The class was only one hour long when it said two. She already had the food precooked and just heated it up. She only showed us how to make the crepas with the flour and said she was going to send us the recipe to the food and I never received mine. Very disappointed

Great experience, definitely recommended if you have little to no experience cooking, or skills in cooking, Chef Sharon works with each of the people to get the most out of the experience as possible. 100% recommend, and if I'm looking for something like this again will most likely book this Chef again.

It was a lot of fun, chef Sharon was great! It felt more casual not being in an industrial kitchen but it was cool with a group setting and everyone got to help and try the yummy food at the end!

The class was fun. We had the opportunity to do all of the preparation and cooking steps on our own. I only gave 4 stars because Chef Sharon said that she would send us the photos that she took and has not them yet.

What an excellent experience and exceeded our expectations. Most of the time the chef just prepares it for you but there's nothing like Hands-On, so much more fun.

We had a fantastic time and experience with Chef Sharon. The meal was fun to cook, easy for beginners with room for a challenge. The food was delicious and Sharon was so nice and helpful. She was conscientious of Covid safety measures and we felt comfortable throughout the experience. I highly recommend booking with her and I will likely do so again for our next special occasion.

I gave my fiance this cooking class as a Valentine's gift and I am glad I did. We had a fantastic time! Chef Sharon was incredibly nice and informative, and the kitchen had great views of the city's skyline. The meal was very good and we did not leave hungry. I would highly recommend cooking with Chef Sharon..

Sharon was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Getting to know her was great and the space was beautiful with an amazing view of downtown. Sourcing the ingredients locally and seasonally was a bonus and the food turned out fantastic. All in all a very warm and memorable experience. Looking forward to booking with her again!
