There are only a handful of places to take private cooking classes and there were only a couple available to teach us. I found another place through this cozymeal, and they were able to find me a chef but I had no clue where we'd be (location wise - kitchen, house..). I just couldn't trust that we'd be in a location as cute as La Cuisine. So I decided to book with them since Yelp has such cute pictures of the inside.. my only worry was the very few reviews. But I took that chance and when we arrived everything looked exactly what people posted on here..but even cuter! Chef Paru & Sophia were so welcoming and per the group - they were both attentive but also giving us enough space to try on our own. Also, didn't realize my cutting technique was wrong until taking this class haha! I rarely cook, but now I know going forward! I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for great instruction and something a somewhat intimate vibes and not within a standard industrial kitchen. GF & Instagram friendly lol Thanks Chef Paru & Sophia!

Along with a few other parties learned to make a Caesar salad, steak, and chocolate soufflé. We were greeted with essentially bottomless pours of wine and a charcuterie board. It was a fun few hours of bantering with strangers and in the setting of cooking. Very low stress with simple instructions (even though I butchered the egg count, but the hosts were nice enough to give me a new bath of eggs). Meal was served thanksgiving style with plenty to go around. We were all left very full and tipsy afterwards. Would def recommend again with a group a friends. And the aesthetic is very cute!

I still make the pizzas she taught me almost 6 months later. I'm walking away from experience wiser and excited to cook. You will not regret taking a chance and learning from her!

I appreciate people like Chef Christine because she has a unique vegan perspective on cooking and food. She's all about creativity in the kitchen and not compromising in taste while cooking healthy. She's introduced me to healthy foods I've never tried before such as tempeh and kale. Now whenever I go to the market, I'm on the lookout for healthier alternatives and green veggies I haven't tried before. And may I also add she's a fantastic baker? Her vegan cupcakes are indistinguishable from non-vegan ones and they are quite scrumptious. Thumbs up.
