Saturday August 4th - Raspberry vinaigrette salad, Lamp lollipops, Asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, Lobster tail and mushroom risotto. I had to have it. They made drinks, appetizers and dessert pre prepped for us. Our main instructor Chef Christina was incredibly sarcastic and witty. There was a couple that was annoying AF (but this is Atlantic City what can you expect) so she had to continuously say, "if you're still LISTENING." I'm sure it gets frustrating for a professional team so if you're signing up for a COOKING CLASS be sure you're ready to LEARN to cook. Ignore the momo's. Chef Vincenzo is straight out of Italy and will teach you right at your table if you're not prepping properly which I enjoyed incredibly so be sure to make some mistakes! The class was so much fun and the food was delicious. They gave us a packet with all of the recipes and we got to keep the aprons. Can't wait to come back!

If you are a group of two, you will be placed with another group of two. Groups of four were together. This gave us a chance to chat and get to know another couple which was really cool. There is a welcome cocktail, but besides that only wine with dinner as a safety precaution - fire, sharp knives and intoxication probably don't go so well together. As we entered the kitchen, we were welcomed with a cocktail and a pre made app to munch on (think crackers and a home made dip or bruschetta) then we went over the menu and started prepping. Everyone was SO nice. Any questions or curiosity's were answered. Great sense of humor, we laughed and joked through out the whole evening. Only criticism I have, would be them having a bit more ingredients to work with. For instance the app was a pepper salad, so there were two peppers for the four of us. Shallots were called for in our smoked mushroom bisque and there was only one shallot. We worked it out well because we became friends with our partnered couple - but I could see this being harder if people or couples prefer to work to themselves. Overall the experience was out of this world. Something that I rave about to everyone.l and can't wait to try again. They also mentioned that they do private party's of groups 12-16! This would be a blast with a group.

I can't wait to go back for another culinary experience.

However, the class was unorganized. Despite arriving on time, the class had already started. People were tasked with items to start on and no one greeted us or told us where we could help.

I first met chefs Ian Knauer and Shelley Wiseman when they were the guest pizzaiolos at Liberty…read moreHall Pizza, serving up some unique and amazingly delicious pizzas. Shortly thereafter, my wife and I signed up for the Fundamentals cooking course at The Farm Cooking School - a six class series covering everything from knife skills to roasting, poaching and braising. What we experienced was far better than we expected. These are hands on classes, where we learned about the ingredients, how to utilize them and why they worked in each dish we prepared. At the end of each class, we all sit down and enjoy a delicious meal that by itself would likely cost as much as the class if we bought it at a local restaurant. What a bargain! Since that first series, I've taken over 30 other classes, and continue to take classes every week. I've made French sauces, Mexican moles, Italian pastas, Indian curries, pies, breads, and just about everything else you've seen on a plate. The variety and quality of classes and the food we've eaten has been amazing. Through these classes and the down-to-earth teaching styles of Ian and Shelley, I've learned that it's possible for amateurs like me to prepare meals that taste as good or better than those I get in restaurants. I walk away from classes thinking "Wow, that was so delicious. I can't wait to try this at home!"

On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough. She gave us the option off adding heat with a scotch bonnet pepper and showed us a couple of knife techniques to make cutting vegetables easier. We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home. Its great for a date night or friend group activity or even just solo bc everyone became so friendly.

Chef Sue was both personable and informative, and her demos were easy to follow along with the written recipes. During times when food was cooking or cooling, Sue also showed us some knife skills basics/tricks. The class went on for about 3 hours, including the time to eat at the end. I really enjoyed the experience, but in the future would choose a class with a more substantial output. The Latkes and Sufganiyot were both fried carbs, and we ended up grabbing dinner immediately after because we were still hungry for a real meal. Other than that, would recommend!

YCA made this year's birthday party such a refreshing change. From booking, to confirming the amount of children, to closing out... everything was extremely easy! My daughter had a party with 17 kids (birthday girl included). We showed up, they started on time, everything was completely organized... the kids were engaged the entire time and had so much fun (Thanks to both chefs)! I got great feedback from parents after. They had an apron that the kids signed as a takeaway for my LO... how clever! Each of them got a goody bag with some kitchen utensils and a chef's hat. It was in and out in 1.5 hours.. the best part was being able to have a nice meal at the end of the homemade pasta and sauce... also already baked cupcakes that the guests were able to decorate. I would HIGHLY recommend this as an birthday party option... for an 11 year old, it was very age appropriate and fun!

Our group selected a cooking class here which included dinner with pasta-making as the only…read morehands-on portion of the evening. We only mixed flour and water together to roll out pasta. For $125/person, I had expected better tasting food though. The small appetizers (spinach salad, prosciutto, Parmesan, olives) may have been put together from a grocery store. For the pasta that we rolled out, the staff only added a plain tomato sauce. The side of vegetables was overcooked and mushy. Tiramisu was all right. We can blame the taste and texture of the pasta on ourselves, because we made it, but I had expected the rest of the food prepared by professionals to be better. No drinks were included -- Healthy Italia is BYOB. There was a nice intro video from the owner telling us about her history and philosophy. She said that she doesn't measure ingredients, and only mixes by feel. How does one teach a cooking class like this? If someone is taking a cooking class, they are less experienced and need precise measurements and instructions. Our flour and water were measured for us, so I guess they do measure something. We were never told the measurements, so didn't have any recipe or any specific learnings to take home. I enjoyed the social time with my group, and especially the long table set out for our group in true Italian fashion. It made us feel like a big cohesive family. However, for $125/person, I felt like we could have had a true learning experience elsewhere or had a much better Italian dinner at a restaurant with drinks. In fact, on the subsequent evening, a few individuals from our group went to a restaurant and ordered similar items served at this cooking class, and the food was remarkably better. And yes, it was less than $125/person with drinks.

However, the way the billing was handled was extremely disappointing and honestly very misleading. I was told that adding two additional guests would not be a problem, and at no point was I informed there would be an extra $150 charge. To only bring this up after the event is unacceptable. That kind of information should be clearly communicated at the time the request is made so customers can make an informed decision. What made matters worse was receiving a final email stating that my deposit would be kept because of those additional guests. That is completely unprofessional. I paid $2,772.20 for a pizza-making class for 17 kids and 16 adults, and in reality, only 15 kids and 15 adults attended--and only about 8 adults even participated in making pizza. There were no additional materials or accommodations that would justify keeping the deposit. While the event itself was a success, the lack of transparency and the decision to keep the deposit left a very bad impression. Customers should not have to deal with surprise charges after the fact.

When I saw that Hudson Table offers Chef Competition events, I knew it would be a fun option for my…read morehusband and me to check out. The format is basically like the show Chopped - two chefs (with the help of a sous chef) must prepare 3 different courses (app/entrée/dessert) using the ingredients from a mystery basket and are judged by the group. They have a certain amount of time for each round/course, and each mystery basket ingredient must only be used once over the 3 dishes. Each event is capped at 20 people - 12 seats at the counter and 8 seated at two tables behind the counter. Counter seats are only $10 more, however if the counter is sold out, it's totally fine to have a table seat. They encourage you to stand up and walk around, engaging with the chefs as they are preparing each dish. They have tasting sticks and allow you to taste sauces as they are being prepared. It's an intimate setting and it's a great way to learn about their techniques and the various ingredients. Watching them plate 20 dishes is incredible. All the food they prepared was delicious - there wasn't a bad dish. It's basically like having two full 3-course meals however you can take home any leftovers if you can't finish it all. You don't know the mystery ingredients ahead of time and they can't accommodate any allergies/preferences so that's something to keep in mind if you have allergies or are a picky eater. Our main proteins were chicken and steak so no issues there. At the end of each course, you have a score card where you rate each dish on presentation, creativity, and taste. At the end of the final round, we went around the room and told the chefs who we think should be crowned the night's winner. No getting out of telling them to their faces who was your favorite! It was a really fun night. The hostess was great and kept everyone pumped up and made sure our carafe of water was full. Both chef Ed and Guillermo were really cool and friendly - it was great to chat with them. They are amazing chefs. Some tips: don't be late! Don't dress too warmly especially if you are seated at the counter - it gets warm if you are near the stove burners. Bring wine - they have ice buckets for white/rosé. Book as soon as the calendar goes live if you want a counter seat. You are going to smell like oil/fried food when you leave... so ladies, don't get a fresh blowout ahead of time!
