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!!

An unforgettable cooking class--pure joy from start to finish!…read more I cannot rave enough about this cooking class. Four friends and I signed up on a whim, and it turned into one of the most memorable evenings we've had together in ages. The highlight was learning how to make fresh fettuccine from scratch--yes, from scratch--and somehow the instructor Jason made the whole process feel both totally doable and ridiculously fun. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and buzzing with good energy. Jason was patient, hilarious, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through every step without ever making it feel intimidating. Before long, we were kneading dough, rolling it out like pros, and cheering each other on as our pasta strands got longer and more impressive. And the best part? Sitting down together at the end to enjoy the meal we created. The pasta was unbelievably fresh--silky, tender, and honestly better than many restaurant dishes I've had. Unfortunately, we ate so fast. We forgot to take a picture! Sharing that meal with friends made it even more special. After we ate, we were entertained by the fabulous Yuiza Beach! A local entertainer from Rogers Park. She was funny and charismatic, and kept us in stitches the whole time! Her performance was as fabulous as she was If you're looking for a unique, hands-on experience that blends learning, laughter, and seriously delicious food, this class is a must. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

First off, it was just six of us in the class including us four, which was nice because it was not too chaotic or crammed. We were welcomed by the very friendly staff the second we walked in the door and they immediately showed us where to sign in, put our belongings, and offered us complimentary wine and an appetizer (caprese salad). The building is very nicely decorated and has such a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen was spacious and all of the appliances and utensils were in great condition. For this specific class, we were taught how to make shrimp & scallop ceviche, a balsamic rosemary marinated skirt steak, pesto pasta salad, and a peach dessert with rum sauce and ice cream. The staff was so great during the entire class. They were very helpful. Our chef, Nichelle, showed us techniques such as how to make cutting with a knife easier and how to properly cook our steaks over a stove top. The staff played music throughout the class and were always walking around seeing if anyone needed help and also cleaning our utensils as the class went on. The food we made was DELICIOUS. I'm so happy they let us keep our recipe cards because I will definitely make these dishes again. We found this class through Groupon and also the owner gave us coupons to use for our next class. I would recommend this class for anyone- especially date nights or a girls night out. I think the guys had even more fun than we did. I will definitely be back!

The food really did blow me away because everything tasted like high-end fine dining quality but at a fraction of its price. The drinks were also quite good and they also have wine pairings too. For the main dishes I really like their desserts; they were just not too sweet and just right. For the appetizers I think I like some more than the others. For example the steak at the time was very good; the chicken was a little bland and for the appetizer we all tried different ones too. Overall great experience. Whether your friend, our students at Kendall, were there or not, I think this is a great place to get a very good value for a meal

My husband and I landed on the "Thanksgiving Feast" menu to get us prepped and excited for the upcoming holidays. Our instructor, Stephanie, was wonderful! Took the time to explain technique and the "why" behind what we were doing, whereas, other classes are just running through a recipe. The format of these classes was really unique too. Instead of breaking off into smaller groups to cook individual meals, you work together as a class to cook a single meal. Once everything is all said and done, you sit down family-style and dig in! Needless to say, we had an incredible time, and are planning on incorporating some of the recipes into our own Thanksgiving tradition!
