    Nice people there, but the cooking studio needs updating and to be cleaner. When our corporate group arrived, one of the two owner-operators was wearing a dirty "chef's" jacket. Baseboard molding was missing, vent covers were rusty. Bathroom was tacky decorated with old dirty floor tiles. The owner-operators didn't teach us much in the way of cooking skills, but were friendly and welcoming, and did help us to prepare a very tasty dinner. Provided fondue dessert was generic / cheap (marshmallows and pretzels) and not as good as the dinner was.

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 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!

However, the way the billing was handled was extremely disappointing and honestly very misleading. I was told that adding two additional guests would not be a problem, and at no point was I informed there would be an extra $150 charge. To only bring this up after the event is unacceptable. That kind of information should be clearly communicated at the time the request is made so customers can make an informed decision. What made matters worse was receiving a final email stating that my deposit would be kept because of those additional guests. That is completely unprofessional. I paid $2,772.20 for a pizza-making class for 17 kids and 16 adults, and in reality, only 15 kids and 15 adults attended--and only about 8 adults even participated in making pizza. There were no additional materials or accommodations that would justify keeping the deposit. While the event itself was a success, the lack of transparency and the decision to keep the deposit left a very bad impression. Customers should not have to deal with surprise charges after the fact.

It was a fun time once you get into making it with your group. The food turned out mostly good. But you can taste where it may have gone wrong and you can do better trying similar recipes. For example the salad may have been on the sweeter side but there was lots of flavor to it and it was up to the maker of that dressing to suit their taste. Or the pasta was a little tough so maybe it was undercooked. I started to pick up on things like that, which hopefully will improve my own skills for other things I cook. Overall it was a good experience. It was a little on the pricey side as it was mainly giving the right ingredients and quantity so you can not make mistakes. The demo where they teach you things, was okay to miss unless you're cooking for the very first time. So the value I received from it didn't match the price but I think it was a positive experience especially going with people I know

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.

Plus the french press we purchased came with sample of their coffee. Great space that I will definitely come back to for future gifts.
