Gifted this experience to my son and 2 of his friends for his 22nd birthday. They all had a blast and their smiles in the videos/pics they took made my mama heart glow. Trying to tech him to enjoy experiences and being in the present and they had only great things to say about Chef Catalina and the awesome meal they made. Highly recommend!!!

Chef Catalina was great. The class was informative and fun. I wish the class was more hands on. The Class Pop site did not show the correct menu, we expected to be making squid ink paella and crème brule.

If this is your first cooking experience, the format has one cooking station and everyone in the class will participate in chopping, mixing, peeling, etc to make the 3 dishes as a whole. You can ask questions to the chef and learn tricks and tips. I enjoyed the class very much. It's a great way to learn new flavors and taste ingredients right then and there. A great way to enjoy the night by yourself or with a friend within a group

I love to cook and have always wanted to take on Thai food, but have been hesitant because I could never get the ingredients quite right. Chef Catalina broke down all barriers for me! First of all, she has an AMAZING teaching kitchen that is perfect for instruction. She was extremely organized - had all the ingredients laid out for our group of 7 so that we could easily work and watch. And, she was very knowledgable and professional. She explained what we were doing and why. When she spoke about the ingredients, she also had the packaging available so we could see what to purchase and, importantly, she told us where to find them and what to look for. I particularly liked that she did not "take over" and let the participants actually participate in the process! We made a balanced meal - spicy papaya salad, a vegetable curry and shrimp pad Thai. Everything was good and I feel confident that I can not only make everything again, but can now venture in the area of Thai cooking!

Chef Catalina was a great instructor and the entire experience was fun. We lucked out and had a funny group and it made the time that much more memorable. 5 stars, no scam here :)

Lisa

23 Feb 2022

We had a good time and having only 4 people in the class was a bonus! Catalina was friendly and knowledgeable. The only reason why we gave 4 stars is because it would of been nice to have a recipe to take home to be able to make the dish on our own. I understand a lot of it is taste preference but to have a basic recipe would of be great!

Randy

The class was a fun experience to try. My only suggestion would be to have more food available so people can take home some leftovers and to limit the class size so the space isn’t cramped.
