30 minutes to prepare and plate their final dishes.

- 5/5 from Donovan Herman, attended May 2025: The Iron Chef Cooking Competition was really fun. The teacher was just the right amount of hands on - they let us do our own thing but were there if we really needed some help. The space was also really great.

- 5/5 from Joanne Deverson, attended Jul 2024: Special Birthday Teacher was polite, professional, friendly and interested in our cooking The venue was adequate, a few ingredients that I would have love to have there but we worked it out. I should have asked for some cooking tips and skills. It was fascinating to learn how to use a spoon to peel ginger. It's not that easy to cook a meal and think of what to cook in 75 minutes It was my first cooking class so I don't have a comparison I like the idsa of competition and team working activities We should have reviewed foods to avoid...otherwise all the food was tasty. We are looking forward to another class. Just have to find our winners voucher
