Chef Danushka is a character and really made the experience fun. Her classes are offered at her house which has a great kitchen and entertaining space. We did a southwestern grill menu. We all got to participate in the making of the meal with different tasks - cutting up veggies, making guacamole and elote corn, grilling the meat, cutting the meat, etc. You can bring your own wine and beer to her classes which we did. We was very accommodating with glasses. Overall the class was fun, the food was delicious and we had a good time. Definitely recommend Chef Danushka.

I tried using the website to find a private chef for a cooking class locally. We were excited to…read morebook our experience and looking forward to the class. Then, 24 hours before the class, the chef updated the posting to notify attendees that the class would be run by Sur La Table. We have been to a class by Sur La Table and it was so bad we left 30 minutes into the class. I contacted CozyMeal to let them know about the bait & switch, and talked to them on chat. They refused to help. I have tried calling them, and they have not answered. This company is an absolute sham and only wants to take your money and run.

Freda's Kitchen - Iron Chef Review…read more We engaged Ashley and her team to create an Iron Chef style event for our family of fifteen ages 5-84 over the holidays. They did an absolutely incredible job! Ashley made sure every detail was taken care of and coordinated the entire event flawlessly. Ashley's team members (Kyle, Kristin, Holly and Chef Uyen Pham) were all exceptionally professional and they ensured it was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. Although the final results are still under protest (just kidding). We highly recommend Freda's Kitchen for anyone looking for something different whether it be a team building or in our case a family event. We also held it at Wilson's Appliance in Dripping Springs who were gracious in allowing to use their top of line equipment in their model kitchens.

My friends and I did a cooking class here and had a great time. Our chef and her assistant were…read morereally friendly and down-to-earth, and they gave an introduction letting us know about their business and why they started it, which gave some meaning to what we were doing. The space where we ate was gorgeous and felt like we were dining in someone's beautiful home. Half our group was running late (30 minutes!) due to the marathon closing off some roads, and they still gave us our full experience. FYI, it is BYO here! If we had known earlier, we would have brought our own additional drinks, but they did serve us wine. The kitchen was a little cramped for 14 of us, and compared to other cooking classes I've done, it was a little ad-hoc getting everyone organized. They didn't have a pre-set number of people for each station, and with only 2 staff, they were stretched a little thin helping everyone. It all worked out, but it was a little slow figuring out who would do what, with rough last minute estimates on how many people were needed at each spot. Still, our food was great, we all learned some new kitchen skills (though the chef did help us quite a bit to get us there!), and we had a fun time! There were tons of leftovers too.

Our local one closed recently so, it was nice to come browse a familiar store while in town visiting a friend.

Great to see an alternative here for a much cheaper price minus the fees.

We signed up our visiting grandson for their Coastal Italian Cooking Class. He is 14 and already an…read moreaccomplished cook so this was right in his wheel house. We did have a faux pas as we did not realize that a paid adult had to accompany him. Kudos to the staff for giving us a hall pass and allowing junior to attend the class with us standing off to the side. He had a blast preparing dishes with his three teammates, making fresh pasta for the linguine and clam sauce, and even a desert pizza. The class was well organized and the chef instructor and assistants made sure everyone's dish was prepared and cooked to perfection. I did get a chance to sample the pasta course and it was excellent. This is a great date/family night, or Corp outing experience. Do take some time to browse the store. Sur La Table has high end kitchenware and cooking tools. So, why not a 5-star review? Well half way through the class we were informed that only one of us could be in the class area. The message could have been communicated to us a tad for professionally and customer friendly. They did accommodate us earlier so I left and got to have a beer and watch the NBA finals game for a bit.

The fellow…read morethat waited on me behind the meat counter was grumpy, borderline, rude, unfriendly, and clearly did not want to be working today. Really a turn off the reason I didn't give a one star is because the fellow behind the deli counter was delightfully, friendly, and is much more typical of the people that you encounter working at this wonderful grocery store. I should've taken down the grumpy fellows name or taken his picture. Truly a downer. As for the store, the produce section continues to be fantastic, the deli counter has a great array of choices, and overall it's just a great place to shop!

I got an email two weeks before the date and they said that something had come up and gave me alternative dates. This event was for people out of town and needed to be that specific date. Luis emailed me back and said that another date would be the date. I was very frustrated that the date was changed. I made a booking elsewhere. Thai Fresh emailed me and said that they could actually do the original date. I emailed them back and told them that I already had another booking. My suggestion would be to keep bookings and not try to reschedule. Very frustrating working with them.

I was tasked to plan a bachelorette weekend trip in Austin with 5 girls. The cooking class came up…read moreon Groupon, and thought it would be a fun idea to add this to our itinerary. Since we were going to be in Austin a specific weekend, we didn't have much of a choice on what class to take. The only class available was Thai Vegetarians. All the girls ended up liking the food. We made Hot and Sour Soup, Bean Thread Salad w/ tofu and mushroom, Pad Prik King w/ tofu and red curry paste, and Pad Sea Ew w/ tofu and eggs. I thought they tasted as good as the dishes with meat. There were a total of 11 people in the class. Jam was feeling under the weather, but you wouldn't have known it. We all stood around an island while Jam explained the dish and the ingredients while guiding us on what to do next. The island was split up in three burners so there were 3-4 people making a serving of each dish. It was interactive and we all were able to contribute. She gave us a hard copy of the recipes at the beginning of class, and you can chose to follow them/take notes. There were a lot of leftovers and some brought them to go. It was a little warm inside. They needed to crank up the temperature just a wee bit. They also ran out of Thai tea. We ordered 5 but they only had enough to make 1. I do agree with the other reviewers about the cost of the class. I wouldn't have paid the full price for this type of class and am glad we purchased a Groupon. Overall, we had a great time. We left there full and more knowledgeable about Thai cooking.
