    Frank & MJ cooking it up! Steak & Shrimp Chimichurri Thank You  Ant & Nick

    Fun time and good food! Great learning a new recipe and cooking different things!with my love

    Pork dumplings - ate a bunch and realized we didn't take a nice picture.

    Took the dumpling class recently and had such a nice time! The chef was very sweet and gave clear instructions, was super helpful when we were cooking, and made sure we weren't poisoning ourselves lol the quality of the dumplings was pretty good and we made so many we had to pack them up in boxes to go. Definitely a fun place to go on a date or with a friend for a unique experience, good food and you walk away with a yummy recipe.

    Awesome studio! A great place for a date night or activity with friends. My best friend gifted me this experience and I had an amazing time. Our lead chef/instructor was very thorough in her instruction and she had a wonderful personality. She made the experience even better with her enthusiasm! My best friend and I made ropa vieja with a side salad. At first we were nervous that we wouldn't be able to follow the instructions, however once we dove in, things just flowed and we did an awesome job! Our food came out so delicious. I really enjoyed the layout of the facility. Everything was clean and well laid out. This company uses high quality ingredients and it shows. I would highly recommend this place for a night of food and fun! You'll also learn some great cooking tips along the way!

    Great place for a date night, pre-wedding or a family activity if your kids are teenagers. Learn to cook a variety of different items. We went for the gnocchi class. Everything is premeasured and at your station. Two people share the preparation of the food item at each station. The chef does a demo first then you make yours by following the printed instructions. The chef and the assistant are walking around to help you as needed. The assistant mainly takes away the dirty dishes. The two hours pass quickly but you're not rushed. You take home your leftovers. Heads up if you go on a weekend night parking is hard to come by in Patchogue. We'll be back again with friends.

    Loved the vibes perfect for trying something different. They were super accommodating and even gave us extra containers for the extras to take home.

    Absolutely enjoyed my experience here! Luckily, I won a giveaway for tonight. The dish for tonight was Chicken Picata with Risotto. The demonstration was straight forward and my bf and I absolutely loved this experience. I loved the class and I would definitely take another one!

    My husband and I took a cooking class for date night and it was pretty awesome. The way it works is they have all the ingredients and supplies you need at your station ready when you arrive. The chef gives a demo of what you're going to make and then it's your turn. The chef comes around to check in on you and is on hand to answer any questions you have as you prepare your meal. Then you eat! Super fun and really accessible even for those who don't cook (like my husband). The ingredients were all very fresh and our meal came out awesome. I'm also confident I can duplicate it at home. Bonus points because they had a killer playlist the night we were there that many hipster millennial such as myself would appreciate. Minus one star because I found it to be on the expensive side and the parking sucks. Not much they can do about that last one due to their location but allow yourself enough time to circle the lot so you're not late!

    my friend and I had a great time last night at the paella cooking class. The space is really nice and functional, and the overhead screen showing what the chef is doing, was perfect. And the food was delicious, we did good! We had a great experience.

    Gnocchi pesto!

    Really cool setup! Staff is super friendly. Great idea for a couples night out. Beer and wine selection is a nice touch! Would recommend and will go again!

    Manicotti
    Jane T.

    I went to a class today with my friend to make Manicotti and it was amazing! The chef does a demonstration and gives step by step instructions on how to prepare the meal. After the demonstration it's your turn to prepare and cook your meal. Only the freshest ingredients are used! The place is immaculate and beyond clean! After you prepare your meal, you get to enjoy it! You always prepare enough to have leftovers to take home and they provide you with boxes to take your meal home! So if you're looking for something fun and different to do, run, don't walk to The Cooks Studio! Always go with friends too!

    finished product!  these are what was left over after we already ate!

    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!!

    Chef Sebastian was amazing! He really outdid himself with each and every dish. The hors d'oeuvres…read morewere a party favorite. I can't wait until I have another party/event so we can have him back!!

    I'll start off this way, I'm probably the only person whose favorite meal this week in 90° July…read moreweather included half a quart of warm, Smoky Red Pepper Soup with Basil Croutons ($10). I'll admit, a small part of the reason is because I keep my apartment very cold and really love soups. The primary reason though is that I found an executive chef who is a culinary genius that will cater and deliver phenomenal gourmet food directly to my door at very reasonable prices. This was one of the best original soups that I've tasted in a very long while. A great thick, creamy texture, good heat (without being too spicy), and you could taste the flavor of the ingredients, not just get overwhelmed by the red pepper. The taste and texture worked in perfect concert together, just like the cream and the red pepper. I've been paying ten bucks a quart for deli-quality soups during this quarantine. This was certainly in a much different class of quality, for the same exact price. Once people catch on to this amazing value, I'll likely end up paying far more for the same caliber of cuisine. However, supporting a well-deserving and hardworking small business with an honest and positive is more important to me than saving a little money. By the way, in addition to his well-honed, epicurean chops, Chef Sebastian is also a real sweetheart of a guy. I know a lot of great chefs and they're not all...oh, what's a good euphemism to use here? As good at dealing with people as they are with knives. Well, Chef Sebastian is wonderful with both. A true professional and a good person. Alright, now let me review some more of his food. In the late 1990s, I lived in New Orleans. So, I definitely know a thing or two about great-tasting cornbread. Chef Sebastian makes excellent cornbread. Not too crumbly, but also not sticky. There's nice pieces of whole corn and little pieces of jalapenos inside. Remember, I'm not a big fan of spicy, but this cornbread was perfect. Not too spicy and it was pre-cut into small squares for me and filled an entire sizeable container. I've eaten a few pieces with 4 meals already and I still have leftovers. His portions are immense. That goes double for the Slow Smoked Beer Marinated Local Shortrib ($27 with corn and cornbread). I've never been given that much shortrib in a single portion intended for one person. I LOVE his homemade BBQ sauce so much that I used it abundantly, put the shortribs in potato roll buns and served them up similar to pulled pork sandwiches, only these were far better because they were beer marinated shortribs. There was enough for 4.5 overstuffed sandwiches. My executive chef friend ate one, along with a piece of cornbread, and was extremely impressed with both as well. The Smoked Whole Trout ($14) was actually a bit overwhelming. Even with my big appetite, I certainly couldn't finish it. It's an entire large cooked trout. For $14 and hand delivered to your door by the chef himself? Where else will you get that type of value? Nowhere! Certainly not near Port Washington, where I live. I ate half of the fish the first day that the food arrived because obviously it's seafood. Although, I did decide to sneak Chef S's New Jersey grilled corn on the cob into this meal, even though it really came to compliment another dish. I didn't want to wait though. The fish was cooked nicely and traveled very well. A nice thickness, easy to cut the meat away, and just a nice smokey flavor throughout. However, I avoided the recommended horseradish sauce that came with it because I was in the mood for more of a fish flavor. I wasn't disappointed. The corn was tasty too. The 24 Hour Slow Smoked BBQ Pork Shoulder ($21 with corn and cornbread) was another massive creation. Once again, I had leftovers. You can taste the time it took to cook this. Completely fall off-the-bone type of dish and so savory. Extremely tender and also beautifully complimented by Chef's homeade BBQ sauce. Honestly, that stuff could go with anything. It's delicious. Local Jersey Peach Crisp with Homemade Whipped Cream ($7). My favorite dessert from anywhere this month. It's a giant piece made for 2 people, as long as one of them isn't me. LOL. I devoured about 3/4 of it because it was so incredible. Thin fresh peach slices with a deliciously sugary crust. This dessert could start an addiction. Just before writing this paragraph I polished off the remaining 1/4 piece left in my fridge. By the way, his food and containers keep very well. The food is delicious, but the portions are huge! Pickle Spears ($8). These are smaller sized pickle spears. However, there's enough of them to fill the jar and they're obviously pickled that way to provide much more surface area and access to the flavors of Chef's special blend of peppers and seasonings. They're very good. If you like pickles, you'll totally like these. Lots of flavors: garlic, peppers, mustard seeds, and some others. Be careful though, these bite back. Everything is PERFECT!
