Before cooking, Chef Alex started on the dessert chocolate molten cake with ice cream which we ate at the end of the class - it was delicious. During our class, we made a spinach salad, lobster mash, asparagus, and filet minion it was all delicious. We learned new cooking techniques which I am excited to use at home. The atmosphere was laid back, clean, organized, and welcoming. The people in our class were nice. Ingredients were already organized for us. All we had to do was cut up, season, or mix the ingredients. Chef Alex and Andreas were nice. If at any point I had any questions, Chef Alex would easily clarify any confusions. My husband and I look forward to signing up for more classes. Tip: If you are interested in taking one of Kitchen Social's cooking classes, sign up for the class you want ahead of time. During the winter season, most of the classes are booked weeks in advanced.

This was my second class. The first class I took was great…read more The chef was very prepared. They ask in advance if there are dietary restrictions. I am a gluten free vegetarian. Chef made sure restrictions were made and I was still able to enjoy the same meal as everyone else. The second class I took last night was awful. The chef was not prepared. I did not get the same meal as everyone else and only received carrots and mushrooms. There was no protein included in this meal and no starch. In addition he kept telling the class he had to do things special for me; so inappropriate. I doubt I can recommend this business to anyone.

As my wife was approaching a milestone birthday, I wanted to do something truly special for her. We…read moredecided to host 24 of our close friends at our community center to celebrate the occasion. After searching online, I found 5 Star Catering and connected with Chef Shabo. From start to finish, Chef Shabo was outstanding. He came to our home and prepared Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna, and both dishes were delicious! What made it even better was that we didn't have to worry about a thing.

My husband and I recently attended a cooking master class at Sweet Revenge with a group of friends,…read moreand we had such a wonderful time! It turned into the perfect date night while also being a fun outing with friends. The chef was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the class enjoyable for everyone, whether you love to cook or are just looking for a unique experience. We'll definitely be back! If you're in the area, don't miss their fresh pastries and sourdough bread on Saturdays and Sundays. Everything looks and tastes amazing! I was also excited to find out they make beautiful custom wedding cakes and cookies, and I'll definitely be ordering from them in the future. Another bonus is that there's a charming flower shop right next door, so you can pick up a beautiful bouquet along with some delicious pastries. It makes for a perfect little outing. Highly recommend Sweet Revenge for a fun date night, a girls' night out, or a memorable experience with family and friends. You won't be disappointed!

Chef Z truly outdid himself in our Napa Adventure cooking class. It ended up being a small group…read moreand we are thankful it wasn't canceled because most places would've probably rescheduled due to it being a small class. It was our first time and we arrived 30 mins early to enjoy our bottle of wine and learn more about our evening and what to expect. Our seats and area was already ready for each group to participate. We first received some AMAZING already made bruschetta, wow we devoured it. Next we began making our Port Wine Twice Baked Sweet Potato Souffle (Sweet potato, baked with Port Wine Cheese, thyme, rosemary, and butter) delicious! Then our Big Cali Salad (Romane, Avocado, Radishes, Cucumber, and Snap peas tossed together with a Red wine Vinaigrette) so filling and refreshing! Before making our main entree we made our dessert which was Tropical Citrus Prosecco Gelato (Nectarine, Pineapple, and champagne come together to create a wonderfully bright light gelato) in order for it to be ready after our dinner. Lastly we made our entree which was the delicious Strawberry Cabernet Barbeque Chicken (Chicken Roasted with Strawberry Cabernet Barbeque sauce).. everything was so good! The atmosphere was great, we got to know the other couple as well as our chef. Chef Z took the time to explain everything to detail and answer any questions we had, while showing us the steps you can see his view on a large TV which is great so you can see what he is doing and explaining. Very fun! At the end there was so much dessert we even took some leftovers home to share with the rest of our family. I truly enjoyed the experience and food! I hate cooking and it made it very easy and entertaining. We will be back and bring my boyfriend's parents to join us next time! Thank you again Chef Z!
