Chef Alice hosted our group of 10 people while we were in Ft. Lauderdale for a business trip. She was so gracious and hosted a great team building event for us. My group learned a few cooking technIques as we prepared a 3-course meal. Alice assisted us with the techniques and taught us some cool cooking tricks. She makes the cooking process simple and fun. Alice is really informative about cooking and overall kitchen knowledge and has a great sense of humor. We got to plan out the menu with her in advance and chose a variety of delicious bites. This team building cooking class is BYOB and is a fun experience for anyone! read more

Dear Chef Alice, Thank you for all you do! From the first outreach to you for information, through the planning and final event, you consistently delivered a first-class experience. Bringing together our remote teams with new and old members alike, we couldn't have imagined a more welcoming, informative, and warm environment to bond. The food was amazing, and the experience beat all expectations. You really have created a special place to bond. We are so grateful to have found you! read more

Chef Alice Cooking Classes & Demos - Cheers Alice! - Cooking Schools Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Just took the Wok and Roll class with Chef Alice. It was such an amazing evening. It's such a lovely environment taking a class in someone's home, and I learned so much. Chef Alice is clearly very knowledgeable, and strikes a great balance between making sure you learn and have fun. I now have the confidence to make potstickers. Won't be buying those from the store anymore. Thanks for a great time Chef. read more

I have to admit I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to cooking classes. As a fairly accomplished cook with a number of food restrictions, I'm always afraid I won't learn anything new or have anything to eat! Boy was I WRONG! Chef Alice is a phenomenal chef, a thoughtful and considerate educator and just an all around good human :) She carefully considered my requests and tailored an outstanding cooking/prepping lesson for me and my bestie. It was so much fun but at the same time mind blowingly informative! I learned SO MUCH about food, technique, preparation and the beauty of a meal simply prepared with fresh, sustainable ingredients. Don't walk-RUN-to sign up for a class with your spouse, girlfriends or even by yourself...you'll be so glad you did! Thank you Chef Alice for a wonderful experience. My soca batter is resting on the counter :-) read more

AWESOME!! This was one of the coolest, most fun, delicious, and totally exciting evenings we have had. Alice is amazing and her skills at teaching were beyond any expectations. Stop reading this and reserve a night with her. Especially fun with friends. read more

I had a great time with Chef Alice, she's very patient and understanding which is hard even for a teacher to find these days. I will definitely be coming back for more classes and referring other people that want to take up cooking more seriously for themselves. read more

Oh wow, I don't even know where to start. My entire experience here was simply AMAZING! Chef Alice went above & beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful time... and she totally succeeded! As we entered she had the room already set up, she was so warm & welcoming. We chose the Thai menu, and she had really nice Asian music playing softly to set the mood. She also prepared some delicious edamame. It was sooo yummy, the perfect balance of savory flavor. As we began, Chef Alice took the time to show us the basic technique to make sure we were safe during the class. This was such a nice touch! Throughout the class, Chef Alice shared so many tips, fun facts & funny tidbits. I really felt as if I have known her for years! Now... the food. Our entire group couldn't believe we made it! The food came out delicious. Restaurant quality & perfectly matched to the chosen flavor profile. I loved that Chef Alice timed our dinner perfectly so we were able to sit down & enjoy our appetizer as she added the finishing touches. She also served the food family style so we could truly enjoy our experience. Overall, this experience was beyond amazing. I cannot wait to come back with my husband for date night. This was such an incredible experience. I could not recommend this enough! I had sooo much fun, the food was delicious, and Chef Alice really is just perfect. I truly feel like I could apply a lot of the skills I learned tonight to my everyday meals. (Plus, she emails you all the recipes the following day, how nice!) I have never done anything like this before but I'll gladly be back! read more

From Chef Alice's warm welcome to the mango infused iced tea, edamame, cucumber salad, Thai corn fritters and sweet chili sauce to the Panang chicken curry, pineapple and mango Loy Gaew, everything was superb! I had such an enjoyable evening, meeting everyone, slicing, preparing and cooking. It was all delicious and such fun. I appreciated her immaculate home, organizational skills, and Chef Alice sharing her knowledge of ingredients and preparation. I am still on a "high" from last night! To me, the icing on the cake was seeing the love and admiration for her husband and him reciprocating! What a perfect evening! I met with my team this morning and suggested a cooking class with Chef Alice as a team building event. They were all in agreement, especially when they saw my enthusiasm! Thank you Chef Alice, for a lovely and delicious evening! read more

Chef Alice is simply amazing! I wanted to do a cooking class for my sisters birthday but did not know where to begin. I found her on yelp, gave her a call and I'm thankful i did. From the beginning she was very informative and helpful. She knew i was not completely sure of what i wanted to do, so she talked everything out with me and help me design the perfect evening for my sister. We chose the cuisine, Thai, and she explained the appetizer, entree and dessert she would teach us how to make. The communication was very well between us, she sent a follow up email that was easy for me to forward to my friends and to ensure we were on the same page. Her prices are exceptional, definitely a great value. When we arrived she had edamame and a nice pineapple tea available for us. Aprons and name tags with all of our names on them. She made it a point to address all 10 of us by name the entire time. The meals we made were delicious and easy to follow. I learned a lot of cooking skills, tips and tricks. I enjoyed this experience so much and i literally try to think of another reason or event to go back. The food was phenomenal and her custom service was amazing. She made the class very interactive and allowed us to be ourselves. read more

I purchased a gift certificate for my brother's birthday and his wife for an Italian cooking class. My brother was extremely happy with the experience and loved his birthday gift. Chef Alice made them feel very comfortable; they loved how hands-one the class was, and how they learn new cooking tricks. If you're looking for a unique gift, I highly recommend booking a class with chef Alice. It would make for an incredible gift and an unforgettable experience! read more

What an entertaining evening. Great cooking skills learned, wonderful food prepared, and an engaging evening with strangers who became friends. Most importantly, Chef Alice has a knack for making everyone comfortable with humor, wit and her boundless energy. I would highly recommend a class (oh, and come hungry as there was way more than anyone could eat when done!). 5-stars. We will be back for another class for sure. read more

My boyfriend surprised me for our one year anniversary with a private cooking class with Chef Alice at her home. It was by far a wonderful experience and Chef Alice was so gracious and a great instructor. I cook quite often but I left her class learning so much more and I've found myself implementing the things I picked up from her. From start to finish, I could not have asked for a better date night. I highly recommend Chef Alice for any occasion. My boyfriend told me Chef Alice gave him several menu options for him to choose from and he picked the Mediterranean menu which included a fattoush salad, grilled lamb with couscous and a delicious ice cream sundae! Awesome experience, if you have any hesitations, just do it and book a class with her. I'm looking froward to going to her in the future for one on one classes to advance my cooking skills. read more

I had a wonderful time with learning to cook new recipes, gaining knowledge of new spices and cooking techniques, and bonding with my team from a professional organization I belong to.

I highly recommend Chef Alice weather you are learning to prepare new meals, having a social gathering, or team building with your colleagues! read more

This past Christmas, my husband and I were given a very special gift from our daughter and son-in-law....a gift certificate for Chef Alice Cooking Class! We looked over the choices and dates online and chose "That's Greek to Me!" We had never done anything like this before but no worries!...we were clearly guided through all of the meal prep. It was all very FUN! Chef Alice was so organized and an excellent teacher. She definitely knows cooking! And what a treat to sit down and enjoy the food we'd all prepared together...it was delicious! I would highly recommend giving yourself or someone else this wonderful gift of fun and learning! read more

Alice is fantastic! A group of us found her on google as we wanted to do a fun team building activity. She was so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun!!!

Chef Alice is a wonderful teacher and helped our 17 year old and my husband and I learn essential kniving skills while on a family vacation. We made a yummy Yucatán Mexican menu and chef Alice gave us numerous tips from picking the right produce, how to season food, and we had a blast creating family memories. Thanks Chef Alice! read more

Great experience! I had never taken a cooking class before, and Chef Alice made cooking a challenging French dinner an enjoyable night! My boyfriend and I had a great time. I would definitely recommend Chef Alice for both the novice and expert cook. read more

A meaningful dinner on date night!!! Chef Alice is absolutely the best! Her classes weave a delicious tapestry of tastes, humor, life lessons and skills in the culinary arts; all while providing you the opportunity to get to know a truly delightful person and Master Chef, Alice! Chef Alice personifies the adage "food is love" as she allows you a glimpse into her loving marriage and family while providing you with hands on lessons in how to nurture yourself,  your spouse, and most importantly your relationship, through focused cooperative work together towards a mutual goal - an exquisite dinner!  What could be better for couples on date night??? Nothing! read more

Chef Alice came highly recommended by a friend and she exceeded my expectations! She was so warm and welcoming and made everyone feel at ease. She added personal touches for my daughter to feel special for her birthday. Chef Alice is a kind, patient person and it's really obvious she loves what she does. That combination made for a relaxing environment where we could both learn and have fun! read more

I have taken numerous classes with Chef Alice: Thai, Indian, French Bistro, Tapas, Global Appetizers/Hors'd oeuvres & Caribbean! I'm even scheduled to take the Southeast Asian next month! This is something I do as a "Girls Night Out" with my friends and we enjoy it immensely! I learn something new every time I attend; cultural tidbits from the area of study, introducing new spices into my dishes for unique flavor combinations, and proper knife skills. The class usually lasts about 3-4 hours which ends with a sit down dinner to enjoy what you've prepared. It is very fast paced, and you will be on your feet, so make sure you wear flats! The chef exhibits extreme professionalism, vast knowledge, & even a bit of humor! I work in Group Sales at a nearby resort, and recommend her to my clients for both team-building & Group Demonstrations as something they can do here as part of their stay! I have always gotten rave reviews from my customers who have brought in up to 50 people at a time to see one of her Demo's! So long story short....I can now properly chop an Onion, Make French Onion Soup better than any restaurant, & grind up my own Garam Masala spice! The great food, company of friends, and new skills are well worth the money for the memorable experience! Don't forget your camera! read more

She's awesome! Had a great time with Chef Alice. We went for a friends birthday. She kept us engaged by educating us throughout meal prep. She also made sure we were working on something so everyone always had a task. Some notes: -There is no drinking during meal prep. At first I thought thats no fun! Who wants to chop things sober with sharp knives?! Rubbish! I completely understand its for safety reasons. Plus, we had plenty to talk about and learn. -Its in her home. This is what makes its so intimate and family style. Shes so inviting and welcoming! Definitely perfect for couples or small groups. read more

We went to Chef Alice for a cooking class for my friends birthday and it was fabulous!!! She even joined in on the surprise! The class was fun and had a great flow. It's perfect if you want a more intimate experience for a cooking class. The food was absolutely amazing! A 10/10 experience! read more

Last night I had the pleasure of taking a Mediterranean Vegetarian cooking class with Chef Alice, and it was wonderful! The classes are held in her home, which is easy to get to, and plenty of parking. The classes are capped at some point (I assume) due to space, and in the class that I took it was five participants, including myself. When I arrived, Chef Alice had a nice appetizer already done and ready for us to enjoy, and she did explain how to make the appetizer a bit, plus she included the recipe for us to make at home. In our group there was a gentleman celebrating his birthday, and Alice had decorated the room for his birthday, which was very sweet. Once we started, the process was easy and well organized. We made a very delicious yogurt rice soup with chick peas, bulgur salad with fresh herbs and edamame, and an apricot sundae with pistachios. I loved every single thing that we made! Our dishes were flavorful, refreshing, easy to execute and had great presentation. Once our meals were fully prepared, we set the table and sat down to eat as a group. At this point of the experience we have all become friends, and it was a truly lovely experience to enjoy dinner with everyone, including Chef Alice. The conversation was very lively and positive, and we were all in awe of how delicious everything turned out. You don't realize the final dish until you see it all come together. Chef Alice also does something very nice -- she plates our dishes and serves us our food. I appreciate that personal touch! I will add that I have taken cooking lessons in the past and while her set-up is not like a traditional cooking school, I do feel that I actually learned more from my class with Chef Alice than I have in other schools. I think it's due to her personality and her desire to share tips and ideas with us. She really does go out of her way to explain everything in a way that's easy, and enjoyable. I will definitely re-create the recipes that I learned, and I will be back for more classes with Chef Alice. As much as I loved learning, and trust me, you will learn from Chef Alice, my favorite part was at the end when we all sat down for dinner, shared a glass of wine and just got to enjoy time with new friends. Very enjoyable evening! Go, go, go...you'll be happy that you did! read more

My boyfriend and I took the Spanish tapas cooking class on Valentine's Day with Chef Alice and she made it a romantic and unique experience. This was such a refreshing and enjoyable way to celebrate instead of going out to a crowded restaurant. As we walked in, we were greeted with a beautifully decorated Valentine's Day themed table, pleasant music playing in the background, and candles lit which really set the mood for the night. Alice had already prepped a few appetizers for us including bacon wrapped dates with chorizo, which was my absolute favorite! We joined 3 other lovely couples who were soo lively and amusing. We all laughed the night away and had fun cooking together. Throughout the class, Alice gave us many helpful tips and tricks that we can use in our everyday cooking including how to hold and use a knife properly. Our main course was pork tenderloin with salsa verde and papatas bavas and it was soo yummy and cooked to perfection, by us! It was like a meal from a fine dining restaurant but even better. Alice has a great personality and sense of humor. She makes the class entertaining while being super organized and timing everything to perfection. When you take a Chef Alice cooking class, you definitely get a hands-on experience. Such a lovely and perfect evening. We can't wait to go back for an Indian themed class! read more

My daughter knows how much I love soup, so for Christmas she gave me and her mother in law a soup cooking class with Chef Alice. It was better than 5 star! Did not think I would enjoy the class but was so pleased that I can't wait to take another cooking class from Chef Alice. Learned many tricks from Chef Alice to save time and to make cooking easy and non-stressful. I'm seventy years old and thought what could she teach me? Chef Alice taught me and nine other students lots of practical tips and I'm grateful. Never too old to learn! Thank you Chef Alice, can't wait to come back. Another lefty, Mary D' read more

We got my 19 year old son and his girlfriend a cooking class for the holidays. He only felt comfortable microwaving food before!!! But they RAVED over Chef Alice's class and said it was the best holiday gift ever!!! They said she was a great teacher, very patient and so funny. They loved the menu, and said it was such a fun night out. Will definitely send them back for more classes. Maybe one day soon he can cook us dinner!! Thanks Chef Alice read more

My sister and I took her son and our nephew to Alice's cooking class. We chose to cook Thai food. Alice was so great with my two nephews. Patient, kind and she has a great sense of humor. Ever since she met us at the fire, it was a fun and excellent learning experience. If you are looking for something to do on vacation, definitely call Alice for a cooking class. read more

What an incredible amount of fun and learning! Chef Alice was a pro that showed me (a 65-year-old Southerner) how to cook Indian food. Learning that I could incorporate new spices into my old dishes and make some incredible new recipes was key to the class's success. She was not rushed and was incredibly organized. We laughed as much as we ate. I plan to go back often--what a great night. Yonnie Palmer read more

Chef Alice simply invites you along on her journey to teach you what she knows about great cuisine, preparation and presentation. And she does it with grace & humor.

I definitely recommend classes with Chef Alice. This was the second time we took classes with Chef Alice. My daughter wanted to have her birthday party with Alice because the first class was soo much fun. Chef Alice goes above and beyond to make an occasion special. She explains everything you are going to do and makes sure everyone leaves with the knowledge about using the cooking tools, how to prepare the food, and cook the food. You get to make a delicious meal as well. It's such a fun experience! read more

The Thai Cuisine Class with Chef Alice was amazing! It was such a unique and great learning experience. I am a vegetarian and she was able to accommodate all my needs even though I was part of a group class with non-vegetarians. She explained every technique and step very thoroughly. You can tell she is very experienced and knowledgeable about each cuisine. She will explain how and where to buy the ingredients you need plus suggestions on what kitchen utensils to use. I would love to do other classes with her again soon. The food turned out amazing. Like wow! She received us with mango tea and edamame which was very nice. She also taught us how to use different kitchen utensils, including knifes. She made sure everyone was safe throughout the class, you could tell safety is very important to her. read more

Chef Alice is the absolute best cooking class experience you can find and I've actually done a few. The food is amazing and she really knows how to show you a good time while teaching you so much. I've taken the class twice and the second time was even better than the first. I've used a lot of the things she taught me in my kitchen at home, this is a first class experience. Thanks so much! read more

Chef Alice is amazing! Due to Hurricane Irma our schedule was pushed back and she was accommodating in every way. We arrived not knowing what to expect, but Chef Alice immediately made us feel right at home. She had everything laid out in a perfect, organized manner. Her patience with us was unprecedented. Each step of the way we did the work while she assisted only when necessary. This is the way to truly learn. The meal choices were broad and each dish was beyond perfection. I can't believe we were able to product such 5-star excellence. This was a special birthday treat for us and it was something we will never forget. We fell like the one lesson opened up our world while gaining a true friend. Thanks Alice! read more

Although these classes are in her home, Chef Alice does a nice job of making the environment professional and the menus diverse. If you're looking for a hands-on experience, this is the place for you. She offers mostly classes with southeast asian cuisine, but she's also available to book private sessions for a reasonable price for more mainstream options. (I plan to do that with her sometime in the fall) I would highly recommend Chef Alice. read more

I surprised my girlfriend with a private cooking class for two with Chef Alice recently. I knew she enjoyed italian food but wanted something more unique so Chef Alice created a Islands of the Mediterrean menu for our class. The menu included an appetizer (made special from Chef Alice) Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus with homemade pita chips, a mixed greens salad with a homemade olive vinegarette with socca, Morroccan Lamb Tangine with Couscous, and a roasted pear sundae with balsamic caramel. Everything was delicious. Chef Alice's passion for cooking was noticable in the way that she thought us how to cook. From the proper techniques with knife skills, basic sautee, cleaning of vegatables, and organizational techniques around the kitchen and for your meal, she really brought the food preparation to life. Her knowledge was well rounded (check out her menu options for your event) and skills that can be seen on televison from 5 star chefs. Her sense of humor will have you laughing the entire time. Chef Alice's kitchen is amazing! From the decor and lighting to the professional appliances, this place makes you feel like you are at the studio. Chef Alice is very polite and well mannered. Considerate and thoughtful too. She really made our evening special and is something that we plan on doing again soon. I would recommend Chef Alice to anyone looking to further your kitchen area techniques. read more

Took a private Thai cooking class with Chef Alice and was very impressed by the attention to detail and preparation that went into the class.

Highly recommend her if you're looking for a cooking class. read more
