    We've taken 2 classes here so far and have had an amazing experience both times. The first time was…read morethe Italian cooking class, and the most recent time this weekend was the French Steakhouse class. Both were excellent and you learn a lot, but definitely have different vibes. The Italian class was super lively and there was a lot for everyone to help out with. I forgot the name of the Chef who was the lead that night but he was helpful and funny! Chef Ed and Chef Jojo were a great duo who did the most recent French Steakhouse class we did. Chef Ed was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly! This class was a smaller size too so it was personable, whereas the Italian class was pretty large, which there was nothing wrong with at all, just a different energy! During the French steakhouse class we didn't help AS much as I remember during the Italian class, but like I said we still learned a lot! One thing to note is if you take this class in the evening, you're cooking and prepping everything first obviously so you won't get to eat until later in the night. Thankfully, they do provide small apps to munch on when you get hungry, so that was great! Not to mention the wine and soft drinks you helped yourself to! You definitely work up an appetite by the end, and it's really rewarding when you finally sit down and eat what you've been watching and making all night! The food was delicious both times and it's a full dinner with an appetizer, main, and dessert! Overall, my fiancé and I love the SelfUp cooking classes and recommend them to everyone! We're already signed up for another one in the future!!

    I went to an italian date night class in Boston and loved the mix of pre-made food and hands-on…read morecooking. We got demos for everything that wasn't made by us but enjoyed the foods that our chef chose for us to make, such as the burrata! We had wine, cheese, meat, and focaccia when we got there and made our dessert, burrata, and pasta before assembling the whole meal. There was plenty of food to take home and we left stuffed! Our class happened at the start of a snow storm so only about 14-16 out of 20 people came which helped create a more intimate setting.

    Oops ~ I forgot to mention that Liz accepts catering jobs only by personal referral. Nonetheless,…read moreI am SO happy I just had to put it in writing. -------------------------------- Liz and her catering staff more than ably took care of our, um, large (65+!) party this past weekend. Each and every task was attended to with professionalism, warmth, and absolute attention to detail (they completely cleaned the kitchen AND vacuumed before they left!). The food and its presentation were fabulous, and, combined with the beautiful atmosphere Liz created, made our housewarming a complete success. Many of our guests commented that ours was the best party they had ever been to (smile!!!). I recommend Liz Barbour's Creative Feast with complete confidence.
