Went for a date night with another couple. We arrived at 7pm, most of the others were already wearing aprons and standing near stations. I really didn't know what the deal was or how it worked, so was a bit confused. The lead cook said hello and gave us a quick run-down of where things were kept, so I have to say not a huge amount of detail on how things worked and what to do. She and another chef walked around helping us out and answering questions as we asked (or should have asked).
The way it worked was that there were enough stations for the number of ppl. (ours wasn't particularly well organized - they had 10 ppl, apparently one couple signed up 1-2 days before, and only 8 spots. Also, one recipe was tartlets and they didn't have the right equipment - so that became a pie. Which didn't work as well as we would've liked). Anyway, 8 stations for 10 ppl, but should've been 10 stations. Each one was a course. Basically everyone stood in front of a recipe and made it. The ppl that got there before us were standing in front of the more interesting dishes. I was standing in front of something that tasted good, but was quick and I already knew how to make. As ppl cooked, you can walk around, talk to ppl, potentially help others with their stuff.
My girlfriend and I were hoping to get some teaching. Learn some stuff. It wasn't set up that way. Basically you followed the recipe and if you had questions you asked. Which in the end, made it more of a social sort of thing. Except we were never introduced to the other couples (I met them as I wandered around, asked ppl about what they were making and said hello). But this wasn't really set up by Eurostoves. They just sort of set up the equipment, recipes, and said "go".
As we cooked, they made us an appetizer of flat bread pizza as well as a bowl of nuts - which was nice. They also served us wine throughout the nice. We enjoyed a glass of champagne, white wine, and red wine. The wine was fine - nothing impressive, but not terrible.
The equipment was all good and the space itself was nice.
We got there at 7pm, all separately made various recipes, mingled on our own, and then placed all our meals on a buffet table around 9:40pm or so and ate to our heart's content. By that time we'd all had a few hours to mingle, drink some wine, and had quite a nice dinner. The food was great and the company was good - it was fun to share a dinner that we made with a group of strangers, all quite nice and from very different backgrounds.
If you're looking to learn how to cook, this isn't it. I think it would be good if you had a few couples who basically wanted to pay for the space and recipes, hang out, cook together, and chat. For a decent price. It was an enjoyable night, but we won't be doing it again. read more
