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.

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. One of the dishes we made was pasta from scratch - it was so well explained and fun that after just that one class, I felt confident enough to make it on my own - thinking back to Marla's tips & explanations made it super simple. 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!

Booked the Italian Date Night cooking class as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, HUGE MISTAKE…read more Chef Jerry was rude from the start, yelling during check-in and then making us move seats for someone he said was his "friend". He repeatedly used explicit language, made inappropriate jokes, and even mimicked doing cocaine with grated cheese. We left within 10 minutes because it was that uncomfortable. The venue was also not romantic at all. It was basically a shut down cheap hotel breakfast bar, completely misaligned with a "date night" experience. To make matters worse, the company was slow to respond afterward and refused to issue a refund, even after acknowledging the experience was mishandled. Disappointing experience and poor customer service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously.

I cannot recommend Tara highly enough. I found Tara as a referral from a friend who raved about…read moreher, but having experienced her being our private chef for the night I don't think he went far enough! Tara recreated our wedding menu from the place card alone, it was French theamed and multi course, including three different entrees (we ate well!) and along with her server Suzette they made our evening. Friendly, timely, amazing food, low pressure, cleaned everything up behind them, played with the dog! They did everything for us that night so all we had to do was roll into bed after they left! Tara mentioned she does events from small (we were just 2 ppl) up to 100+ Will use again. And I cannot wait.

We wanted to make it special, but during these difficult times it was very hard to find a place that would accommodate any private seating. That's until my husband found Chef Tara. She opened up her beautiful home and allowed us to create the most memorable 5 year anniversary, and most memorable dinner we will ever have. Chefs Tara skills in the kitchen are truly like no other. She created the most beautiful five course meal filled with everything we love. The octopus was one of the best ones we ever had. The salad was a perfect light touch and all with seasonal vegetables from her garden. Then we got into the pastas. Both homemade, and both out of this world. We finished our dinner with her Chilean Sea-bass, that could quite honestly be the best one we will ever have. On top of chefs Taras cooking skills, she also was amazing company, and opened up her home/kitchen as if we were apart of the family! Thank you Chef Tara for making our anniversary one to remember. We both look forward to the next time we get to enjoy your company, and your food that makes my mouth water just thinking about!

I came here for a Bday celebration and it was such an amazing idea. It is definitely something to…read moredo with your close friends, you all have fun at it. Ambiance: it is very laid back with table around and music playing in the background as you slowly making your meals. Service: It was really good as the chef was explaining the steps very well and other crew members were cleaning up the small trash we were leaving behind and appliances we finished using them, which kept the table clear and organized. Food: We had the opportunity to learn how to cook Thai food and taste our own cooking which made things rewarding at the end, and it turns out to be delicious. Tip: I would rather leave some type of creativity of people rather than following the steps to the T. I wanted to have a twist when making all dishes but got denied

After everything was done we got to have the food we made along with a delicious salad and ice cream! I highly recommend this place if they have these events often and the location is in a great spot too!

I had so much fun at City Cookin'! There are so many unique things about this class, but let's…read morestart with the fact that it's hosted inside an apartment. Steph, the cooking instructor is a recipe blogger in NYC and developed the idea to provide cooking classes in her own apartment. This way, New Yorkers can learn to cook delicious meals in their tiny, less than welcoming kitchen(ettes.) Steph's apartment is also a very unique space and sits at the very peak (literally) of a tall corner building. The space itself is small, but she has an enormous outdoor patio with beautiful views. The second unique part of this class is that Steph worked to recreate dishes from famous NYC restaurants and gives you the recipes at the end of the class so you'll be able to try them at home. Each class has a different menu, but my class featured: US Open Melon Cocktails Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate Jean-George's Tuna Tartare (my personal fav) Momofuku Brisket Buns Levain Chocolate Walnut Cookies (we didn't actually bake these, but she sent us home with some and the recipe) I recommend this class for any foodies, New Yorkers, couples, roommates, a Mother's Day gift, a bachelorette party, a divorce party, or anyone that wants to see how NYC Cookin' works.
