We had a great time learning to cook Thai food with Chef Cori and everything was delicious! The only thing that would make the experience better is if we were able to use butane gas grills and if there was a sink in the room. Also, it's in a rough part of town, so definitely try to park as close to the building as possible. read more

I've taken 2 classes at Eatz and both were so much fun! The first one I took was a pasta making class where I learned how to make linguine & ravioli from scratch! As well as pasta sauces and a delicious bruschetta. I went with my cousin and we enjoyed a few glasses of wine while meeting wonderfully kind people in the class. The second class I went to was a sushi making class! In this class we learned how to make shrimp tempura rolls, spicy tuna rolls, cucumber salad, and had lots of sake! Both classes I enjoyed with a few friends which made the experience even more memorable! This is one of my favorite activities to do with friends, a date night, or solo! Definitely can't wait to go back! read more

The organization I work for received a self-care grant and as a group we decided that a cooking class would be a fun way to utilize those funds for collective care. We decided to go with EATZ LA and we were so lucky to have Cori as our chef and instructor. They made it so approachable and easy to follow and also just so fun! Their love for cooking was really evident and how they handled us with care and it was just an overall great experience. I hope more people get to experience Corey as an instructor with Eatz LA! read more

EATZ - Cooking Schools Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had such an amazing time taking a cooking class here this past weekend with another couple! Yes it costs $125 dollars per person but you are getting an experience, lots of yummy food and wine! There were only eight people total, which made it feel really intimate and hands-on. We learned how to make pasta from scratch and enjoyed unlimited wine, honestly, what's not to love? The instructor Chief Marita, was incredibly friendly, down-to-earth, and shared some great techniques we'll actually use at home. Highly recommend! read more

First time taking a class at eatz. I have a deep passion for cooking as a hobby and wanted something fun and informative. Aside from learning new recipes i wanted a group setting that was interactive, fun and informative at the same time. Chef Cori was the pioneer for all that! She brought the knowledge, the wisdom, passion, enthusiasm into the room. She set the mood for us to have fun with her humor, her awesome taste in music and overall relaxed laid back attitude. She was awesome and I would highly recommend this for a date night, a group outing, even going yourself you will meet people interact, learn how to make delicious food that you will eat! Thank you for the amazing experience Chef Cori, you exceeded my expectations. read more

Last night, I had the most amazing time at Eatz, where I finally got to celebrate a dear friend's belated birthday in style. The theme was French cuisine which they called Moulin Rouge! From the moment we arrived, it was all about delicious food and priceless memories with my husband & friends. I can't say enough about Chef Cori and the Sous Chef Myra. They were phenomenol hosts and culinary experts. I love how they bring such a fun flare to the class with all the funny jokes & banter, dancing, and just good vibes. The menu we tackled was straight out of a French dream. We started with the classic Ham & Cheese Croque Monsieur. It was so delicious with the herb mayo sauce we created beforehand. Then we thinly sliced up apples in halves and started layering cheddar cheese, ham, apple slices, cheddar cheese, ham apple slices. You get the point. Then we toasted it on melted butter on the skillet just enough to toast it lightly brown on each side. This dish was irresistibly so good. We then hopped on over to make the Ratatouille Nicoise, which was not just a dish but a colorful work of art on a plate with all the dicinng of red bell pepper, zuchinni, tomatoes, onion, parsley, & thyme. This dish was to compliment the last course of the meal which was a mouthwatering Porcini Rib Eye Steak topped with herb butter that melted in your mouth oh so perfectly. Each dish was a masterpiece we got to be an Iron Chef at within our cookinng stations that were partnered in 2's. I love this place because Eatz always me an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, learning, and some seriously good eats. Can't wait to go back again, and again, and again. Bon appétit! read more

On February 23rd, 2025 I attended the Pasta Making class at Eatz with Chef Cori and Sous Chef after being signed up by Renaissance Club. I was so excited I've always wanted to make pasta and I thought it's so complicated and that you need all these extra tools to hang the pasta and flatten the pasta so I never tried. Well, taking this class was so fun, and showed me that you don't need anything fancy, all you need is your ingredients, a rolling pin, and a cutting board! We made Tricolore Bruschetta with tomatoes, The pasta dough, Cheese Ravioli with Marina Sauce, and Linguini with Pink sauce. All while cooking there are bottles of wine that you can refill as many times as you want which definitely added to the fun! I think my favorite was making the ravioli! How fun it was to make the dough thin, and then to put the dallops of cheese and then cut them into little circles or squares. They were so delicious and perfect and didn't take much time to cook in the pot of water! The best thing is that after the class, the recipes are sent to you so you can recreate the recipes at home! The only thing that I must say about the experience, is that since I was alone, and signed up by Renaissance club, I was paired with someone else from Renaissance club who I have never met before. I was very cognizant of how many times my partner touched her hair or her clothes and then touched the food being prepared, and I didn't want to make an enemy to say anything about this so I didn't. The bathrooms are not close so you have to walk far to wash the hands. The saving grace is that the food is being boiled so killing all the germs, so I was ok and was able to enjoy. Basically it's best to sign up with someone you know and trust to cook with or get lucky to be at a station alone! The good thing is that there is enough ingredients and enough time to where both people are able to chop or smash or roll so nobody feels left out and everyone can participate equally. Also, I didn't realize this, so I ate everything LOL, but you can get to go boxes to take food home. So I got super full when I really could have saved some for later. Hahaha! I had so much fun and I would love to sign up for more classes, I've already got my eye on several! Cannot wait to do this again! read more

Attended a cooking class for a boys night out in DTLA where we made honey whiskey infused dishes: shrimp, steak and chopped Brussels. I'm typically skeptical of cooking classes but we genuinely had a fun time and even learned some new cooking techniques and best practices. It was in cool loft space in DTLA and we felt safe to be as dramatic and crazy as black queer men. Also didn't hurt that it was a BYOB experience )with flat rate cost for a private class), so we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Amazing class, thank you Chef Cori for sharing your skills, insights and passion with us. Learning to make pasta was a personal hurdle, thanks to you I feel confident. I noted so many of the tips on kitchen etiquette and tool usage. The atmosphere was welcoming, entertaining and light. Absolutely priceless team building experience. read more

Such an amazing experience from start to finish! The chef was not only incredibly talented but also a fantastic instructor -- patient, engaging, and made everything easy to follow. The whole atmosphere had such a fun, welcoming vibe that made the night feel special. The food we made was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as good -- and yes, they're all-you-can-drink, which was a huge bonus! This is perfect for a date night, girls' night, or honestly anyone looking to level up their cooking skills while having a great time. I would 100% do this again. Highly recommend! read more

I've taken both the pasta-making and tequila courses here, and I absolutely loved them! Each class was hands-on, fun, and taught by instructors who clearly know their craft. The pasta class was especially great -- learning to make fresh pasta from scratch was easier (and tastier!) than I expected. The tequila class was just as enjoyable -- informative without being overly serious, and a great way to spend an evening with friends or a date. I highly recommend taking a class here whether you're looking to improve your cooking skills, try something new, or just have a good time. You'll walk away with great memories -- and maybe a few new recipes to impress people with at home! read more

We attended the One Night in Bangkok class. We loved it! Chef Cori was awesome, we got great vibes from her. She's a true professional and knows her stuff! Very helpful and made it easy to learn. Everything we were taught was surprisingly easy to make and so delicious! We definitely recommend taking a class and or giving a gift card to friends and family. We can't wait for the next one! read more

Honestly, 2 stars is me being generous. Went for a private event focused on "Indian food." The location is super sketchy, parking is easy, but there's broken glass and trash littering the streets around it. Once inside the space is cool, but the 2 instructors we had were not very charismatic. The Indian food recipes were far from authentic (they used coconut milk instead of cream, had tofu as the vegetarian protein option instead of chickpeas or lentils, and added spices at the end of the recipe instead of at the beginning). The cooking tools were at times broken and difficult to use, and many of their cooking techniques were just wrong (e.g., how to cook rice). They are generous with how much food they let everyone have, and they do let you pack up the food to go which is nice (though I had no desire to eat any more of mine..) Their time management of running the class was also poor. We went for a class at 7pm and didn't eat till after 9. Everyone was so hungry that they started eating while standing at their cooking stations. Oh and the unlimited wine they offer? It's Viñas Chilenas Reserva, a cheap 5 dollar Trader Joes wine. I looked on the website and it says classes are over 100 dollars. I wouldn't come back even if this was a 35-40 dollar experience however. I've been to much better, and cheaper, classes elsewhere. read more

Great great experience at the EATZ cooking class! I booked the cooking with tequila class with a group of girls and it was such a fun class. Our instructor was very chill and knowledgeable. I cook a lot of Asian food at home so it was cool going a little outside my comfort zone. We were sipping on never ending tequila cocktails which in hindsight might be a dangerous move but luckily we made it out with all our digits attached and some leftover food to take home. Location is a little sketch and if you're ubering, I would recommend waiting inside the building for the Uber driver to arrive. read more

Dear Niki, I hope you're doing well! My fiancé and I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the truly wonderful experience we had at your cooking school this past Sunday. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, excited, and eager to learn--and the class absolutely delivered. I don't know if you would have remembered me, but I'm the one that took one of your classes pre Covid and then purchased a couple of gift cards for another class and then the world shut down and then life got in the way, but I was finally able to use the certificates this past weekend with my fiancé Crystal. Also, I must say that Chef Cori was exceptional. Her warmth, expertise, and enthusiasm made everything enjoyable and accessible. She guided us through each step with patience, clarity, and genuine encouragement--never making anyone feel rushed and always offering helpful tips. It was evident she is passionate about what she does, and that energy was contagious throughout the group. Beyond Chef Cori's wonderful teaching, the entire class atmosphere was fantastic. The space was inviting, well‑organized, and thoughtfully laid out for learning and connection. It was such a pleasure to work alongside all the other students, to laugh, ask questions, and most importantly, learn new techniques we'll actually use again. Thanks to every detail--from the ingredients prepared, to the way Chef Cori walked us through each stage, to the final moments of enjoying our dishes--the experience felt special and memorable. My fiancé and I left feeling more confident in the kitchen, inspired to cook together more often, and grateful for the time and care you've put into your school. Please pass along our gratitude to Chef Cori who is an absolute gem and very dedicated to her craft as well as an amazing asset to your school. We're already looking forward to returning and exploring another class with you and bringing friends and other family members !!! Again, thank you for some great memories and a terrific time last weekend, Alan read more

My first time going to a cooking class before and one of my friends has been to this Eatz one and decided that we should all go and try it out. We had a private one where everyone in the class knew each other there were about ten people. Each party of two would share a small camping stove where you will have pots to cook on. The class that we decided to pick was a Whiskey class which uses whiskey in the dishes. We made: 1. Whiskey shrimp flambee 2. Whiskey glaze Brussels 3. Rib-eye with whiskey mushroom cream sauce While we are cooking the dishes we also got to learn how to make a real old fashion and what the history behind the old school drink was about! I learned a lot from this class and would say that if you aren't a chef or know how to cook, don't be afraid because anyone can learn how they do their instructions. It was fun and just a side note that if you are allergic to any ingredients, you should let them know before the class so they can substitute things for you! read more

We've taken six cooking classes at Eatz and loved every one. As vegetarians, we've always felt well accommodated. The classes are fun, the food is excellent, drinks are included, and you leave with practical tips that actually improve how you cook at home. read more

I took an EATZ class with my husband for a date night. The experience was very fun and we met a lot of great people that night. The cooking class we chose was One Night in Bangkok- we were excited to learn how to make Thai food as it is one of our favorites. We made spring rolls, a lemongrass coconut soup and chicken and shrimp pad Thai. Overall, I'd rate the food we made a 2/5. I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine but the flavors and ingredients did not seem authentic to me. For example, we used mushrooms for pad Thai and I don't think I've ever had it that way. The noodles were also different to me. Anyway, I would try another class, but perhaps I'd pick the make pasta from scratch class. read more

Had a great time at our cooking class! I was looking for a cooking class where you actually get to cook everything and have your own station with burner and they have exactly that! There are a lot of other cooking classes where you mostly just watch the instructor cook. I was happy that we got to chop and make our own dishes. We took the gnocchi class with bruschetta appetizer and strawberry ice cream dessert. Class was 3 hours long and we paired up to share a station. Chef Cori was awesome!!! She's funny, patient and so sweet. The menu was vegetarian but portions were small. We grabbed take out on our way home. Lol. read more

My partner and I took a pasta making class with EATZ. The positives: * it's a female owned business and we had two female chefs which is a nice dynamic change from other classes I've taken in LA * we ate throughout the class, other classes I've taken don't come with food * there were some helpful tips and tricks, particularly with knife skills, that I took away from the class The negatives: * the location is not in a good neighborhood. There were smashed car windows on the street, although our car ended up being fine * the room where class was held did not have adequate ventilation. Lots of eye watering throughout the class from the cooking food and onion vapor * our cooking stove would automatically turn off when it hit boiling, so it took three times as long for our pasta to cook than it was supposed to * our sous chef wasn't able to give adequate help. We needed serious assistance with our dough, we thought it was too dry but the sous chef told us it was fine so we kept having to knead it in an attempt to work in all the water. As we were cutting our pasta later in the class, the main chef told us our dough was too tense from over kneading. Would have been great to get advice sooner * our main chef told the group to not cook with olive oil when asked why she wasn't putting it in the tomato sauce, but that you need to cut it with butter or another oil (which is so inauthentic for Italian cooking)! She said it's because olive oil is especially carcinogenic when heated. While olive oil does have a lower smoke point, it breaks down into volatile compounds at a slower rate than most vegetable oils. Heating olive oil in a sauce should not provide a risk. Heating any oil technically increases your cancer risk. Not sure where the chef heard this information but I think at best she was misinformed. * the wine was cheap Trader Joe's wine All in all I wouldn't take a class here again at this price point, although if you're looking for a beginner friendly class where food and drinks are provided, it could be a fun activity. read more

Went for the cooking with tequila class with Chef Cori and Sous Chef Mayra and had an absolute hoot. The class format is one giant table with two people per station and each station has their own utensils and burner. You first start off with Margaritas, which were absolutely delicious, but be warned before you come to eat something light to soak up the goodness. The class was at 7:00 pm and I usually eat at 5:30 or 6:00, so in hind sight it's a good idea to have a little something in case you're an early eater. They do start on time so give them a heads up if running late. Chef Cori was great and even made us a quick hibiscus simple syrup to add to the top since there happened be some in the pantry. Very yummy. Chef Cori went over some knife skills with us and we started chopping. We help cut up items for our steaks so they could start marinating. Then after that we started working on our ceviche. We had to let the fish cook a little in the lime so we set that to the side. The next part was my absolute favorite which is Queso Fundido. It's like cheese fondue (for those that haven't had it before). Typically I've seen it cooked with chorizo, but this time we cooked it with habanero and jalapenos. Honestly it was some of the best queso fundido I've had, and it's cool to know I made it! They gave us tortilla chips and we could ask for more if we needed/wanted more. With our fish now ready we started chopping the rest of our veggies and assemble our ceviche. I loved that it was customizable it was because we're cooking it. For dessert we had flambeed bananas which was the first time I ever flambeed something. It was served along with some ice cream and was a great way to end the evening. Final points, yes the parking is a little sketch, it's downtown LA. But once you're inside the building is neat and the space is huge. It's a fun class to learn basics and interact. We had all levels of experience in the room along with different ages but we all just had a good time. Definitely looking forward to the next one. read more

Wow wow wow! Ok, it's not secret I'm a total creature of habit but.. I'm also pretty particular about the quality of the things I like. Eatz is consistently outstanding in the offering of their cooking classes. I have now taken a decent amount to really see that they are all fantastic. I started with a Persian class (Corp group event), later took an Indian class solo (so much fun!!!), most recently even did their virtual offering in another (Corp group setting) for Island Fever night and just showed up in person this evening for Paella Party. The teachers are excellent, helpful, engaging and fun. This is seriously probably zero doubt about it the best cooking class in LA. I was a bit weary of the virtual class and it was incredible. I hosted this event for a Corp event and have since received so many thank tous and comments on how much everyone our class and how many have remade the items since, myself included. Made the full blown exact menu two days later and can't wait to make it fir my grandma. The bananas flambé will make you feel like a million bucks after igniting that flame and watching it simmer out. I literally want to stand over my oven lighting rum on fire on the daily. The coconut ginger fried rice is one of the tastiest rice dishes I've ever made and this is coming from someone who previously refused to cook with ginger or coconut. The jerk Jamaican pork chops are next level once topped with the sauce and plated over the rice. Our pandemic out of the house outing to a paella party has been one of the most fun evenings in months. I've been in several parts of Spain and never made a paella myself. I discovered smoked paprika which I'm not even certain I picked up while in Hungary. ALL in LA, at home on a Saturday evening. The fresh made sangria was so tasty! Our gazpacho was incredible and the Spanish tortilla was mouth watering. I do wish tonight's menu had dessert on it, but I'll figure out how to make homemade churros at home. I'm pretty damn resourceful. The Indian night I did solo was a while back but I got to take the station with the instructor on a regular (back pre rona evening) and it was the most fun night ever. Making garlic naan and an entire array of tastiness. I recommend attending class here for Corp events, solo, fam bam occasions, girls night or boozy brunch, date (what the f is that? I wanna know) but seriously date nights, private events you name it! The place is great! You won't be disappointed. Virtual classes are also totally easy to follow. Metered Street parking on La Brea is what I do. Bon appétit! read more

This was a birthday present from my husband. So one of my best girlfriends and I went. And while I can agree the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, one you're in the cooking class area, it's great. We took the Sushi class. We had Chef Cori who was very skilled but didn't wasn't all pretentious. She was helpful, had great tips, had a great vibe and a wonderful teacher. I feel very confident in making the crunchy shrimp rolls for my husband next weekend! One of my friends moved out of state a few years ago and for her birthday, I plan on buying us a class! Maybe we'll try Thai or Vegan. Alls I know is my husband thinks I'm a great cook and I think with a few more classes from Eatz I think I will be! read more

EATZ - Cooking Schools Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fun class! We not only learned how to make sushi, but also some new cooking skills. Chef Cori was fun and very welcoming.

We booked the entire class, 16 of us this week. The pop-up place was a disaster, we were cramped in a super small room at the back of an art gallery storeroom, cooking with one camping stove per couple, (not even one extra for the teacher) on top of a piece of plywood with a black cover. The space had a small window AC unit and 2 floor fans, granted it was a hot day, but the breakers keep tripping and there was no air circulation at times (remember, 8 stoves cooking). It was so hot (+120F) that we had to go outside to cool off while cooking. Eating dinner was on benches and high chairs (no tables) at the front of the art gallery, very uncomfortable. The teacher was "okay" following up the recipe on her phone at times. Not what we expected, when we booked the entire class for a team-building event. read more

My husband, daughter, and I have been taking cooking classes at Eatz for over 4 years. Even through COVID, we took classes via Zoom. The classes helped to give us something fun to do during the difficult times. Eatz is a great place to take cooking classes. You cook everything, learn cooking techniques, eat, and take home leftovers. It is a fun way to celebrate a special occasion or date night. We have taken other cooking classes but EATZ stands out as one of the best. The classes are presented in a way that makes cooking fun, entertaining, easy and delicious. The locations of the classes are held in parts of the City I wouldn't usually visit, but they remind me of our city's diversity. I would definitely recommend EATZ as a place to have a fun learning experience. read more
