Anja Lee hosts all the classes on Zoom and I had a blast! Anja regularly hosts cooking classes a couple times a week. We made carnitas/chicken, mushroom tacos and spicy margaritas and they were delicious. Anja provided us with the ingredient list and directions ahead of time. It was easy to shop for the ingredients and it was easy to hop onto Zoom. The directions she provided was also very easy to follow. I also loved her personality, she was so friendly and outgoing!

The food was very homey, and I mean it in a good way. Prepping/cooking runs for ~2 hours and we ate for the 3rd hour. Food was delicious and healthy. Also prices are half what Le Cordon Bleu charges and she graduated from there. So it's like taking a Le Cordon Bleu, but paying half the amount. When it comes to food, I've been told that I have high standards and I say it's good. I'm going to see if I can attend her Brazilian and French classes. Highly recommend!

I wanted to fill my days with some fun activities during the days my husband was away at the conference. I found Ayako's cooking class and knew it would be something fun and different from anything I have back home. Ayako was incredibly nice and inviting! She offered me slippers, an apron, and printed copies of the recipes we prepared. We cooked together and chatted along the way about different things to do in the city and food, of course. I learned some simple techniques for cutting vegetables I hadn't known before and I cook quite frequently at home. The food, conversation, and atmosphere could be beat! I would love to attend another one of Ayako's classes when I return to the city.

This was everything I could have asked for in a cooking class…read more The Mama Thai experience was a birthday present from my family for the four of us to do together. I have a decent amount of Thai cooking experience, while the rest of my family had none. Still, we all learned quite a bit, and had fun doing it! Jirayu has a beautiful home, and we immediately felt welcome and at ease. She's been doing this for more than 20 years. She and her daughter Saorise had stations set up for us, each with their own propane burner, tools, wok, and ingredients. We chose to make green papaya salad, red curry fried rice, and green curry eggplant with bamboo and rice noodles. After settling in, we started on the first of our dishes. We worked at a good pace, and Jirayu kept an eye on how we were doing, providing feedback where necessary. We made and ate each dish one at a time. It is an understatement to say that they turned out absolutely delicious! By the end of the first dish, we knew that we wanted to come back and do a few more menu items. Through each menu item, Jirayu talked about the brands she uses that have a more authentic Thai flavor. We talked about coconut milk, fish sauce, bamboo shoots, and palm sugar to name a few, and surprisingly some of the best brands were not Thai! She has also done her research on more healthy cooking, finding ways to omit MSG and unnecessary additives, and to make recipes more vegetarian-friendly. She herself is a pescatarian like me! One really neat trick that we learned is to use a juicer to make curry paste from scratch! If you've ever tried to make curry paste, it can be a long process with a mortar and pestle. I've take around 45 minutes to do it myself, and it makes for sore arm and hand muscles, for sure. For green curry paste, we spent probably five minutes using the juicer technique, and the results were amazing! We had plenty of extras to take home. Jirayu was also very generous with her time and answered so many of our questions. We even got to play with her dog, Ziggy!

Not only was her cooking class engaging, but she was knowledgeable, friendly, well prepared, had an awesome Chef's kitchen, and cleanliness was as important to her as it was to us. We came here for an off-site to do some team building like cooking. This is not my first cooking class, nor will it be my last, but this is definitely the best cooking class I've ever taken. And I've taken them all. I've taken Italian food cooking classes, dessert cooking classes, and your good old-fashioned American Cooking Class, but this one blew me away. I'm not going to lie, we had a busy group that had to take business calls and work inbetween cooking, and Jirayu took it all in stride. She even had a sense of humor saying we were the only group should have ordered three entrees without any dessert or appetizers LOL. Our first dish was spicy crab which was prepared fresh by us, but was chopped up and cleaned by her. Our next dish was the pad thai. Our third dish was chicken Pumpkin Curry. We were broken out in two teams of two, and each team would prepare its own meal. Not to brag or anything but we had the best Pad Thai, even the instructor said that. I also liked how the instructor accommodated a vegetarian in our class, and was able to accommodate people who liked Spicy Thai food on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being wild and 10 being flaming hot. For those who wanted flaming hot our instructor was nice enough to take out some Chili's to make the dish extra extra spicy. She told us she does this as her full-time job, and I support her 100%. She's an awesome cook and a great instructor. Take her class you won't regret it!

Thanks again for all you do Cat.

A lot of people were here as pairs (actually everyone in our group was a couple) so I'd recommend signing up with a partner or friend. I'm not a pizza expert but the pizza produced here I could compare to your gourmet pizza fare it's not going to be Dominos or Pizza My Heart type of pizza. The rustic crust reminds me of something I would order at Pizzeria Delfina. The fact that Chef Cat taught us how to make this amazing crust at home made my boyfriend and I question why we have been spending so much buying pizza at restaurants when we can make a delicious crust at home! Mind you sourdough crust does have a lot of prep/waiting involved and you have to feed/take care of your starter like a pet. In this class you will go through all the steps to make a beautiful sourdough crust pizza from dough creation to a finished pizza product that you can eat at the end. You will go through all the techniques and skills to mold a delicious pizza. We were provided with an appetizer of olives, a fresh cara cara orange salad, and we each made and topped our own pizzas (lots of fun ingredients to choose from like broccolini and goat cheese). I have to say this was one of the best doughs I've ever tasted. I'm the kind of person who needs to dip my crust in marinara sauce to eat it, but I could eat this chewy tangy crust by itself. We got to take home extra dough and starter to continue our pizza making at home!

While I love to cook, I've lacked comfort in the kitchen and scrambled to time properly. I feel much more comfortable cooking and familiarizing myself with new ingredients. You get three sessions you pay for plus cost of groceries, which Sara kindly gets for you & checks whether you have certain things. Session 1: Sara went through our kitchen to give tips on key pieces of cookware that might be missing. We put together two meals for our next two sessions. Session 2: The menu was puttanesca pasta, seared scallops, salad, and berry cobbler. The meal was amazing!!! Before our 3rd session, I made the puttanesca twice from memory. My dad and boyfriend were blown away even though the recipe was super simple. I brought leftover cobbler to work, and my coworkers were convinced it was the best thing ever and also soo easy to make. Session 3: We made seared steak with pan sauce, crispy potatoes, and oven broccoli. Super easy meal I could whip together, and I learned to use new equipment like a cast iron skillet and how important a baking sheet is (not the same as a glass dish). Sara is so easy going and great to work with. Looking forward to future sessions to come!

Sara did a great job of being realistic based on what would work for us as well as what we could add that would give us the biggest bang for the buck. She did exactly the same with the cooking instructions. She was great at giving us a lot of basic information and small tips that made me much more comfortable being able to experiment. Sara is incredibly comfortable in the kitchen and she has a memory like a steel trap. I would highly recommend.
