  The class really exceeded our high expectations. The experience was so fun and the food we made was so tasty with written step by step instructions at the end to remind how to do everything including making the delicious welcome cocktail. Our hosts were incredible. So personable and lovely. It was like joining friends for an afternoon of cooking and learning.

  

• French cooking with beautiful people and delicious food

  An elegant and approachable French cooking experience near Dana Point graciously hosted by Ann and Rick. We enjoyed a truly delightful evening as both couples prepared and savored a beautifully crafted meal together. Their home alone is worth the adventure — thoughtfully designed, beautifully appointed, and centered around a well-stocked kitchen that inspires creativity. From the warm welcome at the door to the heartfelt farewell, we felt less like guests and more like family. The instruction was clear, engaging, and informative, making every step enjoyable. Ann’s guidance on creating choux à la crème (cream puff pastry) was wonderfully simple and confidence-building. The best part? The intoxicating aroma that filled the room as everything baked. Well — perhaps the second best. Sharing the finished meal family-style around the table was truly the highlight of the evening. An experience we would gladly repeat

  

  

  

  

• Amazing cooking class in SoCal

  Using the word “phenomenal” isn’t enough. This cooking class was truly the highlight of my vacation. Upon entry greeted with a cocktail and light snacks while conversation naturally flowed. Moving into the kitchen with all ingredients readily prepared and instructions presented & easy to follow. Ann carefully crafted recipes to create an unforgettable meal. Carefully walking us through the process of all elements of the meal. We enjoyed lunch with wine, candles, and an unforgettable experience/meal. 10/10 recommended and can’t wait to go back. A beautiful couple with amazing story’s and unforgettable laughs. We will never forget her husband that is hands down the best at entertaining, interacting, and sous chef lol.

  We had such a great time cooking with Ann and Rick in Dana Point. They kicked things off with delicious cocktails and appetizers, which was the perfect way to ease into the experience and get everyone excited to cook. The French menu was fantastic, and Ann was an amazing teacher — clear, approachable, and fun to learn from. Everyone in our family felt included and genuinely enjoyed the process from start to finish. Rick was a wonderful co-host and helped keep the whole experience fun and laid-back. By the time we sat down to enjoy everything we had cooked together, it felt like one of those special meals you’ll be talking about long after it’s over. This was such a memorable experience and a highlight of our trip — we’d absolutely do it again and couldn’t recommend Ann and Rick more.

• Mesmerizing Experience with Amazing Neighbors

  Ann and Rick are welcoming and delightful hosts. They made this special cooking class (my birthday gift from daughter and sister) an especially wonderful experience. Their genuineness and enthusiasm for this class experience could not be better. Our entire visit was 3-1/2 hours which just FLEW by. The welcoming pitcher of French 75 champagne cocktails was the perfect introduction to a cooking class on January 1st. We proceeded to prepare our joint meal with instructions and supervision from Ann and support from Rick. As you'd expect, the entire meal was devine. Also, because of my birthday, my daughter brought a cake, which we enjoyed after our meal. Our Party of Three was unamimous that we want to book another future lesson with Ann and Rick to share this experience with other friends.

  This was beyond everything we expected and more. It was truly an amazing experience. We were warmly welcomed by Rick and Ann - our hosts. They are such a wonderful couple. In the kitchen we chatted, laughed, learned a lot, prepared and cooked one of the most delicious flavorsome French meals. We sat with our new found friends enjoying the fruits of our labor. We got to take extras and recipes home. My daughter and I would highly recommend. A fantastic gift idea for a foodie or non-foodie alike, a girls night out or for the person or couple who has everything. 10/10.

  I’ve always enjoyed taking cooking classes whenever I get a chance and without a doubt this was the BEST experience ever! Like having an amazing home-cooked, delicious French meal and wine with new friends in their gorgeous, stately Dana Point home. Ann and Rick, the hosts, are so warm and welcoming, interesting and really fun! Hands on experience helping prepare the “WOW” French meal (with take-home recipes). 👩‍🍳🇫🇷🍷🎉 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
