5.00We booked this cooking class the night before and attended the 11:30am session. Our host, Haley, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought so much enthusiasm to the experience. She guided us through each step of the cooking process, offering helpful tips along the way and making everything easy to follow. Thanks to her support, we created some amazing dishes and had a genuinely memorable experience. Highly recommend this class—especially if you get Haley as your host!

5.00Best cooking class I’ve ever done. We cooked a lot of dishes, hands on, simple enough to be repeated but also authentic and super super tasty. The recipe book at the end is a great final touch. Wouldn’t have been the same without the amazing instructor Vy!
