WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN CARLSBAD & OCEANSIDE

Mary K.

01/20/2025

My husband and I recently took a cooking class here with Chef Donna. Not only did she provide a warm and accepting vibe as we learned our way to creating a fabulous paella, easy to make appetizers and perhaps the best olive oil ice cream in the universe, Chef Donna made it fun and was very kind about my mistakes along the way. She was spot-on with setting us up in an incredibly organized fashion. We also made some new cooking pals, too. So much so that we all signed up for a future class with Chef Donna. Outstanding experience!

The cooking class was phenomenal and Donna was so gracious and knowledgeable. She made the class fun and easy while teaching us all the tips and tricks that professional chefs use. I can't wait to return for more great food and a most enjoyable experience. The Taragon chicken and spinach with warm bacon dressing with a poached egg were delicious, but the chocolate lava cake and creme anglaise was the ultimate chocolate lover's dessert!!! Thank you, Chef Donna!
