I will say that the pace was a bit quicker than my last class, as there was much more to get done, but we kept up, giggles and all. The environment was comfortable, and the staff's attention to detail created a relaxing and enjoyable evening. We didn't have to overthink anything; we could just go with the flow. Everything was prepared for us from start to finish. After cooking, we sat, ate, and were pleasantly surprised to find that, after guessing the right amount of seasoning for our produce and meat, we ended up seasoning everything perfectly to our taste. We look forward to taking more classes and inviting a few more friends to join us.

The shop itself is amazing with so many cooking and kitchen items that you can purchase. I've taken several classes here and as an amateur cook and baker each class was interesting and a learning experience . My first class was making Cavatelli pasta , something I have never made before , what a great class and it came out so yummy ! When you arrive you go into the dining area and before you begin cooking there are complimentary appetizers and wine served! It was so nice ! For my next class I wanted to take something easy and fun so I did the mozzarella and pizza class. That particular class had about 40 people attending .All the chefs were great and kept everyone engage! Recently I attended the class .. Scarpinocc pasta with brown butter and sage sauce and lemon Panacotta but after arriving we learned the initial menu slightly changed . Instead we made ravioli with impastata cheese and fresh chopped tomatoes and basil , also Vanilla honey Panacotta. It all turned out wonderful. When first arriving we had complimentary mimosas and appetizers of riceballs and chicken. This being my first time making ravioli I was very excited ! It was an amazing time and everything we made came out delicious! Along with our meal we were also served a delicious ,freshly made salad with feta cheese ! I'm now looking on their calendar to see what else peaks my interest. Will definitely be taking another class soon ! Thank you to all the wonderful and talented chefs ! Everyone was so friendly , patient and knowledgeable !

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...

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!!

My only disappointment is that they only serve breakfast and lunch, and not dinner. It is a culinary teaching program, and they have limited hours. Their Spring 2025 semester is closing soon on May 15, 2025. It is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 3 P.M. Breakfast is served from 8:30 am to 10:30 am Lunch from 9 am to 2 pm. Twenty-four of us had our monthly luncheon there in April. Everyone raved about their order, and many have been back since bringing their friends. Downtown Riverhead is welcoming to shoppers with ample free municipal parking and increased security. The facility is accessible through the rear door adjacent to the Municipal lot behind 20 Main Street.Our group asked to come back in May. The staff is friendly, the food terrific, and the facility clean. If you walk towards the rear entrance, you will see students working with their teachers. The entire kitchen is on view. Once you place your order, you can wait in the adjacent room looking over Main Street. Staff will bring your order to your table. I failed to mention their selection of desserts and gelato. Not all cakes are available daily since the students learn to bake specific cakes as part of the curriculum. They make a flourless chocolate cake, which is amazing. Their days of operation follow the schedule of Suffolk County Community College.

She prepares meals for my whole family for the week, we just come home at heat it up. It really took the thinking and stress out of our weekly dinners.

Okay, so, I am not a great cook and never mastered basic cooking techniques. I love food, but can…read moreeasily become frustrated if something I cook just doesn't turn out right. My boyfriend and I wanted to try a cooking class for our anniversary, but the costs for going to a public cooking class are often very high. My boyfriend stumbled upon Jesse's website and it seemed really cool (and has pretty pictures), so he reached out. Jesse responds really quickly and we were lucky to secure a time slot for the weekend. Jesse offered to have a quick chat with us over the phone so he could come up with a customized menu for us and set expectations. For example, I don't eat seafood, so Jesse took that into account and made sure there wasn't a shrimp dish. Eventually, we landed on a Mexican taco menu (which was appropriate since Jesse is a master of tacos) because we wanted a menu that we could then easily take and make all the recipes ourselves. Jesse arrived promptly on time and set up his many kitchen tools and supplies in our kitchen. It's great that he can come to you! He was able to adapt easily to our kitchen set-up and get started. He started off with making us a salsa and guacamole so we could nibble as he gave us a ton of fun facts about cooking / food and prepped the other courses. He prints out his recipes so you can take notes as he goes along. The whole thing is very conversational, you never feel like he's talking AT you, but with you. You can ask him questions at any time. I never felt overwhelmed or felt like anything he was making or explaining was too difficult for me. In addition, I learned how to properly cut an onion and how to press tortillas. He had asked us beforehand if we wanted to be more hands-on, so he showed us how to cut the onion or press the tortillas and then we went ahead and helped with the prep. Not only was Jesse super knowledgeable and patient, the food he made was delicious. He even cleans up after cooking, which is a mega bonus! We had enough leftovers for another meal the next day. After taking his private cooking class, we both feel empowered and enthusiastic to learn and cook more. :) I definitely would work with The Maker's Kitchen again. His prices are extremely reasonable for the value you get, you get a very personalized experience (you're not lost in a class of 30), and he's a cool dude. You will learn a lot. You can tell that food is definitely his passion and that he's just trying to do what he loves to do (and educating others so that they hopefully can feel the same!). It's awesome! Thanks Jesse!
