As a culinary student with dietary restrictions, there was absolutely no hesitation in accommodating my requests, and THAT speaks for itself.

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.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS SCHOOL, AT THIS LOCATION OR ANY OTHER! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN!…read more I enrolled in February 2014 for their professional cooking program at their Syosset, NY location. At first glance they make everything seem perfect, the staff pretends to be friendly and caring, everything looks professional and legit. They signed me up for financial aid, taking out a few grand in student loans and arranging for me to pay the remaining balance in monthly payments of $60. I started classes and for the first few weeks everything was fine, after that the truth of this school started to reveal itself. Slowly but surely I began to see that almost all of the students were coming to school high or drunk, with zero consequences enforced by the administration. Actually, it seems like they cater to degenerates so long as they're getting their money. Chef Mick was my class instructor, and in the beginning I really admired him and thought he was a person I could learn so much from - not at all true. The guy is a shady crook with a fake smile, and a line of b*llsh*t. All he cares about is his paycheck collected on the backs of the students tricked into enrolling with big promises. The students in my class, with the exception of one, were a joke. All fresh out of jail, or heading back to jail at any given moment. One of the students in my class was a 20 something year old male with a history of mental problems, and allegedly suffering from autism. WHY a school would sign him up for a cooking program and provide him with a set of professional KNIVES is beyond me - but they did. He slowly began to crack over the course of weeks, one time he got in my face and cursed me out for absolutely no reason - I complained to the school and they did nothing, except force him to apologize. After the forced apology his behavior degenerated even further, and about a week later he attacked me in the middle of class. Bear in mind I am a female, he got in my face, put me in a headlock and punched me numerous times in my face and head. In the middle of the kitchen classroom, with a handful of witnesses who saw the whole thing. The school put us in separate rooms, let him LEAVE and take a cab back home, and kept me sequestered by myself. The school REFUSED to call the police, and told me if I wanted the police called I would have to do it myself from my cell phone. Of course I did, and the second I made that call to the police I could see their demeanors change. Immediately the administration took an attitude with me, and I could see that they were only concerned with avoiding police involvement and a public scandal. The police arrived, took my statement and photographed my swollen face. The kid responsible was arrested two days later and charged with assault, he is still awaiting sentencing. The best part is this - there were cameras in the classroom that caught the whole assault. On video I can be seen trying to push the guy away from me in self defense right before he begins punching me. The school took the stance, that me pushing him away in self defense was me being involved in the fight, and kicked BOTH of us out of school!!!! I was kicked out of school for trying to defend myself when being assaulted by a male!! I fully believe they got rid of me because I involved the police, and they didn't like it. They showed ZERO sympathy to the fact that I had just been attacked on school grounds. Keep in mind - I was a straight A student at the top of my class, the ONLY straight A student at the top of my class, but that didn't matter. I was kicked out 5 months into my 9 month program, and am now left stuck with paying for my student loans AND having the school waste no time putting me into collections for the money I owe them. THIS SCHOOL PUT ME IN DEBT FOR BEING THE VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The assault left me depressed and traumatized for quite a while, and still affects me to this day. I was so excited to attend culinary school and follow my passions, and this school destroyed that with ZERO care or remorse. I had read some negative reviews for Star prior to enrolling, but I foolishly ignored them because they did not pertain to the Syosset location - HUGE MISTAKE! ALL OF THEIR LOCATIONS ARE CORRUPT! DO NOT TRUST THEM. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THEM. RESEARCH SCHOOLS AND TRUST THESE REVIEWS, I WISH I HAD!

We sat at the chef's table and had a limited 4 course selection to choose from. It began with a wonderful tuna crudo that was light and almost summery with the strawberries and cucumbers that surprisingly complimented the incredibly flavorful tuna. The spinach gnudi was a small salad that also had a number of components I would have never dreamed to combine, but they all paired nicely with each other. The main course was a lamb that was perfectly cooked, and though I didn't care for the accompaniment of figs, the rest of the dish more than made up for it. To finish off, we ended with asian pear crisp. You don't often see Asian pears incorporated into cooking. However, Asian pears actually being one of my favorite fruits this was welcome surprise and fantastic way to end the evening. Or so it would be, had they not brought out an additional crem bruele for my birthday, which was also excellent. I very very much enjoyed my meal here and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. Sitting at the chef's table is also a special treat as I thoroughly enjoyed watching that process that is traditionally kept behind closed doors. I will definitely be making a return trip whether it's for new menu offerings or to try one of their cooking classes.

There were 4 courses, each one with 3-4 choices for diners to pick from. We sat at the chef's counter so we got to see how the staff worked and how the entrees were put together.

Overall an expensive but worthwhile experience, great for celebrating special occasions.

This was such an amazing experience to with two incredible chefs dual it out on three courses, over…read morethree hours. 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.

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!
