He was very entertaining and the cooking contest gave us all a lot of laughs. We loved the buffet dinner that followed that was delicious and healthy. I look forward to going back for some cooking lessons and perhaps other parties. We also appreciated the BYOB option where they supplied all the glassware and ice but we could purchase our own alcoholic beverages. Alex was very accommodating with our schedule since some guests arrived late and did not rush us out even though the party was scheduled to end at 9. They allowed us to take home our leftovers which was also kind and generous. It is definitely not a budget option for a party but less expensive than other cooking school options we explored.

What an enjoyable experience! I'm thrilled about the class's social atmosphere, with the instructor…read moresharing lots of amusing jokes and attendees engaging in lively conversation throughout the evening. The class setup was excellent, with ample room and neatly arranged cooking utensils for easy food preparation. I appreciated that the instructor handled some of the more laborious tasks before we started cooking. He prepared ingredients in front of us, sharing interesting facts about the cuisine and demonstrating excellent knife skills to ensure freshness and engagement. The 90 minutes flew by as we learned various techniques and explored different ingredients. The instructor guided us through each step, from managing the cooking flame to perfecting our knife skills, ensuring a well-prepared and delicious final dish. As someone who has no experience in the kitchen and was very scared of cooking, the instructor Alex made sure everyone was at ease and would walk around to help as needed. I'm eager to attend more classes here in the future and bring along some friends to share in the experience.

They also offer cooking classes, which I probably won't take advantage of but I do love attending a cooking class, so I will not say never.

I must say the deviled eggs had the best flavor I've ever tasted. But really everything was scrumptious from the panzanella salad to the chicken tetrazzini ending on a delicious cherry pecan scone dessert. Loved the whole setup and great casual/fun atmosphere.

Cooking Canvas really holds a special place in my family and I heart because I remember when it first opened and we were so excited to attend our first local cooking class event that didn't involve us having to drive all the way downtown or to the north side. So we've attended classes here and hosted many private events here. Always a great time. BYOB and music.

Both were very personable and patient with our loud and sometimes rowdy bunch. We made 6 drinks and had appetizers for our group of 10. Everything was laid out perfectly and the quality of the mixers and ingredients was good. I appreciated the music and back drop to take pictures. If I ever want to have another party of this type, I'd definitely come back. Perfect place for a date night or kids cooking Party, too. Overall, great experience!!

Terrible experience--bordering on fraudulent! After I paid $80 for my friend and me to attend a…read morecooking class, CWTBC canceled the class twice. The second time, I received absolutely no notice of the cancellation. When I requested my money back rather than be forced to wait for the next class (and risk another cancellation from this unreliable company), I was told no reimbursements would be made, citing policy. In the same conversation, the owner of this company yelled at me to "shut up while I expain." Apparently, it's Cooking with the Best Chef's policy that they can twice cancel a class, once without notification, and STILL keep their customer's money, forcing them to reinvest the funds in the next class offered. I went through Better Business Bureau to request my money back, and Bill ignored that as well. All I can do is encourage prospective clients to run like hell if you want to avoid a similar nightmarish experience. I'm still out $80.
