I bought a Groupon for four people to attend Chef Baba's cooking class, and we were all so excited to go! I thought we were cooking, but it turns out that we got to sit and learn how to cook! The chef does these classes in two locations; one in Fort Lauderdale, and one in Delray Beach. Today we attended the class at Bagel Twins restaurant in Delray Beach. Tonight's menu included Lobster! We started off with a delicious Lobster ravioli with a lemon wine sauce and wilted arugula. From there we had the most divine lobster bisque I've ever tasted. Chef Cooks all of this in front of you and asks for participation from the audience. He had many Sous chefs tonight! After the bisque, he made the most incredible Lobster bruschetta with a balsamic glaze on top. And to finish off the evening he served the most delicious lobster mac and cheese I have ever had in my entire life! When you take his classes, he will email you the recipes of everything he cooked that night. My friends and I had so much fun and we would definitely go back for another demonstration and meal! Such a fun and interactive evening! read more

I recently attended the Chef Baba cooking class on Saturday and it was a fun experience from start to finish. The class was well organized, hands-on, and perfect for both beginners and experienced cooks. What I loved most was how Chef Baba explained every step clearly and shared useful cooking tips that you can actually use at home. The atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and interactive, which made learning even more enjoyable. The recipes were good and easy to follow. I highly recommend Chef Baba cooking classes whether it's for a girls night, date night or just a fun outing. The class was about 2.5 hours and included 4 courses. read more

The cooking class was such a fun and interactive experience! The more outgoing you are, the more you'll enjoy it. Chef Baba is funny, a little sarcastic, and really encourages everyone to cook with their heart rather than stressing over perfection. One of the coolest parts is that he makes his own wine from scratch and gives everyone a glass to try. You can also BYOB, which makes the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. The class is group-based, so volunteers help cook while everyone participates and learns together before sharing the food. It creates a really fun atmosphere and makes for a great date night or group outing. The food was incredibly tasty and felt very authentic. My family and I definitely learned a recipe that could easily become part of our Sunday dinner rotation. I'm excited to try it again once Chef Baba sends the recipe! Overall, it was a great experience. Plus, if you come back as a repeat customer, there are some really nice deals offered. Highly recommend! read more

We love Chef Baba's cooking classes. Have been to quite a few. They are always entertaining, educational, yummy (you get to eat everything that is cooked) and hydrating (lots of Cheff Baba's wine to enjoy). I have been using several of Chef Baba's tips since the first class I attended. This past weekend we attended his Italy event at Bagel Twins. While this was not specifically a cooking "class" it was a lot of fun and of course there was lots of food to eat (included in the price of admission). We brought 4 friends that had not had the Chef Baba "experience" yet and they enjoyed the whole experience. They are now looking forward to attending Chef Baba cooking classes. read more

What an amazing class!! Chef baba is so funny, knowledgeable and hosts an amazing class. I love how he uses all of the participants in the class and even the shyest person will open up after participating. All of the dishes were delicious. We made the penne allá vodka, bruschetta, white bean soup and Zabaglione. I will definitely come back again. read more

Chef Baba Cooking Class - Cooking Classes Near Me - Lauderdale Lakes, Florida

Chef Baba absolutely delivered. One of those meals where every dish that comes out makes you pause for a second because the flavors are just that good. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well thought out, and you can tell there's real passion behind the cooking. Nothing felt rushed or generic - every bite felt intentional and full of flavor. It's rare to find food that feels both elevated and comforting at the same time, but Chef Baba nailed it. Definitely one of the better dining experiences I've had recently. Already looking forward to the next visit. read more

What a fun experience! We bought a Groupon for the traditional Italian cooking class and had a great time! Chef is funny and is "old school Italian" ( his words not mine). I cook but learned some great tips and the food was good. I would have had more sauce on my pink vodka aside with pasta, but the homemade red wine, Tuscan soup and berries sabayon were excellent. He's a hoot and we will definitely be retuning!!! read more

My very first legit cooking class and it was amazing. Chef Baba knows his stuff and knows how to entertain. This was an intro Italian cooking class and he did not disappoint. I thought everyone would be cooking but to properly set expectations it's a classroom style but definitely interactive. He calls volunteers up to assist. You will get all the recipes after the class is over. We had an amazing 4 course meal that I'm definitely going to try at home with all my new tips and knowledge. Don't miss out on this one read more

This is not a typical cooking class. Don't expect to do any cooking. It's pretty much all done by the chef. DO however expect to be thoroughly entertained, well fed, and to leave with a smile.

We bought a Groupon for this cooking class and we had a great time! It's in a warehouse area. Inside, everyone sits at long tables and high top tables facing the chef. He puts on a cooking demonstration and has 2 people come up to help at a time (about 8 total throughout). Everyone else kind of lends a hand serving food or cleaning up or pouring wine, etc.. chef baba is great! We ate some great food all lobster themed. We saw another couple bring their own bottle of wine so that is definitely recommended and I would next time! read more

Chef Baba is fun, engaging, informative and his homemade wine is delicious! Bought my wife tickets for her birthday. We had another couple join us. A shout out to Krista C, who reviewed this class in December. I bought tickets for the lobster class. LOBSTER Extravaganza: Bisque, Ravioli, Bruschetta, and lobster Mac and cheese. And Krista was there also. Always cool seeing fellow Yelpers. This class was held at the Bagel Twins on Linton and Miltary. Chef Baba does the cooking, but enlists helpers thru out. My wife and I were chosen first to help. Food was delicious. You can bring you own bottle of wine. Chef also showcases his own red wine, which is availabe to purchase. We bought a jug. 40 people filled the class, there was plenty of food for everyone. I bought tickets directly from his sight, $60 per. Well worth it. apparently there are tickets also available on groupon. Can not wait to book another class. Thank you Chef Baba for making my wife's birthday,dinner unforgettable. read more
