Sitting up close to the kitchen, we got to see them cook and plate their appetizers, entree and desserts dishes from scratch, incorporating the ingredients that were given to them. Throughout the cooking, we also interacted with the chefs, asking them about the dishes, and also getting some samples of the dishes before they were served. We arrived for Sunday dinner reservation right on time. It was small space with about 20 spots. BYOB place, no cork fee. Half of the seat were around the kitchen. There was a scoring sheet for each guest with names of both chefs, the ingredients of the day and the rules. The chefs got 45 minutes for preparing their appetizers, 35 minutes for entree and 20 minutes for desserts. It was impressive to see both chefs were precise with their timing. The dishes prepared by both chefs were so masterful, had intricacy of combining the ingredients and coming up with some sumptuous flavors. Salmon and steaks were cooked perfectly. It was extremely difficult to score the chefs on barest of margins and pick a winner. But per the rules I did pick Chef Ryan Beegel over Chef Alexis Sicklick. The host was also super nice and funny. She did a super job of explaining all aspects of the dinner, cleaning out plates after each round and serving all the drinks. Truly it was one of a kind TV Show like experience for us.

My precious nephew booked Chef Denis to come to his apartment to teach us a cooking class for my…read morebirthday. So I flew up to NYC from Florida, so excited about my special gift. I had told everyone at home about what I was doing, and how much I was looking forward to it, and how cool it was. And then Chef Denis canceled the day before our reservation. I know things can happen but he did not use the word "emergency" when leaving his message that he was canceling. Fortunately I have world's greatest nephew so he took me to an amazing Italian restaurant, instead, for my birthday, after we spent a glorious day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And he bought me beautiful earrings. He really is the greatest nephew. I had a wonderful birthday. When considering this business, I think it's important to know that canceling can, and does, happen, and apparently in the absence of an emergency.

This isn't an intense cooking class, just in case you're wondering but it really can't be because it's designed as a fun group activity. Therefore, everything is prepped really well and with basic kitchen skills you and your team can prepare the food. I did learn a good onion dicing technique that I used the next day. In any event, our supervising chef was Ryan and he was great. Really energetic and helpful. There was plenty of work to do for all of us and the time went by quickly. When it came time to eat, we were all very hungry. I thought all the food was delicious. I was surprised at how generous the portions were, especially the dessert. Of course that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing. This was a really nice group activity and the staff there do a great job of getting things done so the program moves along without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend this for a corporate event.

Review for Jeff Seligman…read more I have taken classes with chef  Jeff Seligman for ten years. His communication skills are quite strong, able to quickly answer questions about how ingredients affect flavor, able to explain how cooking methods affect the outcome. He has a terrific memory and long on patience, and a strong sense of humor. Over the ten years I've learned the importance of mis en place. I've learned when making the dish appealing in appearance is critical to the outcome. The ten years of classes contained a wide breath of dishes. We were constantly learning and Jeff would help us learn to fix a recipe to improve the outcome. His vast experience was very evident and unique. It made class interesting and desirable to attend.

He is extremely creative in how he uses ingredients, and one of the best things he taught us was how to experiment while sticking to recipes. Finally, he uses a lot of anecdotes while cooking - this also helped internalize a lot of learning and techniques.

What an amazing experience!…read more I did a cooking class with Marla as a team bonding experience for newly elected board members. We had so much fun cooking together and laughing with Marla. The class was extremely informative while being lighthearted. We all learned so much and left with both the recipes and a list of new kitchen tools and gadgets we all wanted. Menu: - Whipped ricotta crostini with honeycomb - Butternut squash soup with frizzled shallots - Butterflied roasted chicken with rosemary, lemon and garlic - Roasted root vegetables - Lemon cream tart with berries Cannot wait to book again!

Marla explained not only the how, but the why behind the cooking.

I'm now making it weekly! I would and will definitely return for another class to do a new experiences with different dishes. Highly recommended for either personal lessons (1-2 people) or a group session!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!…read more I had a splendid time learning about the Guyanese culture and cuisine when I went to a Sweet Savoring Cooking Party. Our chef - who grew up in Guyana - showed us how to make a traditional "Pepper Pot", which is a delicious and strong-flavored meat stew with cinnamon and cassareep (a sweet, brown sauce made from cassava root). We also made a Sorrel drink, using dried red leaves of the Sorrel tree, ginger and cloves. (Of course, our alchie group unanimously voted to spike the drink too, which made it even yummier!) To top off the party, we had milky Soursop popsicles for dessert. Perfect for a date night, meeting people, and just learning about cultures and cuisines.
