I had no idea what to expect other than hoping for as great of an experience as the reviews I read…read more I was a little apprehensive about it being at someone's home instead of a restaurant or business, but it was probably even better I set this up for a work team bonding event. We ended up being only 5 minutes late, but Chef Titik was so welcoming. The only thing should have been a disclosure about having pets and potential allergies. She made us a welcome drink which was very tasty. She told us a little about herself and experience as a chef. We learned so much inclusive of knife sharpening techniques to how to properly cut fruits and vegetables, putting together seasoning, tips and tricks, and some facts about food. She even took photos of us and shared them. She made us feel like family at home having us over for dinner helping cook. It was such a memorable experience and so unique and perfect for my team. We all love food and travel so this is definitely one for the books. We all had a blast and would highly recommend.

I ended up getting the recipe emailed to me by the chef months later. I would still recommend Cozymeal and think their chefs are knowledgable (as was mine), hope this doesn't happen again and think it was a one off hiccup.

Cooking Canvas really holds a special place in my family and I heart because I remember when it first opened and we were so excited to attend our first local cooking class event that didn't involve us having to drive all the way downtown or to the north side. So we've attended classes here and hosted many private events here. Always a great time. BYOB and music.

Both were very personable and patient with our loud and sometimes rowdy bunch. We made 6 drinks and had appetizers for our group of 10. Everything was laid out perfectly and the quality of the mixers and ingredients was good. I appreciated the music and back drop to take pictures. If I ever want to have another party of this type, I'd definitely come back. Perfect place for a date night or kids cooking Party, too. Overall, great experience!!

First time here and first time eating at a spot in Blue Island…read more Went here to celebrate a birthday The place is a cool size, nice and quaint. I think it was a bit dark inside but it was cute. Love the maps on the walls. The concept is cool to have different food items from over the globe. Loved that! I had the shrimp bao thrn I ordered the chicken bao. Both were amazing! Thank you Deja, our waiter for the recommendation. My friends had the steak frites and the steak was delicious! Moist for sure. I didn't try the wings but she said they were good. Looking forward to going back for brunch!

Executive Chef Jennifer Gavin is a STAR as evinced by her performance on Gordon Ramsey's Hell's…read moreKitchen, but this restaurant missed a five star rating by a mile. The service was second to none (thank you Deja), but the restaurant is sterile, cold and the music selection is a radio station the staff apparently likes and played way too loud during a morning brunch. This seems like a prep spot for her catering venture and not a five star dining establishment. In fact, there is NOTHING 5-Star about this dining experience. Even the website demonstrates that her focus is on catering large events--evidenced by the catering menus being featured and not the dining menus. As for the food, it was good, but nothing was exceptional. We shared the "Exotic Fruit & Berry Mosaic Board" -- a medley of delicious fresh fruit. My wife had the "Brioche French Toast" - French toast, eggs and choice of meat: (Pork Bacon, Turkey Bacon, Veggie Sausage, Chicken & Apple Sausage, Turkey Sausage). My son tried the Belgian waffles with bourbon maple syrup, eggs and sausage as the "choice of meat." I ordered a simple Belgian Waffle and was going to eat my wife's eggs and sausage since she hadn't eaten them. (Hmmmm????) I understand why she passed. The eggs were bland and the sausage links had an awful aftertaste. With all due respect, if you're not going to season the eggs, PLEASE put salt and pepper on the tables. $115 seemed ridiculously high for the quality of the food and no alcohol--and I've paid twice as much with no complaints at Virtue, Asciones etc. It breaks my heart to have not really enjoyed Easter Brunch at Edible Passport, but it felt like a bit of a dive, not a fine dining experience.

If there was an option to give negative stars, I would do so! Went for a ravioli cooking class on…read moreFriday May 13 at 6:30 pm. Used a Groupon offer for my first time ever which was $45 per person. This was a HUGE rip off! To start off, we orginally booked a class that was cancelled because the chef had an emergency. This was a cooking class. One would think that class equates to actually being instructed to do something "hands on" in order to learn something. This class WAS NOT hands on whatsoever!There was no prep work involved and the only utensils that we used were a mixing spoon and two forks, no joke! The instructor was not engaging at all. The actual cooking room was warm. Knowing that we were preparing ravioli, I brought a bottle of white wine. There was no where to keep the wine chilled and it sat on the stainless steel counter (mind you in an already warm room) the entire time. We were offered wine glasses though (as if that made up for anything)!! As a side note, I am pretty sure that the cost of the wine was more than the cost of the ingredients that were used to make the meal. Last but not least, the instructor was not engaging. I would expect the instructor to be enthuastic and personable about leading a class but he was not whatsoever! I am shocked that I am the only second person to give a negative review and hope that others take the time to share their experience. This was beyond disappointing and a huge waste of two hours! P.S. Writing this YELP review is actually as long as it should have taken to make the ravioli. It was a long drawn out painful two hours of my life that I cannot get back!
