I have to firmly disagree with the previous review. Who the hell goes cooking for a bachelorette…read moreparty anyway? You set yourself up for failure and poorly planned the night. Get over it. We are wellness center comprised of chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and nutrition. I decided to host our company holiday party at the Ridgewood Culinary Studio. Their prices were fair compared to a lot of NYC studios. This is a small, privately owned studio and it comes with its share of limitations (space, decor, etc.). Once you get passed that and intend on having a good time with your group, you will have a good time!! The ladies were very interactive and knowledgeable about our Italian menu. They messed around with each other as well to keep us entertained. We took pictures, took shots, played our own music and had a great time cooking the meal. It actually was less work than I imagined, because our staff was not thrilled about cooking. But everyone had a blast. We also did a gift exchange game after dinner and were served dessert thereafter. I would recommend this studio and this experience to any group of 10-15. Great for holiday parties, kids, dinner parties.

My employer decided this would bE a cool place for a team building activity…read more We were a group of 10. We enjoyed ourselves and learned cooking techniques. I am only giving this place 3 stars because it was dirty. I saw one of the employees cleaning the toilet with NO gloves. That same employee did NOT wash hands and started touching regular kitchen items. I really think this place is and to be great perhaps years and years ago. The staff looks pretty skilled however ai would never recommend others to come here. It neeDs to be cleaner, revamped AND most importantly, hire. A professional cleaning company to clean the space.

Our group selected a cooking class here which included dinner with pasta-making as the only…read morehands-on portion of the evening. We only mixed flour and water together to roll out pasta. For $125/person, I had expected better tasting food though. The small appetizers (spinach salad, prosciutto, Parmesan, olives) may have been put together from a grocery store. For the pasta that we rolled out, the staff only added a plain tomato sauce. The side of vegetables was overcooked and mushy. Tiramisu was all right. We can blame the taste and texture of the pasta on ourselves, because we made it, but I had expected the rest of the food prepared by professionals to be better. No drinks were included -- Healthy Italia is BYOB. There was a nice intro video from the owner telling us about her history and philosophy. She said that she doesn't measure ingredients, and only mixes by feel. How does one teach a cooking class like this? If someone is taking a cooking class, they are less experienced and need precise measurements and instructions. Our flour and water were measured for us, so I guess they do measure something. We were never told the measurements, so didn't have any recipe or any specific learnings to take home. I enjoyed the social time with my group, and especially the long table set out for our group in true Italian fashion. It made us feel like a big cohesive family. However, for $125/person, I felt like we could have had a true learning experience elsewhere or had a much better Italian dinner at a restaurant with drinks. In fact, on the subsequent evening, a few individuals from our group went to a restaurant and ordered similar items served at this cooking class, and the food was remarkably better. And yes, it was less than $125/person with drinks.

Jenna is awesome…read more After completing our online prep survey, we visited Jenna's kitchen as a couple. Jenna is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and has great tips and tricks for the experienced cook and patience for those of us who struggle to use a stove knob. Her recipes are prepared beforehand based on your tastes and are really healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare. I felt like I was on a cooking show. Her kitchen is professional and well-stocked with tools. She is a great conversationalist and keeps the session moving at the right pace, based on the meals you are preparing. This was worth every penny and I highly recommend Cook Learn Live, and Jenna, specifically.

Jenna is wonderful! Working with her was such a treat!…read more My school sponsored a group of us to attend one of her cooking classes, and it was a fantastic experience. The class was not only educational, it was a lot of fun, and definitely a great reprieve from my typical Sunday afternoons spent studying in front of a computer. Jenna did a great job of overseeing the prepping and cooking of the four dishes we had on the menu for the night. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to manage a kitchen full of amateur chefs (half of whom rarely cook at home)...but somehow she managed to do it with grace! Jenna was extremely patient with and open to all of our questions as well. In particular, I thought she did a great job of incorporating the 'why' behind her answers to questions like: What ingredients do you always have on hand? How do you know which spices go well together? What goes into a vegetable stock? I really appreciated how Jenna tailored the class specifically for a group of grad students, focusing on: increasing the nutritional value of our meals, saving time in the kitchen, and all the while cutting down on costs. Three things that I know I DEFINITELY need to do more of! I walked away from the class with an arsenal of new cooking tips, a full belly (plus a few containers of leftovers), and a packet of recipes from the class. Three hours very, very well spent! Thanks for all of your cooking tips, Jenna! For anyone interested in learning how to eat healthier or to be more effective in the kitchen, I would highly, highly recommend her classes!

On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough. She gave us the option off adding heat with a scotch bonnet pepper and showed us a couple of knife techniques to make cutting vegetables easier. We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home. Its great for a date night or friend group activity or even just solo bc everyone became so friendly.

Chef Sue was both personable and informative, and her demos were easy to follow along with the written recipes. During times when food was cooking or cooling, Sue also showed us some knife skills basics/tricks. The class went on for about 3 hours, including the time to eat at the end. I really enjoyed the experience, but in the future would choose a class with a more substantial output. The Latkes and Sufganiyot were both fried carbs, and we ended up grabbing dinner immediately after because we were still hungry for a real meal. Other than that, would recommend!

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.

Let me ask you something - do you really enjoy going to a highway store so you can wait on line and pay to have something gift wrapped? Here it's part of the service they provide. Need a gift basket? They'll make one up for you that's fabulous while you wait. I've been buying gifts, pots, pans, knives, gourmet food stuffs and more at Cooktique since I first moved to Tenafly in 1977 and have never once regretted any purchase. The advice I've gotten has made me a better cook - no kidding at all - and the items they've suggested I buy have made it so much easier for me in the kitchen. Friends of mine who are truly great cooks only shop here. Cooktique is unique and it's fun - come on over, browse their fascinating front windows and then treat yourself by going inside. It's an experience you won't forget. The next time you need a really special gift, want to get a sauce pan that cooks without burning or need olive oil that is amazingly light, you'll know what to do - you'll go to Cooktique.

I stopped in to return some wedding gifts someone had purchased from there that we had registered for else where and the shopkeeper was just lovely. She didn't give us a hard time at all about the returns and helped us pick out some really nice things instead! I even found my olive oil spray bottles there. Plus the french press we purchased came with sample of their coffee. Great space that I will definitely come back to for future gifts.
