My husband and I attended the Let's Cultivate Food paella class on January 10, 2026, in Chester County, and we had a fabulous time. This was our first cooking class, and we were a little nervous, not quite sure what to expect -- but the hosts immediately put us at ease. The greenhouse was a lovely space. We attended on a rainy winter evening, and I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when everything is in bloom. The class included clear, easy-to-understand instruction, from what to look for when purchasing knives to how to properly slice and dice onions and peppers, along with more advanced tips. The other participants were a friendly mix of rookies and seasoned home cooks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We left with new skills, newfound confidence in the kitchen, and wonderful memories. read more

What a good time!!! My dad gifted my boyfriend and I a certificate to partake in a cooking class since we both enjoy being in the kitchen; and it was the perfect little gift that we didn't even know we needed. I love dim sum so we chose the dumpling class which was pretty cool. The BYOB class ran for 3 hours, and we were split up into 3 groups of 4. We learned about each ingredient, cutlery skills, how to preserve produce, different folding and cooking methods and even got to finish the night out by brûléeing our own cheesecake. What I loved most about this experience was that it took place in such an intimate space. It gave a homey feel, and it was very clean from the kitchen to the studio space which was more or a living room turned into a place for us to gather around--Just super creative and adorable. They are relocating to their new studio in Limrick PA near the outlets, which I hope to go and visit someday. Looking forward to seeing some classes added to their website with more of a variety for pescatarians. I loved that we got a link for recipes and the opportunity to win prizes at the end of the night. They also offer private dinners, catering, mystery dinner/game night, and so much more. I highly recommend supporting this small business, and spreading the word. A++ read more

Excellent experience with LCF! Chef Yoon and Mike were excellent hosts and led my coworkers and I through a wonderful night. We went for a team bonding activity on our trip and truly had a blast! Both Yoon and Mike were patient with our curious group, constantly asking questions, and shared a lot great cooking tips! Chef Yoon walked us through each step of the preparation and explained each step with some very interesting facts. It was a fun mix of learning a technique or skill, then having an opportunity to practice. While our food was being prepared, Yoon and Mike were eager to share best cooking tips to make sure our food turned out perfect. We were excited to get seated and eating! Yoon prepared an excellent meal for us that we all partook in creating! The evening ended with a wonderful dinner accompanied by some fun trivia hosted by Mike. I definitely would recommend this experience to any group and hope to come back soon! read more

I used LCF for my best friends bachelorette night - I wanted to have a private chef dinner to add a little extra fun to our night! And LCF did not disappoint. From the very first communication Yoon was awesome. She made a menu that was everything I could ask for and was super responsive. The night of the dinner - Yoon & Mike were timely and super professional along with just being really nice people. The food was AMAZING. And the bride was so happy with the whole meal and experience. I'm so glad I found LCF and will definitely use them again in the future! read more

Had a great time with the "What the Pho" cooking class! Size of class is small so that you get to know who your with and have a personal experience.

I received a gift card for cooking classes with Let's Cultivate Food but they haven't offered classes in months. It appears they moved out of Philidelphia, where I live, and intended to use the service, so I reached out to them to request a refund since I've been unable to use the gift card and it appears by the time they start offering classes again they won't be available in Philadelphia, where the gift card was intended to be used, but the only reply they sent was that the gift card is nonrefundable. I followed up with more questions but it's been a month and they just stopped responding. read more

The cooking class was informative, enjoyable, and delicious! The price was reasonable compared to other classes and well worth it. I highly recommend this for a date night or with friends. Would definitely try another! read more

I purchased a cooking class as a Christmas gift. My partner was disappointed by the class. The class is beginner level and might be aptly described as recreational. That's not we expected based on the description. It seems like there's a big emphasis on fun and trivia. I contacted the owner to give feedback and express my/our dissatisfaction. The owner responded to my email in a way that made me uncomfortable. She was hostile and paranoid. She searched for my personal information, digging through my social media profiles and then referenced my current place of employment in her response to me. She did not display customer service skills, she did not offer remedy, and it was super weird that she referred to my employer. read more

I used Let's Cultivate Food for a Private Chef dinner at our house. The dinner was a surprise for my wife's 36th birthday. Through the whole process, (inquiry, date confirmation, menu selection, questions, final details, dinner, etc.) LCF was AMAZING and stress free!! I cannot say enough great things about Yoon and Mike and how awesome the experience was. I had to make sure it was a surprise and they were extra careful coming in and setting up quietly while she was upstairs getting ready for a night out. The whole meal was INCREDIBLY delicious and cooked just right. They brought customized menu's with my wife's name on it and made us a delicious green tea drink as a bonus. The system they have in place of cooking and serving was awesome and I really felt like the night was special. Maybe something that is overlooked is how nice it was to have the house left literally exactly how it was found. Everything washed, cleaned and like they were never even there. Did I mention how incredible the food was!? I really cannot day enough good things about LCF and I will definitely be using them in the future for cooking classes and hopefully more special occasions :) read more

Mike and Yoon are wonderful people, had a great time trying and learning different things. Nice intimate setting, very relaxed and enjoyable. They make cooking a blast! Learned new techniques that I would've never known without coming here! read more

We hired Let's Cultivate Food to cater my daughter's graduation party and everyone loved it! The pork and ginger dumplings were the big hit as was the pineapple fried rice. My daughter picked out the apple cinnamon mint iced tea to be served and, despite my doubts, it was delicious! Real apples, cinnamon stick and mint in the tea made the presentation nice also. Yoon was quick to respond, suggested a menu based on our requests, stayed within our budget, was on time to set everything up and truly a pleasure to work with! We ran out of L.C.F brochures during the party because everyone wanted to know who catered the food! If you want something different for your next party, email Yoon and she will make you a menu that everyone will love and remember! read more

We gave my dad an in-home cooking class for Father's Day this year and were lucky enough to find Let's Cultivate Food - and Yoon. Everything was better than we could have planned/imagined. Yoon was super helpful in organizing with us, planning and customizing the menu to cater to our tastes/preferences, etc. We loved the class. It was entertaining and we got great recipes and tips to make delicious food in ways that we all agreed we would actually be able to recreate without having Yoon in our kitchen... not to mention the food was delicious. Not only would I 100% recommend this to anyone, but I am pretty sure my dad is already looking for the next opportunity when he can book another class with Yoon for his friends! read more

Whether you need a caterer that brings inspiring and creative dishes to your event, or you want to learn how to prepare and cook tasty meals in your own home, Let's Cultivate Food is the choice for you. Yoon really is passionate about what she does, and it shows, not only in the delicious dishes she prepares, but in her willingness to meet the customer wherever the location may be. If you decide to have an in-home cooking lesson, she will prepare all the food, and clean up the mess afterwards as well! I've had some of her asian fusion dishes, that STILL have me salivating, as well as a catered Superbowl party that accommodated quite a large crowd. Will definitely be using L.C.F. again in the future! read more

Yoon Lee catered my daughter's baby shower for 22 guests. The entire experience was stress-free from the start, prompt responses to questions, total flexibility in creating the menu (all GF!) and the food was nothing short of amazing! There was something for everyone and enough left over for my daughter to share with overnight guests, they were thrilled! Yoon showed up early with everything needed to create a gorgeous buffet complete with chafing dishes/burners, custom tags, plates, cutlery, cups. Oh, and the strawberry basil infused green tea is a absolute must try, just wonderful. Thank you so much Yoon for making our event even more special! I would give 10 stars if I could :-) read more

Yoon catered a dinner party for 20 people for my husband's 50th birthday. The food was fantastic, and she and her team were easy to work with. And I got to actually enjoy the party! I would highly recommend her. read more

The Dumplings Class was a very delicious, fun and interactive cooking class! The setting was warm and we learned so much in such a short time. Can't wait to try the recipes and to start growing some produce from my leftover scraps ( helpful hints from chef) read more

They did an outstanding job. I was quite impressed by the entire experience. The hosts are great.

Great time! Small intimate classes and really personably people running it. Mike and Chef Yoon are so lovely. Feels like you've been welcomed into their home. Total beginner and learned so much (apparently sweet potatoes and yams are different)! Can't wait to come back! read more

Had so much fun here tonight! My friend got us tickets to do a good class tonight. Half demonstration and half participation. We did the seafood one and it was so great. We lucked out with three great other couples - night full of laughs. Learned some really interesting things about cooking and food. Good tips on prep. It was byob so lots of fun. They said they also do in house stuff and that also sounds like a blast! Thanks so much for an amazing night!!!! read more

After taking a class with my husband, I decided it would be a great way to spend a "girl day" with my sisters, sister-in-laws and Mom. I was definitely right! We arranged this for a Sunday to celebrate my birthday and had a great time. Different level of skills but regardless we all learned something helpful. Dumplings were delicious and lots of laughs with good company including Yoon and Mike who were gracious and ensured all went well. read more

Went here with my girlfriend for her birthday, we both loved it!! Mike and Yoon put in a lot of effort to make you feel right at home, and Yoon is an amazing chef and teacher. They also teach you a little bit about the history and cultural background of each dish. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Very nice people, and an intimate way to learn how to cook. We came in a group of 6 and we learned techniques while enjoying a meal and meeting new people. The hosts\instructors are so very nice and helpful! read more

I cannot recommend against this place enough. I purchased this class as a Mother's Day Gift and we were extremely excited to attend. The day of they sent a "COVID" email asking you if you were unwell and if you had any chronic conditions that may make people uncomfortable. First of all, chronic medical conditions should never be held against a customer. I was honest because my mom has COPD and sometimes (not always) has a cough. I received a call about an hour later from an employee who was very indirect, passive, and unclear. He was trying to tell us we would be forced to wear masks without actually stating we would be required to wear masks because my moms chronic condition would make OTHERS uncomfortable. It was very odd. I then stated "look your beating around the bush, are you saying we are required to wear a mask or not" he abruptly said yes, see you at 7 and hung up on me. It made us feel incredibly unwelcome. I called back a little while later (no answer) left a voicemail saying hey I just want to be sure that nobody will go out of their way to make us feel unwelcome as my moms feelings were hurt and felt like she was punished from something she couldn't control. (PS both of us are vaccinated AND I am an ER physician and would never put others at risk). I never received a call back so we honestly felt like nobody wanted us there and like they were hoping we wouldn't show. We ended up just not going. Lost out on $220 and didn't get to celebrate with what was supposed to be a fun evening with my incredible mom. read more

Yoon and her husband Mike were so hospitable and knowledgeable! The boyfriend and I walked away with bellies full of delicious food (that we made!) and brains full of new recipes and you-wish-you-knew cooking tips. Highly recommend as a fun and interactive date night idea! read more

One of my husband's favorite meals is a recipe we learned from a personal chef dinner with Let's Cultivate Food - the chicken tikki masala. Our time with Yoon was interactive and filled with great tips on how to guarantee a tasty dish. My favorite part was walking away with great recipes on hand - and knowing exactly how to cook it again! I would certainly recommend LCF for anyone wanting to make restaurant-quality food right in the comfort of your own home! read more

My husband and I took a cooking class last night at Let's Cultivate Food! I'll start out by saying the food was amazing ! Yoon was so informative while the class was being presented . She interacted so lovely with her class by asking us questions , letting us volunteer, and giving us tidbits of knowledge along the way . She shared so much ! For example -how to cut a carrot like a flower for garnish to what soy sauce is the best to purchase . I would highly recommend this to friends and family for a fun experience! read more

We had the best time learning to cook with Mike and Yoon! We learned so much and all of the food was delicious! We can't wait to use our tips to make dumplings, scallion pancakes and bulgogi in the future. Highly recommend taking an in-home class with them! read more

Let's Cultivate Food came to our place for an in-home cooking session and the experience was a lot of fun. My friends and I not only learned how to cook several asian-fusion dishes, we also learned a lot of fun facts about them as they provided a fun and interactive trivia game that was presented throughout the night. I'd definitely recommend this, especially as a fun group activity or as a nice creative gift to someone. The thing that stands out about L.C.F. is that they came to us in the comfort of our home, they brought all the ingredients, and they even cleaned up after us! ...it was dining at home with a twist. read more

What a fantastic time making drunken thai noodles and thai slaw and grilled shrimp. Yoon and Mike gave us great instructions, we all played a part in chopping, seasoning, and eating. It was wonderful! I picked up a lot of fun facts and quick tips regarding chopping, veggie buying, oil selections, and many other things. The food that we all helped to prepare tasted delicious. I like to cook, but I'm not a chef, so this went just the right speed for me. I picked up a lot. I would definitely take another class! read more

I had a great experience! Learned a lot about the art of cooking. Highly recommended!!!

Had a great night making sushi for the first time at Let's Cultivate Food! They made it easy to understand and we're the best hosts!

We took the "What the Pho" class and have only great things to say about it. We learned not only how to make different foods (pho, sticky wings, and summer rolls) but also lots of other cool info about spices, oils, cooking techniques, etc. We came hungry and left very full, and had lots of fun along the way! read more

Loved the class. Great interactive class to learn a new skill. Did the sushi class and will now love to make sushi at home
