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!!

I grit my teeth and resigned myself to going. I am sooooo glad I did! The ladies who did the class were highly knowledgeable and very friendly. Liz was quite patient and Michelina warm and welcoming, making everyone feel at home. They taught us a lot about the art of pizza making adding personal touches, with a dash of history, and entertaining humor. When the time came for us to start our own creations, they had taught well, so we were ready to go. They were generous with ingredients and guided us through the process. When all was said and done, each of us enjoyed a tasty pizza with enough left over to take some home. Also included in our meal, was a delicious salad with a tasty dessert pizza. Although I was initially reluctant to partake and went due to obligation, I would happily return by choice. All in all, the experience was enjoyable, fun, and delicious!!

This was a fun class where I really learned something about New Orleans cooking. Cheryl was so nice and made us feel so comfortable.

I attended a seafood boil cruise in St. Charles, hosted by Chef Che and also hired heard to cater a private event at my home. The food items at both were outstanding, but the service for both were a bit disappointing. As for the cruise, we pulled off later than scheduled and there was not enough food and daiquiris to go around. Additional food was being prepared at the dock and ultimately those who were missed and wanting more were taken care of. For my home gathering, Chef Che arrived more than an hour late. Chef did offer a discount for her tardiness but in looking at the final bill, it was higher than the original! Lol. Ultimately, she took off about 10%, which is less than hoped but better than nothing. That said, I would use her again but with better understanding and preparation of the time concerns. Would suggested requesting food 2.5 - 4 hours in advance of your private event. It was rather embarrassing to have 75% of my guest there ahead of the caterer.

I know these classes aren't technique driven by any means, but I always come away with a few tips and tricks to apply in my own kitchen, and this was no different. Picked up a few tools to use as well. That being said, if you are looking for a start to finish class, where you prep and do ALL of it, this is not that - I know that is the goal for most people, but there are a few who want a true experience, this again, is more idea based.

Cooking Class- 1 Star* Retail Store - 5 stars *****…read moreMy husband and I took a date night cooking class yesterday, for the beef Wellington meal. I was very turned off by our experience. There was very little "hands on" interaction. The beef was pre-seared, the green beans were already cooked, we watched the desert get made. All we got to do is re-heat the green beans, mince garlic & parsley and wrap the Wellington in dough & suran wrap. The chef was nice, but he talked as if we were 5 year olds. Would have been better suited for children. Also not a great look when you tell us your previous job was being a barista at Starbucks and you got to this job because you wanted to train people. $100/ticket was a waste. Very disappointed with the little interaction.

She provided all our daily meals "breakfeast, lunch and dinner" for 7 days a week. The variety of food choices she supplied us to pick from weekly as well as making many dishes we asked for was wonderful, there was nothing she was not able to make for us. The food was delivered to our home in individual containers for all the different food selections which we would then warm up in the mirco-wave accordingly. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. She provided the receipts for all the purchases each week and the pricing for her services were more than fair. I would not hesitate again to call on Chef Pamela anytime for my catering needs or if we just need help with meals again. She was a life savor!! Keep up with the great home cooking for us all!
