On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough. She gave us the option off adding heat with a scotch bonnet pepper and showed us a couple of knife techniques to make cutting vegetables easier. We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home. Its great for a date night or friend group activity or even just solo bc everyone became so friendly.

What was supposed to be a Christmas gift from my parents has turned into a nightmare. For an entire month during Feburary, you could not even use a gift card on their site. THEN! We finally get to booking a class that we wanted to do and it's canceled. They offer us our credit back, but it never comes. We call, no answer, We email, no answer. It takes a week for me to finally call again and we get our credits back, book another class and we're good to go right? NO! Class gets canceled again 3 days before the class is going to be held. I would have left way worse words, but don't want the yelp post to be remove for explicit content.

The class size is small so it's intimate and friendly and cooperative. We all sat / stood around a central island. The instructor was very friendly and helpful, and each person got hands-on guidance. We learned a lot, at the end of the class we shared a casual communal meal and couldn't wait to get home to practice what we learned. The other people in the class were all lovely, friendly and fun. I highly recommend and we will be back to take more classes.

Learned a lot, had fun, and enjoyed delicious food!…read more My wife and I attended Thai Food cooking class at HCNY on Jan 25, 2024. The group was small, just 6 people, so we got almost a private class. Entire class was well planned and organized. Each of us got some hands-on stuff to do, we asked questions, took notes, enjoyed our meal, yet we ran exactly on time. John provided a lot of information not just on specific dishes we cooked, but also on Thai cuisine fundamentals, ingredients, and main tastes. He also shared some cool cooking tips we found useful though we are not cooking beginners. We ended up with a plentiful freshly made Thai dinner consisting of Tom Yum soup with Shrimp, Fried Fish in Tamarind sauce, Thai Red Curry Chicken, and sticky rice. All the dishes came out delicious and tasted like in a Thai restaurant! And most important we've successfully reproduced these dishes at home one week later! Thank you John, and The HCNY Crew for the great experience! We highly recommend Home Cooking NY to all who likes and learns to cook!

After our wonderful cooking class with Sunita, we will definitely be able to do that. She doesn't cut corners: she takes you through the history and culture of the food, and she describes every spice you're using, inviting you to taste them as you go along. The dishes themselves were fantastic, with a nice kick to them. The highlight of the night was getting to eat the food with Sunita and her husband, who are both lovely, very interesting people. If you're looking to really learn something about Indian cuisine, or if you just want a fun evening with tasty food, I highly recommend this cooking class!

If you've ever taken cooking and baking courses at The New School, and want to take more, you are…read moreprobably confused. When you call them and ask about these classes (which have run forever) you are told that they are not offering any or that they have been cancelled. What they do not or won't tell you is that the company that ran the New School Culinary Arts program, Culinary Center of New York, is now running the same cooking and baking classes under its own name. They were supposed to issue a joint press release about the separation but nothing was done. Was it a deliberate ploy to deny the new venture any publicity? Is The New School trying to drive the Culinary Center of New York out of business by misdirecting people? Are New Yorkers to be denied the cooking and baking classes they love and are used to-- same facility, same teachers, same everything?

I absolutely loved the class at Purple Kale Kitchenworks. It was what I really needed to get myself…read moreback into the kitchen. The class changed my entire perspective on how I view cooking, and I love it! Ronna took the fear out of cooking for me and removed all the blocks I had from getting myself into the kitchen. She pretty much took the stress out of cooking for me, and not only made me feel like a better mom and wife by taking the guilt out of not having home cooked meals on the table every single day, and teaching me creative ways to get meals on the table quickly, she really helped me discover a new creative side to me that I didn't think I was capable of in the kitchen! I will use the tools I learned at Purple Kale Kitchenworks for the rest of my life and will share them with others I know. She taught me things I didn't even think of doing in my kitchen, even after going to culinary school to learn how to cook! I highly recommend her class!

This most recent time which was last weekend, I rented the kitchen to host a 20 seater chefs table. Both Ronna & her assistant Kim were beyond helpful. They were both available through email & phone anytime myself or my event planner had questions. Ronna was also super flexible with my timing & arranging for rental drop off & pick ups. The place was cleaned when we arrived and Kim was there to make sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. I highly recommend this space and would definitely book again.

She explains things clearly and as she might say, "scientifically," and takes you through the making of several dishes step by step, plus offering tips that were new to me. There were only three of us in the class, so each of us had plenty of opportunities to get our hands full of dough/potatoes/onions, to grind spices, to fry parathas, etc. And then we got to eat it all and chat -- so delicious and relaxing. I'm taking two more classes... can't wait!

My friend and I had been excited to try one of Mukti's classes since pre-pandemic. One of the best…read morebirthday presents ever was doing the Vegetarian Cooking class with Mukti. I've done over 15 cooking classes in NYC and when we travel and this was by far the best I've been to. The class was an intimate group hosted in Mukti kitchen in Brooklyn. Mukti's background as a scientist brought a different perspective from most of the cooking classes I've been to. She would explain each step from the scientific perspective as well her personal connection to the food and culture. Mukti facilitated a warm atmosphere was very welcoming and every student was able to participate rather than primarily demonstrations. We made several familiar Indian dishes (Chana, eggplant and rice) but everything was the BEST version we have had. We have been inspired to cook with whole spices and love the recipes. Thank you Mukti for such a special evening. We look forward to coming back. I would highly recommend a class with Mukti if you are looking to cook healthy and delicious food. The class size is kept small which is a huge plus especially since Mukti's knowledge of Indian spices and Ayurvedic cooking is just as powerful of an experience as the physical cooking aspect of the class. I couldn't recommend enough - what a gem!
