Chef Erica was an awesome teacher and explained everything extremely well. We learned quite a few good cooking techniques while making the macarons. We were a little disappointed in how little of the process we actually got to do however. We mixed the ingredients to make macarons and piped them on to the tray only to be thrown away and replaced with premade shells. Then we watched a demonstration on how to make ice cream but never did a single step. Finally we took the premade shells and premade ice cream and combined them to make the sandwiches. Overall it was a good walk through of the process, but for the price I expected to be more hands on in the class.

My friend and I had the most amazing experience with Chef Erica! As a newbie cook and HUGE fan of British Bake Off and other cooking/food shows, this was exciting to do. Chef Erica was not only welcoming but made the experience of cooking step so much fun. You can tell she loves what she does and you can feel it as she explains the steps. I will definitely be back!

Erica was a fantastic teacher. She taught a lot about proper usage of knives and other tips and tricks like keeping a wet cloth under a plastic cutting board so it doesn’t move. She was also very funny, lively and took a genuine interest in your experience. I would definitely sign up for another class of hers!

Chef Erica was able to spend 1 on 1 time with us and help us learn a better technique. I enjoyed the set up and the meals. Only thing I would change is a bit more time to prepare the foods. Overall great experience, hope to do it again soon.

Erica was knowledgeable, friendly and shared great tips. Everybody got to take a turn at the main station to try out techniques under guidance. Now fancy French crepes seem within reach of an average home cook.
