★★★★★Heather MillsI have been wanting to try one of Chef John’s classes. Highly recommend!! We joined for a date night and had so much fun and the food was delicious. We left stuff! Looking forward to returning in the future!
★★★★★Ashley WilsonMy husband and I decided last minute to take a class. We are so glad we did! So fun and so informative! We will for sure be back! Chef John was amazing!
★★★★★Heather SimmonsI took my mom to a Southern seafood class for her birthday. Let's be honest, it was a treat for me too. We had so much fun and although I cook quite a bit, I still learned quite a few things. I was impressed by chef John's focus on efficiency and effectiveness in prepping the food. As someone who cooks on a nightly basis, these are both important to me everyday. The food was delicious and the recipes were easy enough for novice working in a group to follow. So if you don't cook regularly, don't fear. I know to money this seems kind of a expensive entertainment, but quality food is not cheap, nor is having someone do much of your prep work, clean up, provide all of the equipment, etc. I would do this again.
★★★★★Catia Marie LewisIt was our first time at The Cutting Edge for the French Croissant and Danish Pastry class and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Heather was an amazing teacher and showed us making these pastries isn’t as daunting as it appears. By making your own pastries, it really makes you appreciate the time bakeries put into making them and makes the price of them really reasonable. We had a full class and it was perfect that we came with four people to divide up the tasks, but still all have a hands-on experience. You’re given an option to purchase alcohol during the class and there was an array of beverages. We were gifted this class for Christmas and really enjoyed ourselves and looking forward to coming again! If you’re thinking about a gift or a date night, this is a great idea.
★★★★★Charlie YeuroukisVery fun, truly. Come hungry and be prepared to be a little out of your element. You learn great things and eat well. The chef and staff are a joy and know their stuff. 10/10 will go again.
