My wife and I absolutely loved our experience at the Prickly Pear Cooking Class. We have been…read morewanting to cook at home more often, but we have been running out of ideas of new dishes to cook. We figured taking a cooking class would be a fun date night and provide us with new ideas of food to cook at home. We decided to try the Wood-Fired Pizza class. First, I love the setup of the facilities. The indoor area is spacious and they have a huge outdoor patio with a traditional wood-fired oven. Secondly, the instructors are phenomenal. Avery and Deb are extremely knowledgeable and they make the class fun. Third, I appreciate the fact that they provide recipes for you to take home and they have to go boxes for you to bring home leftovers as well. We definitely plan to cook pizza at home with the recipes. Fourth, the food was amazing. We enjoyed every course. Fifth, I thoroughly enjoyed that this place welcomes BYOB. Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to converse and make friends with other individuals who signed up for the same class. Every part of this experience was fantastic and we plan to return to check out their other classes.

We arranged Chef Danushka in Austin, TX through Cozymeal. We had a great cooking class and really…read moreenjoyed our time with the chef. Chef Danushka is a character and really made the experience fun. Her classes are offered at her house which has a great kitchen and entertaining space. We did a southwestern grill menu. We all got to participate in the making of the meal with different tasks - cutting up veggies, making guacamole and elote corn, grilling the meat, cutting the meat, etc. You can bring your own wine and beer to her classes which we did. We was very accommodating with glasses. Overall the class was fun, the food was delicious and we had a good time. Definitely recommend Chef Danushka.

Then, 24 hours before the class, the chef updated the posting to notify attendees that the class would be run by Sur La Table.

The takoyaki was really delicious. It was hot and slightly crispy on the outside, while the inside was still creamy. I really appreciated that you could taste and identify the octopus chunks within, which isn't always the case for other places. The hand rolls were really good too. The flavors for each combine really well together and the fish tastes pretty fresh. I especially loved the wasabi butter that came with the hama toro.

I had scheduled a cooking class for the first weekend in March. It was all set and confirmed- we…read morehad even picked the menu. I got an email two weeks before the date and they said that something had come up and gave me alternative dates. This event was for people out of town and needed to be that specific date. Luis emailed me back and said that another date would be the date. I was very frustrated that the date was changed. I made a booking elsewhere. Thai Fresh emailed me and said that they could actually do the original date. I emailed them back and told them that I already had another booking. My suggestion would be to keep bookings and not try to reschedule. Very frustrating working with them.

I was tasked to plan a bachelorette weekend trip in Austin with 5 girls. The cooking class came up…read moreon Groupon, and thought it would be a fun idea to add this to our itinerary. Since we were going to be in Austin a specific weekend, we didn't have much of a choice on what class to take. The only class available was Thai Vegetarians. All the girls ended up liking the food. We made Hot and Sour Soup, Bean Thread Salad w/ tofu and mushroom, Pad Prik King w/ tofu and red curry paste, and Pad Sea Ew w/ tofu and eggs. I thought they tasted as good as the dishes with meat. There were a total of 11 people in the class. Jam was feeling under the weather, but you wouldn't have known it. We all stood around an island while Jam explained the dish and the ingredients while guiding us on what to do next. The island was split up in three burners so there were 3-4 people making a serving of each dish. It was interactive and we all were able to contribute. She gave us a hard copy of the recipes at the beginning of class, and you can chose to follow them/take notes. There were a lot of leftovers and some brought them to go. It was a little warm inside. They needed to crank up the temperature just a wee bit. They also ran out of Thai tea. We ordered 5 but they only had enough to make 1. I do agree with the other reviewers about the cost of the class. I wouldn't have paid the full price for this type of class and am glad we purchased a Groupon. Overall, we had a great time. We left there full and more knowledgeable about Thai cooking.

The food was tasty and Adam is such a pleasure to be around. I chose to watch him in action and he was highly entertaining and informative...like having my own personal cooking show in my own kitchen! Thank you Adam for a wonderful experience!!

Though I was…read morejust there for a cooking class (Sauces 101) I would like to spend a little time understanding what else goes on in that facility. My class was about 15 people all looking to learn about the mother sauces. Frankly, I took this because a friend was taking it and why the hell not? But there were people there to really learn. Like, never touched a dish style. I was surprised that the class wasn't individual cooking stations but more like a watch and learn. There was some class participation but you're not making your own. That's the first thing to know. The second thing is that it's like being back in a legit classroom. There will be idiots, there will be knowitalls, there will be class clowns, there will be tedious questions and please repeat thats. Our instructor was so kind and patient with these people, long after I would have asked them to test the boiling oil please. I wouldn't pre-eat exactly... but I also wouldn't go starving. You may end up eating a full meal but I'd be prepared not to. After we made each sauce, they were poured over pasta in a little ramekin and distributed. The things I'd like to see included: -- a way to watch the chef without leaning over the table. A mirror? A flat screen? Something so she doesn't have to tilt the pot precariously. -- an email later with the recipes vs. the paper recipes to take home -- a big disclaimer for dummies that if you're going into a class to make sauces, they're probably not going to be vegan or gluten-free. Overall a good experience. I definitely learned some things and hope to apply them to my next big pot of mac n cheese.

I never thought a private chef would be accessible to me but when I did the numbers, this was equivalent to the 3-4x a week I was going out to eat and when they go grocery shopping for me, they end of spending less than what I would. In addition, I love that this creates rewarding work for trained chef providing them with the work life balance they need to be happy as well!

I have been…read morelooking into picking up a new hobby or get into more craftin' to get in touch with my creative side. The class was $42 from 10:30a to noon. It is an open space with all sorts of art supplies, tools, and just about anything your imagination can muster up. Lots of inspiration. I was hoping to make more than just one small block and have different supplies like fabric for printing. It was very therapeutic to carve my small block. The class felt a little scattered - but it was a very easy going environment, super relaxed. Our instructor was friendly and encouraged us to tap into originality without overthinking it instead of looking up patterns or inspo on our phone. I really liked that. And she offered us all coffee, freshly made. You can basically come in to do all the arts and craft your heart desires, on a donation basis. Affordable and unique way to release your artistic side without investing too much in all the supplies and then an abandoning a hobby. I'd come back with a friend and check out a different class.
