We arranged Chef Danushka in Austin, TX through Cozymeal. We had a great cooking class and really…read moreenjoyed our time with the chef. Chef Danushka is a character and really made the experience fun. Her classes are offered at her house which has a great kitchen and entertaining space. We did a southwestern grill menu. We all got to participate in the making of the meal with different tasks - cutting up veggies, making guacamole and elote corn, grilling the meat, cutting the meat, etc. You can bring your own wine and beer to her classes which we did. We was very accommodating with glasses. Overall the class was fun, the food was delicious and we had a good time. Definitely recommend Chef Danushka.

Though I was…read morejust there for a cooking class (Sauces 101) I would like to spend a little time understanding what else goes on in that facility. My class was about 15 people all looking to learn about the mother sauces. Frankly, I took this because a friend was taking it and why the hell not? But there were people there to really learn. Like, never touched a dish style. I was surprised that the class wasn't individual cooking stations but more like a watch and learn. There was some class participation but you're not making your own. That's the first thing to know. The second thing is that it's like being back in a legit classroom. There will be idiots, there will be knowitalls, there will be class clowns, there will be tedious questions and please repeat thats. Our instructor was so kind and patient with these people, long after I would have asked them to test the boiling oil please. I wouldn't pre-eat exactly... but I also wouldn't go starving. You may end up eating a full meal but I'd be prepared not to. After we made each sauce, they were poured over pasta in a little ramekin and distributed. The things I'd like to see included: -- a way to watch the chef without leaning over the table. A mirror? A flat screen? Something so she doesn't have to tilt the pot precariously. -- an email later with the recipes vs. the paper recipes to take home -- a big disclaimer for dummies that if you're going into a class to make sauces, they're probably not going to be vegan or gluten-free. Overall a good experience. I definitely learned some things and hope to apply them to my next big pot of mac n cheese.

Really a turn off the reason I didn't give a one star is because the fellow behind the deli counter was delightfully, friendly, and is much more typical of the people that you encounter working at this wonderful grocery store. I should've taken down the grumpy fellows name or taken his picture. Truly a downer. As for the store, the produce section continues to be fantastic, the deli counter has a great array of choices, and overall it's just a great place to shop!

They're super efficient, and if you get there early enough, the food comes out pretty quickly. They also usually have a daily specials menu, which is a great way to try more premium or fresh catches. Their temaki are made really well, with enough fish in each hand roll so that every bite feels balanced and delicious, which I really appreciate. My favorites are always the uni when they have it, the salmon with ikura, and the hamachi toro. Highly recommend Uroko for an affordable and satisfying temaki lunch.

My son and I worked side by side on our own batches, watching and listening to chef Pascal as she walked us through the process. Bake Austin provided a way for my son and I to spend special time together during quarantine. Not only that, we learned a great deal and have become better cooks because of it. Since the class I purchased an oven thermometer and a scale. I leaned that my oven takes much more time than I thought to come up to temp! My younger son watched a recording of a brownie class from Bake Austin and made a batch of brownies. The next day he flipped through my cook book and made a 2nd batch of brownies. He's baked at least once per week since watching his first Bake Austin video. I think the video made him realize he could bake, and bake he has! During our strange quarantine period Bake Austin and Chef Pascal have been a bright spot in our lives. I'm incredibly grateful for their time and effort and I hope they receive enough paying customers to make it.

We have a house with five kids so that led to many fights. Chef Pascal's classes kept her focused on something she has been interested in since she was little. They kept her busy, planning, buying, organizing, and led to nice treats for the family. While not everything she made was easy or worked out, she learned to work through it and learned from the mistakes for next time. She has grown much more confident in her abilities and excited to try new things in the kitchen. We look forward to Bake Austin's summer camps and other future opportunities.

Thai Fresh emailed me and said that they could actually do the original date. I emailed them back and told them that I already had another booking. My suggestion would be to keep bookings and not try to reschedule. Very frustrating working with them.

Since we were going to be in Austin a specific weekend, we didn't have much of a choice on what class to take. The only class available was Thai Vegetarians. All the girls ended up liking the food. We made Hot and Sour Soup, Bean Thread Salad w/ tofu and mushroom, Pad Prik King w/ tofu and red curry paste, and Pad Sea Ew w/ tofu and eggs. I thought they tasted as good as the dishes with meat. There were a total of 11 people in the class. Jam was feeling under the weather, but you wouldn't have known it. We all stood around an island while Jam explained the dish and the ingredients while guiding us on what to do next. The island was split up in three burners so there were 3-4 people making a serving of each dish. It was interactive and we all were able to contribute. She gave us a hard copy of the recipes at the beginning of class, and you can chose to follow them/take notes. There were a lot of leftovers and some brought them to go. It was a little warm inside. They needed to crank up the temperature just a wee bit. They also ran out of Thai tea. We ordered 5 but they only had enough to make 1. I do agree with the other reviewers about the cost of the class. I wouldn't have paid the full price for this type of class and am glad we purchased a Groupon. Overall, we had a great time. We left there full and more knowledgeable about Thai cooking.

It is an open space with all sorts of art supplies, tools, and just about anything your imagination can muster up. Lots of inspiration. I was hoping to make more than just one small block and have different supplies like fabric for printing. It was very therapeutic to carve my small block. The class felt a little scattered - but it was a very easy going environment, super relaxed. Our instructor was friendly and encouraged us to tap into originality without overthinking it instead of looking up patterns or inspo on our phone. I really liked that. And she offered us all coffee, freshly made. You can basically come in to do all the arts and craft your heart desires, on a donation basis. Affordable and unique way to release your artistic side without investing too much in all the supplies and then an abandoning a hobby. I'd come back with a friend and check out a different class.
