- 5/5 from Tyra Demateis, attended Nov 2024: Loved this class. I recently moved here from California where I had the opportunity over the years to take many cooking classes. Craig Clairborne, Michael McCarty and Wolfgang Puck and many celebrity chefs were available due to the location. I've also taken classes in Japan and Paris. This season on Korean cooking was first class. The teacher was so knowledgeable and the way the class was organized was excellent. I was impressed by the young people who worked during the lesson making sure that everything was perfect. I am so happy to have discovered The Kitchen Engine. I had no idea of what to expect but if this class is representative of what your store offers then I will be signing up for many more.
