She was quick to respond to my questions before the event. Chef Rose greeted us at the door and welcomed us into a fully prepped kitchen. Chef Rose got to work, putting us to work. It was AMAZING. We made the most amazing meal, and we learned so much as well. My husband is a foodie and loves to cook, so I was slightly worried he would be like this is lame. NO WAY - Chef Rose and my husband chatted about olive oil and spices... Chef Rose helped guide me with tips and tricks in the kitchen. I would take several more classes and we plan to! I love how passionate Chef Rose and she is beyond wonderful!

Husband booked the chocolate tart class with Chef Zach as a date night activity - and it was…read moreamazing! Chef Zach provided us a wealth of knowledge on the different types of cocoa (dutch, natural), how to know what's happening with your ganache, how the proportions of liquid to chocolate impact it, infusion of flavors, talked about how best to incorporate ingredients depending on the way in which you choose to do so (by hand, mixer, or food processor) - just a pleasure to learn from and talk to! I'm the baker in the house (although my husband makes amazing souffle's) and I walked away with tips and and tricks that I will definitely be using in the future! I loved seeing and using some of the tools that I didn't even know existed but will definitely be purchasing for my own baking. It was an amazing evening and we look forward to doing another class in the future!

We didn't get to actually…read moredo the class until early May (had to rebook once bc I had a cough that would NOT kick it, and I didn't want to transmit anything). Chef Zach was an absolute gem. :) We parked, walked up to the door, and he opened the front door without us having to knock. He had his entire kitchen prepared for us so that all we had to do was whisk or pour or laugh at his jokes. We made white chocolate mousse with a strawberry sauce. It was absolutely delicious, and he made the entire class effortless. Taught us a lot about chocolate along the way and imparted great advice for an easier time with remaking it. Had a serving each while there, and he sweetly (;)) boxed up our extra servings to-go. Definitely recommend doing his chocolate class! It was a fun date, and the white chocolate mousse just melted in our mouths haha.

I took the French Pastry intensive this past Sunday and based on my experience would highly…read morerecommend this class. I recently moved to Plano and have been researching fun activities to participate in. Running in 90+ degree temps with humidity will tire a girl out! Something needs to be indoors. Enter, an incredible pastry class. I'm no rookie when it comes to culinary classes. I love them! I love cooking and baking and always learn something new from a class. It's something I throughly enjoy. This experience was 5 STARS! Everyone was so warm, friendly, inclusive and kind. We really had the absolute best time. I've been trying to feel a sense of community after relocating and the other students, as one told me are "my people". My week days have been spent in an altogether different environment that regardless of if it's cultural has brought me down in a real way. I was looking for an afternoon of joie. The class was so inviting, hands on and fun! We made a bunch of items, shared snacks and our creations together. On break another student in class gave me a tour of Central Market since I'd never been to one. Grabbing coffee, exchanging business cards with others, bookmarking a ton of new spots to try and learning about other fun activities was truly worth every dollar spent to join this 4hr class. It felt exactly like what I had imagined moving to Texas with Texans would feel like. It attracted the finest residents. I can't wait to return. They have an all star line up of classes and August is hatch chili month. I will surely be signing up for at least one class a month. The florals are also totally worth mentioning, the store and class is adorned in the most incredible arrangements. It really was such a lovely class. Now if I can find someone to teach me Mahjong! The store is also gorgeous! I'm definitely at the age where I couldn't care less about local bars, show me a stunning grocery store! Coming from Los Angeles, dare I say it... Central Market might be better than Erewhon.

Rolled, cut, and filled our pasta. Then enjoyed a feast of our own making. Perfection (maybe not perfect but definitely beautiful and incredibly tasty). Recipes were provided and easy to follow. I will do these at home. And a surprise: Italian creme cupcake for my birthday celebration. Truly a great night. Totally worth it for a family celebration.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Dazore of Cooking in Details! This custom birthday…read morecooking class was everything we hoped for and more. The bread was absolutely stunning and hands down the best we've ever tasted. The salad was simple yet packed with complex, vibrant flavor, and the puttanesca pasta was unforgettable. More than just the food, Chef Dazore was the entire vibe. The three of us were learning, laughing, and fully enjoying every moment. It felt less like a class and more like an experience you didn't want to end--effortless, engaging, and so much fun. Thank you for making babe's birthday such a blast--we'll definitely be back!

I recently attended a culinary week at Gina and Mary's Ecco La Cucina cooking school in Tuscany and…read moreit is now a highlight of my extensive European travels. I recommend it without reservation. Gina and Mary were total professionals, charming and knowledgeable. I was in a class with 9 other people and at the end of the week everybody agreed the experience was fantastic--and a great value for everything we did and saw and learned in that one week. I took hundreds of photos of the estate and the vineyards and artisan farms and towns we visited. I plan on going back next year with 3 of my friends. They have all signed up for the monthly Newsletter in anticipation of our trip! I also recommend Gina's blog--always fun and funny with something new to learn!

I first met Mary and Chef Gina at a Central Market cooking class in January 2010, and I was…read morecompletely captivated by their energy, kindness, and knowledge and love of Italy and Italian cuisine. After getting to know the sisters, I booked a tour for September 2010, which kicked off a month of touring Italy on my own. The trip itself was life-changing, and I still think back to my days in a Tuscan villa with Gina, Mary, and my fellow hungry travelers. First, we had an AMAZING kick-off to our trip with dinner in a Siena piazza alongside members of Gina's contrada as they celebrated their win during the summer's palio event. I'm sure few, if any, Americans can say they've been to such a festival, and I'm so thankful to have had such a unique experience! The rest of the week was full of cooking, amazing food, wine (oh, the wine!), and - most importantly to a shutterbug - loads of photo opps. We met a pig farmer (cinta senese pigs-- super cute, and, coincidentally, delicious) who is also an olive oil taster, we toured vineyards, ate in fantastic restaurants, learned some important Italian phrases, and more. And, I really learned to relax in the kitchen (plus, my friends and family are loving the dishes from Gina's cookbook!). I love a good time, I'm a foodie, a food geek, and just a regular geek, and I just can't say enough good things about this adventure. I'd go back again, and again, and again if my piggy bank and waist-line could handle it! Gina and Mary are passionate professionals, and after my week in Tuscany, they are my friends. Do yourself a favor: go to Italy with Ecco la Cucina, pronto!

I took a cooking class here with my company, and I enjoyed it very much…read more During the class, we made an arugula salad, gnocchi, and steak. Everything was explained really well, and the instructors made the experience fun and easy to follow, even for someone who isn't a professional cook. We made our own dressing for the arugula salad, and when I tell you it was amazing, I thought about that salad for days afterward. It was honestly one of my favorite parts of the class. I had never had gnocchi before, and it was really, really good. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. We also learned some great tips for preparing steak that I wasn't aware of, and I've already started using them at home. Overall, it was a great experience. The class was informative, hands-on, and enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it to others, and I plan on coming back to try the knife skills class and probably a few other classes as well.

Chef Kate led us on a wonderful 2 hour culinary adventure making roasted chicken, kale salad, a Lemon tart, marinated artichokes, and a delicious aioli. The chicken had a golden brown skin, cooked perfectly. Tasty and crispy. The kale salad had a great flavor thanks to the nice dressing that you make. The lemon tart is made first due to the amount of work and steps involved. It is a nice treat to go with the meal. The artichokes are delicious and you add some of the aioli you make and it is so tasty. Probably my favorite part. You do the cooking yourself but Chef Kate guided us from beginning to end. Happily answering all questions. She made everything so easy and instructed us the whole time.. After you take a class you get $10 off another class and 10% off a purchase in the store. You also get the recipes emailed to you.

DO NOT HIRE. Our family booked Chef Dre for a private chef experience to celebrate 2 birthdays…read more People travelled from out of state to attend the event. The chef was booked 2 months in advance with an initial deposit and then the remaining balance paid in full prior to the event. A total of $1,145! 48 hours before the event, Chef Dre cancelled stating that he double booked that day and is now unavailable. To make matters worse, he never refunded the money! We have reported it as fraud. Such a disappointment. Don't let Chef Dre ruin your event and take your money.

I ordered 8 meals for delivery and was told they'd be delivered Sunday between 2-8pm... at 10pm I…read morestill had not heard from the delivery person so I reached out to both him and Dre... delivery person said he expected to deliver closer to 11:30pm! This does not work as I go to bed early and leave by 7am for work... so after exchanging several texts the delivery guy said he would be at my house at 6:15am to deliver... at 6:30a I had not heard a word from anyone so I texted and called, no answer. At 6:50a the delivery guy texted saying he was in his way and would be here in 25 minutes. So 7:15? That's not 6:15. I had to leave for work. I sent Dre a message with my disappointment and the address for delivery to my work. The delivery guy showed up with my meals... and I NEVER HEARD A WORD OF APOLOGY!! The meals were bland and over cooked. My assumption is that they sat in the delivery person's car for hours, unrefrigerated. Everything was extremely dry and several smelled rancid. I'm so disappointed that I wasted my money and allowed these people to waste so much of my time as I sat around and waited for a delivery guy who didn't show up. I will never use this company again.
