Recent reviews of Puerto Rican Classics Cooking Class
- 4/5 from Julia Huang, attended Oct 2026: jerry was great! we made empanadas and mofongo! it was as simple as 1/2/3 with him. he was telling the history of the food while making it and i love learning about the culture
- 5/5 from Jean Pierce, attended Jun 2026: I had given a Christmas gift of a cooking class to my sons & myself to the Puerto Rican Classics experience and it was great fun! I highly recommend this class for individuals, couples or groups. Chef Jerry made cooking so interesting.
- 5/5 from Kathryn Sanchez, attended Apr 2026: Gerry & his sou-chef were so great. Attentive, polite, and full of personality. The class was easy to follow and the mofongo & empanadas were delicious. My sisters & I had a great time.
- 3/5 from Xiomara Castro, attended Oct 2025: The class itself was good however our. Chef was 2 hours late which was very inconvenient not sure if ill book a class again.
- 3/5 from Lina Cortes, attended Jul 2024: The class started 35 mins late. Things were not set up and the staff was clearly not prepared. There was no introduction from the teacher (didn’t give us an official welcome, mention his name, background etc), or an explanation of the food we where going to cook. Everything moved at a very slow pace and there was a lot of shuffling around on the teachers end. Other than that, food was ok.
