    Pasta carbonara
    Alana T.

    I had an incredible night here for my best friends birthday. We made pasta carbonara and cannoli's and Chef Anne-Marie was amazing! She was so patient with such a large group. I have taken other cooking classes elsewhere and this place exceeded my expectations. I love how we did each step together. The entire team was there to help when needed. I loved the separate room on the patio where we were able to eat our meal. We had a beautiful evening. I can't wait to come back!!

    Rolling out the Gnocchi
    Lou D.

    5 Plus plus Truly a super experience! We Went to the gnocchi class. Wow, wow, wow. We were walked through making the most delicious gnocchi by an extremely professionally and experienced chef and support staff. The place is operating room clean, neat and efficient. You will prepare your meal under professional supervision from scratch base ingredients. The pro staff walks you through each ingredient and takes the time to explain the food science to make the perfect meal. You will also receive instruction and utilize some of the finest high end appliances and commercial grade kitchen equipment. The class is appropriate for all levels of users. The staff are not only pros in the kitchen but great presenters and teachers. The end result was some of the best Gnocchi that i have ever had. I wouldn't be surprised if some grandmas get upset with them for giving away the secret to super fantastic gnocchi! Highly recommended! This is a great idea for couples, friends, families. or even individuals. The atmosphere is relaxing, welcoming, safe, interactive, and friendly. I will be going back!

    We had our work Christmas party here and our chef was Christopher. The staff was friendly, attentive and patient! They gave us a cooking lesson and not only were we using quality ingredients but everything came out delicious. We all had a wonderful time, I would definitely return.

    Kitchen for cooking class

    This was my first visit to The Babylon Mercantile, and I was not disappointed! The front of the shop, is retail store...cooking supplies and whatnot. But what happens in the back kitchen...makes this place so much fun! I have always wanted to take a cooking class and I'm so happy I chose The Babylon Mercantile! I'm addicted. Chef Chris made a intimidating recipe of beef Wellington seem not so difficult! (I mean let's be real, it is not so simple haha). I was sure I'd mess it up somehow, but everyone in the class, our Wellingtons came out amazing! The staff was patient with all of us, helping us when needed. I have already booked another class, for my 40th birthday! And I cannot wait! Highly recommend.

    I have taken three classes here so far with way more to come in the new year! Can't recommend this place enough for cooking classes. I have taken a class both by myself and two with a friend! It's a perfect for a friends date, romantic date, mother/daughter, etc. I was also nervous to take my first class by myself but Chef Chris made me super comfortable and it was a fantastic experience. They walk you through every step and the whole experience is very hands on. I've taken many cooking classes around the world and it's amazing to have such a great place right here on LI! I've taken the Filipino Siopao, Samosas, and Arroz Con Pollo classes. That's the benefit of this place as well they have a huge range of classes! You can keep learning new things! A great gift for the holidays. Highly recommend. Oh and you get plenty to eat, and it's always delicious.

    Took the Roman Holy Trinity Pasta Sauce class. Chef Chris and his kitchen staff were amazing! They were helpful, personable and knowledgeable! It was a truly fun night out! Can't wait to do it again!

    This was from the Coq au vin and Creme Brulee class we took!!! It was insanely delicious!!

    This is a jewel in the Village !! The classes are such a great way to do something different. I've had a private birthday party and a business Christmas Party, both went so well. I also love that you can take a class with the selection of upcoming classes. They also have children & teen classes!! So happy they are right in the Village on Main Street

It was very fun getting to cook together. The food was good and very easy to make. The demonstration happens at the beginning of the class, so having the instruction handout was very helpful when something was forgotten. Bad: Instructions ALL in the beginning. Unfortunately, there was snow on the day of my class, so we arrived late. We missed a good portion of the class in the beginning, so we missed how some of the equipment is turned on. It is also very difficult to remember all the step all at once if you are not an experience cook. They also only give a certain amount of sauces; I thought that some of the food could used more soy sauce but they only give you a set amount to use. Highlights: This would be very good with a group of 4 because they have the set up where you are facing another couple while you cook. I would recommend getting there early to settle and make a drink selection to have wine while you cook! If you need help, don't be afraid to ask; the chef is walking around to help everyone out. On to my next adventure...

    Great things are big reasons to celebrate! Birthdays, a 200th review and becoming an Elite All…read moreStar!! So, in honor of all these accomplishments, I'm dedicating my 200th review to Chef Lance, who helped make my birthday on Jan 27th perfect, very special and exactly what I had hoped for on many levels! From my first conversation with Chef Lance, I knew I found a wonderful Chef, and person! He replied to my initial contact within an hour of messenging him. Through our many emails and texts, together we created a menu that well exceeded 5 stars!! My birthday dinner was prepared in my home for my family, 6 people total! Dinner was called for at 7:30 and Chef Lance arrived at my home around 4:00 to set up and begin preparations. He was so cordial, knowledgeable and his stories of becoming a chef and all his experiences through the years fascinated me! Now for the good stuff, my menu.... Coconut Shrimp appetizer, Penne alla Vodka, Salad, Chicken Francaise and Honey Glazed Carrots. The entire night felt like we were eating in a very cozy restaurant! Chef Lance plated every dish and we enjoyed it all tremendously! Everything was just delicious! I have to point out certain things that stood out to me: the chicken was purchased from a butcher, jumbo shrimp were used and so incredibly fresh and succulent! The coconut was toasted beforehand and the homemade dipping sauce was nothing like anything I have ever had before. It was fruit based with an Asian twist, just fantastic! Because Penne alla Vodka is a favorite in my family, an extra batch was made so everyone could take some home to enjoy again! After dinner, my kitchen was completely cleaned and all dishes, pots, etc were washed. My daughters BF bought a cheescake for dessert so at that point it was time for Chef Lance to leave. From start to finish, he was in my home for almost 5 hours! I can't rave enough what an experience having a chef prepare an intimate dinner was like! If you are looking for someone who will exceed every expectation you may have, Chef Lance is who you should contact. There's no doubt I will be seeing him in my home again! Chef Lance, thank you for a birthday dinner experience I will never forget!!

    Chef Lance did a fabulous job cooking a dinner party for 6 people celebrating some milestone…read morebirthdays. We did have some food/allergy issues with the group and Lance worked with us to create a menu that would work for everyone. It was truly a magical evening and I highly recommend him!!
