Reviews for Cooking Classes in Atlanta

  • There was a lot of one on one attention in teaching the techniques an the instructor was very interactive in her approach.
  • Class was great the Instructor was very Knowledgeable.
  • Online Cooking: Knife Skills 101

    I was great and Chrs did a good job....because i did not get the info and had only some items, I would suggest you send info out sooner rather than later....so everyone could be prepared. Generally I would of had most of the things but had been on vacation and not replenished...That way if people don't get the info they an let you know sooner too. Only other suggestion, would be to have a knife skills class where you just cut items and not cook...takes a lot of time and i wanted more learning on how to cut items and didn't realize I was making edible foods....Not a complain a suggestion. Maybe course should be listed as Knife Skills and Easy or Simple Cooking 101 Loved the recipes too. Janet
  • Online Cooking: Italian Ravioli Two Ways

    It was a great class. Questions were welcomed at any point during the class. I did buy all the ingredients that were required in the recipe to make the two fillings. I had bought way to much of the different cheeses because we did not follow the recipe. I wish this was explained that were we were not making the full amount of fillings. The raviloi turned out great and tasted amazing. It was a wonderful experience and the chef was wonderful and very personable. Thank you!
