    Really good class to leverage your knife handling skills. Which additionally provides comforting preventative techniques to avoid injury. The soup we made in class, was pretty delish, & unfortunately we had leftovers (that I highly doubt would be wasted). However, I wish I knew we could've taken some home in advance. As I would've brought a container w/ me. So, I could relish my tastebuds in it more. This Recreational Cooking School is very beneficial for the Seasonal job lifestyle I am currently engaging in, & I plan to return more than thrice. To become even more familiar, comfortable, & better at honing everything from a fundamentals to intermediate culinary environment!!
  • Bake + Take: Homemade Holiday Candy

    Anonymous review on 12/18/2022
    Class was really fun and the teacher, Erica, was excellent. The one disappointment was that I communicated with the school a month ahead of the class that my son had a nut allergy and would need some accommodation m and this was not communicated to the teacher. Fortunately we were early to class so she was able to have a nut alternative delivered before we got too far under way. Given that this is a serious medical issue I was very disappointed that the ball was dropped.

    We had a blast learning the fundamentals of bagel baking with Chef Erica. She did a great job of walking us through all the steps, keeping us on track, and graciously answering many questions throughout. She also shared some fun history, as well as the underly science. She made the whole process very entertaining! We'd definitely do it again.

    Erica was very nice and prompt but the class lacked equipment. there was 1 pot, 1 broken burner, and all we did was watch her most of the time, it was supposed to be a full participation class according to the description, but all we did was watch Erica then finally at 8:15 we rushed to coat the truffles and make the candy canes at the last 20-30 minutes of the class...Wow we got to take turns stirring the ganache, for 5 seconds each, we should have had our own batches to make. The batches were so small and there was 10 people in the class. Very disappointing and won’t book with u again. This was my 3 cookie or chocolate class in 2 weeks and the only one that was good was with Katie in Brooklyn, the macaroon class in the hotel in NY and this one were the worst. Very disappointing

    I joined Erica for the basking basic class last night - and I have to say it exceeded all expectations. Erica was so fun, easy going, and knowledgeable. We were lucky and there were only 4 of us in the class, so we got a lot of attention! Erica took the time to explain the science behind everything we were doing - along with many Great British Bake Off references. She baked a bread baguette for us that we ate during the class with lashings of butter. And we made a fruit pie each, one large chocolate torte, and multiple cream puffs. All of which were divvied up to take home. All of them were delicious and I am keen to practice it all at home now. We all got a chance to practice the techniques that Erica taught.. I really recommend this class, and would be very keen to join Erica for any others that she hosts.

    The class was great and we really enjoyed it. The chocolate goodies we made were delicious and the teacher did a great job explaining things but we would have preferred that we made our own candys and the teacher kept track of who’s tray was who’s. There were others licking their fingers and double dipping hands into sprinkle bowls, touching their hair and face and not washing before putting hands in items, etc. The class in itself was great but the teacher should have been more concious of this and either stopped it or prevented it. At least make people wear gloves if you aren’t going to divvy up the students food separately.

You get to cut/mix/sauté etc… so don’t get your nails done before this class! Erica pays attention to you so you never feel unsafe or feel alone. You can ask her any questions anytime during the class and she makes you feel very welcomed. You cook over 3 dishes (maybe even 4 or 5?) each class so prepare to be busy! Also after the class, you get to eat what you made. Before this class, I was intimidated to cook whole fish or whole chicken, but now I feel much more comfortable cooking them and eating all amazing dishes. I strongly recommend this class to anyone who love to cook, eat and have a great time!

    This was my favorite course I've ever taken. Erica is such a fun, informative, kind, patient and engaging instructor. The class is small enough that you all get to participate in every part of the meal preparation, and it's done at the perfect pace - not rushed/stressful, and yet you still end up making a bunch of food. Speaking of which, you get to eat all the food that was prepared during the class at the very end, and these meals are better than what you would get at a restaurant (personal pride not withstanding). I came in as an absolute beginner, and now I feel a lot more comfortable using a knife, sauteing, roasting, blanching, frying meats on a skillet, and above all, generously applying salt to all of my dishes. Highly recommend this course for a fun, educational, and hands-on experience.

    I like Erika. She is entertaining and she explains how things are done step by step. Best of all, she assigns tasks so that you get to participate in the class. The class was fun and festive. On the other hand, I do want to leave some feedback about this class. The title of this class says Pho. So one would naturally imagine and reasonably expect that the class is going to spend some time on how to develop the rich flavor and aroma in this amazing dish. I do understand that the broth takes a long time to cook so that the amazing flavors can be extracted during the cooking process. When we started the class, the stock was already cooking for two hours. This part is okay. Then what we did basically was throw the vegetables and spices in the soup and then walked away. It was until at the end of the class that we covered on how to assemble this pho dish. I came to this class expecting how to develop the great broth. However, I was a bit disappointed that I did not get to learn what I hoped for. In all honesty, all these other dishes were great too, but I am fully willing to pay for the whole class just to learn the secret to develop the wonderful broth. All the other dishes are bells and whistles to me. And I was not satisfied with the broth that we developed in the end. I was not satisfied with the class but I was happy with the instructor. That's why I gave it a neutral rating.

    I really enjoyed today's class and was sure to attend Erica's class because of her energy and humor. She has such interesting tidbits about every ingredient and process in the recipes. A total food nerd, which is awesome. Everyone gets to try to make all the recipes instead of splitting into groups to do different recipes, and they are also really delectable. People love the stuff I make from a previous class, so I'm excited to incorporate these Middle Eastern dishes into my repertoire.

    Erica was an excellent teacher. Very encouraging and involved with her class - and one can see this through the way that she interacts with her students. Will definitely look into taking another class with Erica at some point. Great atmosphere, company, decor, and most importantly, a delicious meal. Would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a pasta-making course!

    This course was taught by a lovely, friendly, knowledgeable woman. We appreciated her honesty, feedback and knowledge of cooking and food. She was a great teacher, and we enjoyed learning from her. The school is small, with a maximum of 10 students in a class. This allows it to be intimate, so you get to know the people you're spending the next 3 hours with, and that adds to the interest and fun. Most importantly, the food we cooked was wholesome and delicious, and we now feel like we are able to make something gourmet easily at home. We would most certainly return for another class, though cost is a determining factor in when that will be. Cooking class is a bit pricy, for sure!

    This class was great. However, CourseHorse had the wrong time listed. It began at 6pm and Coursehorse posted it would begin at 6:30.

    I spent this class learning things I'd never known before. I didn't even know how to hold a knife, didn't understand the importance of seasoning, or how to even tell a pan is hot. I took a bunch of notes and will practice everything I learned in that class. I had a wonderful experience and plan to take more at this cooking school.
