Me and my wife are from Illinois , we where staying in north redington beach , my wife was down here for a work conference, we decided to do this for entertainment purposes and it was amazing!!! I think it was about 12 people total everyone talked with each other getting ready for the class .. chef Julian & his wife Danielle were awesome!! We had such a great time and the dumplings were delicious. Thank you for the excellent experience & entertainment. We are planning on taking this experience and doing it in our home with friends & family

We took the Indian Delights cooking class with Chef Julian and Chef Ryan and absolutely loved it. I learned lots of great tips and the class was fun, interactive and very well thought out in terms of flow and timing. It would be a fun activity as a date night, with friends or solo. I look forward to going back for more classes and am excited to have this great new addition in the neighborhood!

My daughter and I took a Korean cooking class. We had a fantastic time. The chefs were patient, helpful and explained the process well- even helped with knife skills. It was relaxed, fun and so enjoyable. We plan to go back and take another class. I would highly recommend taking a cooking class!

I have been looking for a fun local cooking class. This is it! Last night was an Indian feast. Buttter chicken, saag paneer, samosas, naan and chai custard. The evening was very interactive and fun! I also learned a lot, had a great meal and ended up with extra to take home. Great space and two friendly chefs made for a fun night
