We booked our class through Cozy Meals for $114/person. When we arrived, we were pleasantly…read moresurprised to find that the class was actually hosted by Sur La Table. Overall, as a one-time experience, it was fun and exciting for me. That said, after reading the reviews below, I have to agree w/many of them. Cozy Meals did mentioned that the class would be four people per group, but in reality, we were packed elbow-to-elbow around the cooking table and barely got to do much hands-on cooking. Still, I had a great time. The setup was beautiful, and the staff were friendly and helpful (Chefs runners). Our puff pastry dough didn't want to cooperate, it had been left out too long and became too warm, so we struggled rolling it big enough to wrap the beef properly. Even so, the final dish was still delicious. Unfortunately, we did leave hungry still. Extra star for the easy parking and its location. The first two hours are free, w/ additional hours at $2. Sur La Table is located inside a mall, with plenty of options to grab a snack or drink after class and there's even a Costco within walking distance! Ps. Please wash the aprons. I'm not sure how many classes were held before our 4 pm session, but ours was noticeably dirty.

My daughter and I tried a different kind of date -- a cooking class at Sur La Table -- and it was…read moresuch a fun experience. We joined the Essentials: Mexican Flavors night and learned how to make so many amazing dishes. We made a Spicy Daisy (a virgin jalapeño margarita), corn and poblano tamales with pasilla sauce, fresh handmade corn tortillas, birria tacos, and even a rich chocolate ancho chili cake for dessert. We were also taught how to prepare tamasa from scratch. Honestly, it was mostly my daughter doing all the cooking while I listened and admired her skills Chef Zach led the class and was so helpful, along with two assistants who were constantly checking on everyone and guiding us through each step. You're grouped in teams of four, ingredients are prepped for you, and they walk you through everything. Just be ready to set aside 2-3 hours -- it's a full experience. The class costs under $100, which is totally worth it because you get to enjoy (and bring home) everything you make. Such a fun, hands-on experience. Highly recommend for a unique date or bonding time. Happy cooking!

I have to admit I was presently surprised with the dishes I ordered personally for Thanksgiving,…read moreeven though they weren't the typical Thanksgiving foods! Lol so I ordered the Jerk Chicken meal, comes with cabbage and rice, and I also ordered a side of sour cream mash potatoes. The portion size was great for a single person, and so this brings me to my next point. I'd definitely recommend this same meal and size if you were meal prepping and eating clean/healthy because it was perfect just for that! The rice was light and fluffy, nice texture and seasoning. The cabbage was also cooked greatly, not overcooked and soggy, but had excellent texture and seasoned nicely. The chicken was savory and not overcooked ". The jerk seasoning was spicy but not overbearing to where it's not enjoyable. My only critique is that having traveled to Jamaica in the past year, I would say make two options: Healthy version and Jamaican Store front version!! I'd love to try the store front version too!
