Wonderful experience! Cheg Legina is so encouraging and makes sure to walk you through everything. We even stopped to talk about rice preparation and she and her sous chef wanted to understand step by step what the participants were doing so they knew how to correct and inform us on how to properly cook rice. I will definitely be returning.

I enjoyed the class and the chefs. I think if it’s advertised as a 2 hr class it should be closer to the time. I would have enjoyed some wasabi and sesame seeds with the inside out roll. Overall we had fun and would try another class.

Legina and her sous chef were both great! We had a positive experience. The rolls we made were delicious and we felt confident we could make them at home by ourselves after the class. They were both extremely engaging and present. I highly recommend the class and specifically chef Legina. Thank you for a great experience!

Both of the chefs were absolutely amazing! This was honestly one of the best date nights that I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend taking a class for one. I definitely plan on taking more classes. They made the experience extremely easy and the entire class had an amazing time.

Loved this class, so much fun and I learned how easy sushi can be!

I really enjoyed the food and how intimate the class was! I wish there was more opportunity to be hands on with the food. Most of the time it felt like a cooking show rather than a class. I loved the teachers though and their personalities shined!

Enjoyed the evening! Easy interaction, answering all questions and casually speaking with attendants. Good tips provided and allowed attendants to participate as much or as little as desired. I would recommend for something different to do on a date night or if you're into cooking - or want to get into cooking. Chef Legina and her assistant were very personable. Only suggestion would be to have copies of the recipes available to each attendant (handed out at the beginning of the class.

We really enjoyed ourselves for this class! We made it a date night and we learned a lot.

The class was very unorganized and felt like a ripoff. Although the chef and her sous were nice, we sat around waiting almost an hour before actually starting, and most of the ingredients and materials needed were not prepared beforehand for simple ingredients and only enough for two small rolls per person.

We really enjoyed this class! Never having done this before now, my husband I weren't sure what to expect so were pleasantly surprised at the relaxed, conversational, and clear way this class was instructed. The atmosphere at Rockwell Brewing Company was perfect to share directions on the food prep and then enjoy the results. The mango salsa was the BEST I have ever tasted and I look forward to getting the recipe to try to duplicate it at home. Hope to do this again soon and bring friends along to enjoy as well!

We had the best time making pasta as a group! It was easy to do, fun and we learned a lot about how to do this ourselves. I would highly recommend to any type of groups interested in learning how to make pasta or just want to do a fun activity.

What a wonderful class and evening with Chef Legina! Her and her team were knowledgeable and so engaging with the group and we all had such a great time. If you are looking for a team building activity with a twist, this is it! We cant wait for our next team event to get back together with Chef! Thank you!!

What a welcoming, informative, and entertaining chef! Went for a date night to her sushi making class and we were not only left full and happy from the rolls of sushi we were fed, but excited to take her teachings into our kitchen. Five stars, recommend highly. Her and her su chef are awesome!

Chef Legina was extremely kind when we called on our way to class and told her we could not make it due to an emergency. She was agreeable to us switching to another class. However I have been trying to contact classpop for almost 3 weeks now, several emails, calls and social media messages with no response. I would love to be able to take this class soon but it seems like classpop has no interest in customer service. I hope someone will contact me back soon.

Awesome! Very interactive with the class. And delicious food!

Fun and knowledgeable chefs who made a tasty taco. Chefs were very nice and approachable. The class was more more a demo than a hands on cooking class, was hard to hear or see in the venue. The $55 dollar cost for a demo and 1 taco seemed a bit steep. A better set up or at least enough food for the group to have really enjoyed a couple tacos would have improved the experience. I think as they work out the tweeks it will improve, there is a a lot of potential.

Had a great time. Loved the venue( Bluewood Brewing). Chef Legina and her sous chef did a great job with the equipment they had. Looking forward to another class.

I absolutely loved how informative the class was. The Sushi was delicious. I learned so much about the seasoning and where to purchase ingredients. I felt so empowered and I’m not even into cooking “complex” meals. Chef Legina made it easy to understand. Her other chef was very patient and hands-on. I loved it and will be taking more classes.

This class does not have any dates.
