Chef Janet was very informative. She kept the class moving, which became a bit fast for me, as I was not paired up with a partner (odd number students). She was generous with ingredients and the encouragement to make the rolls to our own liking. I did not realize before the class that she had lived for a while in Hong Kong -- personal and geographical expertise!!

Chef Janet was great, and it was a really fun time! I wish it had been a little more hands on for all aspects of the cooking, but without a kitchen it was still very interactive and fun!

Janet is amazing! She took the time to teach us how to make the dough and showed us how she would prep everything. It was a fun experience for sure and she helped us really see how to make pasta. She gave plenty of recommendations and more!

Chef Janet ran a great class. I felt bad that she didn't have the best set up being in a brewery and not a kitchen, but she made it work! My boyfriend and I had a great time! Thanks Chef Janet :)

It was a fun event. Well prepared for the class. Very attentive and helpful. It was very satisfying to eat our fresh pasta with a delicious sauce. We also liked the location at the brewery.

Class was fun, Janet was great and answered all questions. Location wasn’t very ideal as we were placed in the bar area at small high top tables with another couple and it was hard to make sushi with so little space. Would do another class again!

Whilst I am sure Chef Janet is a wonderful person, this class fell short in too many ways to warrant anything more than one star. Indeed, a refund would be more appropriate. The equipment was lacking (not enough bowls, blunt knives) and the quality of the ingredients was poor (rotten mangos and avocados which I understand happens with fresh ingredients, but she was reluctant to swap them out). Worst of all was that she washed the sushi rice in the bar toilets! I couldn’t believe this and we couldn’t eat anymore of the sushi rice or food. Hygiene should be a basic standard, and in no world would it ever be appropriate to wash food for human consumption in a public restroom. The toilets were not the cleanest, and there were cockroach traps in there too so this was far beyond appropriate. I was appalled and this is just unforgivable. I have no idea why she did that when the bar had water for humans and I am sure would have provided it. We didn’t learn anything from the class as we couldn’t see her well from the table available to us, further she would begin one thing and then not follow up with instruction. She did mention that she wasn’t scheduled to teach the class but honestly, she shouldn’t have taught a class she wasn’t comfortable with. Please can someone get in touch with me on this review?

I recently took Janet Cobb's wonderful cooking class. We made Sushi and California rolls. Janet is such a good teacher and made the experience so enjoyable! She had all the equipment ready at our places and walked us through the process step by step. We learned how to prep the fillings and roll each piece. I felt so accomplished when I finished. And it tasted great!

Pot stickers are way too delicious and complicated for me to ever make, right? Wrong. Janet stepped us patiently through the process of blending ground meats, chopping vegetables and mixing in seasoning. Just doing that much took the mystery out of pot stickers, but Janet even taught us how to make the dough covering part. She had also provided store-bought frozen shells, but I soon found that the dough I had was heartier. When we tasted our finished creations, I was shocked by how well we had done. Janet provided an excellent recipe and made learning it fun. She helped us feel successful. I had a great time.
