Highly recommend this for any group event or team building as it gave everyone an opportunity to relax and unwind and get away from the grind while learning new cooking tips and techniques. The property was just so quaint right in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. Can't wait to book my next event.

The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made everything feel fun and approachable. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and I left feeling like I had learned things I can actually use at home. It was a great experience from beginning to end, and I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for something fun, interactive, and memorable. We would definitely do it again!

So on the website, they call it an experience and that is better description than the word class…read more Have you ever missed the kids interrupting the teacher in school? Then, this is for you! They can't really control their guests; that said, the social aspect is heavily encouraged to the detriment of the overall experience. You start off with each person introducing themselves with a fun fact. That eats time that could be spent talking about...I don't know...cooking. The social aspect is mixed in almost literally with your food. You are not just paying for experienced chefs to guide you. You are paying to be grouped with (admittedly friendly) strangers who will kind of ignore the chef and just do their own thing with the meal you will eat later. Unless you are a group of four friends I guess. The unwanted social aspect continues to the end of the night: Where they have each of a us publicly review the experience. Yeah, my review was definitely edited. How are you supposed to say that the very patience the chef's displayed with the chatty guests should have been sharper? They gave a little tip at the end of the night that they say they normally mention during the course of cooking. Yeah, it was not given out earlier because of all the picture taking and socializing. People are definitely having fun. I am admittedly the curmudgeon in this case. This isn't to say that I learned nothing, that the meal was bad, or that I did not have any enjoyment. If anything, it's a good to get out of your comfort zone. I just wish that comfort zone should have been cooking focused, rather than social.

My wife and I have taken several classes from Saddleback Culinary for our date night. You get to…read morelearn about cuisines, make some wonderful food, make things you may normally not try, and get out for the night. For us, it's fun. There are others in the class that are wanting to learn as a profession. My two favorite instructors are Chef Pascal and Chef Stacy (In no particular order). It would be difficult to find more inspirational, seasoned Chef's to guide you through a class. The kitchen environment is 100% professional. Saddleback should be proud of wha they have! The classes are 4-5 hours and the time flies. Lecture, prep, assemble, taste some food!, clean up, and recap. Sounds like a lot, but it is really worth it. I will note; it is work to learn. You will need to prepare food, clean up after yourself (maybe others) and leave the kitchen better than when you got there.

My nine year old son has been attending classes with Chef Savannah for the past nine months and…read moreloves it! He has learned how to prepare various types of pastries and a few other dishes as well, including one of his favorites, biscuits and gravy. Chef Savannah has so much patience with kids of all ages in her classes, which even begin as early as preschool. It has been a great experience for us, and we hope to continue classes for many years to come, with Culinary Connect.

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a dinner by Evan from a friend. My husband and I were…read moreincredibly impressed with each course. Not only was each course prepared so beautifully and tastefully, by I was amazed how he was able to acclimate to my small kitchen so quickly and make each course so seamlessly. We were able to choose our own combination of foods, adjusting to each of our own personal preferences. The outcome was so delicious that I honestly don't know which course I enjoyed more, not to mention the chocolate desert was outstanding! Thank you Evan for a delightful experience with you and your food presentations!

It was very intimate and Evan was so fun to have around. He cooked an amazing shrimp pasta, Brussel sprouts, a grilled Caesar salad, with his home made dressing & for dessert bananas foster! My dad loved his grilled Caesar salad so much he tried replicating it a few days later. We had great conversations with Evan and truly enjoyed having him at our house. He left the kitchen spotless and made it so my family could celebrate my mother! I highly recommend Evan for a personal chef.
