My husband and I attended the Duck À l'Orange class last night and had fabulous time! We realized that it would take time to prepare the food (just like at home) so we ate a hearty snack before we went and were able to enjoy the class without wondering when we would eat. We learned so much, while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and plan on going back once a month. read more

We have been going off and on for about a year and they instructors/chefs are always so kind and understand. I take my 7 year old autistic daughter who loves to cook and they have ALWAYS been understanding and patient with her and her million repeated questions. We always have a great time and look forward to our next class. read more

I took my wife there for a date night. Had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly, professional and polite. We went for "Classic Ravioi" class on a Saturday evening. Learned a bunch, met some great couples of all ages who were also there for their date nights. It's hands on and active. Cooking and prepping for a large group. Everyone is kept busy and active, but there's still plenty of conversation and socializing. The meal was great. We went home with some leftovers, and recipe cards for everything we made. We will absolutely do this again. read more

I mean, it was a fun date night. I didn't realize you were stuck at one prep station for the entire night. For $200 I would've expected at least a free glass of wine and some snacks. Our 6pm class did not eat until 9pm. I recommend eating a small meal before you arrive. But I did learn a few things and the food we eventually was able to eat was very good. read more

We had a company outing here! Collin and Makayla were amazing hosts! Cannot wait to do this again. Perfect event for a girls night, company, building, or wedding parties. It was so much fun to make some Thai food!! read more

Everything is amazing, the chef Jeff is a great person! This course was everything and more. Highly recommended!!! read more

What an awesome class! Jeff was really helpful throughout the ramen cooking. We bought a pre recorded class and still felt like we were in the actual class. Made us laugh a bunch! Thanks! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! I've attended a few Sur La Table cooking classes and this beats them all. Chef Jeff is so kind and personable and made the entire experience superb. I attended the Rustic Italian Date Night and it was a blast! Chef Jeff and his team are fun and personable and really took the time to get to know us and ensure we grasped the concepts and skill set necessary to create the meal. We made a Focaccia Flatbread with Pesto, Sausage and Vegetable Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce, and a Chocolate and Berry Crostini. Everything was SO. DELICIOUS. They went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy allergy so that I could eat everything we cooked. I was so appreciative of the care that went into personalizing the meal so that I could enjoy it all with some modifications. Chef Jeff is such a genuine person who clearly is a man of integrity. He took it upon himself to learn everyone's names to start (very impressive in a class of over 20 people!), encouraged all of the married people's in the room to be intentional in loving one another, and made the whole experience so much fun and memorable. Just two critiques (that in no way make this less than a 5-star experience): -we didn't eat until 9:30pm so we were STARVING when dinner rolled around but I guess that's to be expected for a 7-10pm class. -I found some of the components of the meal (pesto and pasta sauce) to be slightly under seasoned. I think just a hint of salt would've made the meal that much more flavorful but maybe that's just a personal preference. Check this place out! Such a great gift to give to someone, unique experience to change things up, or date night idea. Chef Jeff has an incredible business going and I hope to see it continue to flourish. I wish I still lived in the area because I would be back here all the time to try out more classes! read more

What a great class. It was our first cooking class ever, so I have nothing to compare to, but we really had a good time. We signed up, sort of on a whim, and were not disappointed. Jeff is a fine instructor, keeps your attention, clever and funny, and weaves in some nice cooking instructions that I had never considered (Heat the pan, heat the fat, heat the food.....how to saute, FYI). We attended the Thai Cooking Class and did two appetizers and a main entree. The food was delicious and the class well organized and well prepared. We'll be back! read more

Joined the World Travelers Club and had our first class less than a week ago. First stop, Spain! Chef Jeff has a way of making you feel very comfortable and at ease. I can't recommend these classes enough. Great instruction, great new friends, and great food! We made the national dish of Spain in class, paella. Chef Jeff made a very intimidating dish manageable and fun. The trick for a dish that has so many ingredients was prep. My Mom's Birthday was today, so to celebrate we had a Super Bowl, Birthday Party all rolled into one. I decided to put what I had just learned in class and take a shot at a paella on my own. I can't tell you how much everyone loved it! I can't wait for our next class, we are heading to Italy!! Here is what I was able to put together for friends and family tonight using what I learned last week. read more

You are now receiving 1 star because you attempted to blame my daughter and me for criticizing the Lobster Ravioli class. You admit the class was not as described on your website, but blame us because we didn't speak up during the class. We didn't speak up because there was no real opportunity to. The class was packed with people all doing their assembly-line part, with you rushing from station to station to "speak personally" with people in between demonstrations and instructions. You now owe us an apology as well as a refund. You try to deflect my deserved criticism of the class by pointing out the "positives", such as greeting us personally and memorizing our names; that was not my complaint--it was the assembly-line experience as opposed to what was promised on your website. read more

Had a fabulous time. Did the class with my daughter. We did the Charleston southern menu. One of my favorite all time experiences. You get to prepare and eat a great meal. Chef Jeff is simply the best. Book a class!! read more

Did the ramen class. Love ramen. Jeff does a nice job. The class was fun. The food was tasty, but if you do the ramen class, you may want to BYOB - bring your own bowl. A tasty broth, home made noodles, and delicious sides were piled in a bowl made to hold about a cup and a half. Hopefully they'll buy some bigger bowls for future classes b/c the "presentation" of our ramen was not great when ramen and sides were stacked up into a tiny rice bowl...but it still tasted great. read more

A bit of advice, do not eat anything before taking this class. You will eat plenty during it! My 9 year old daughter and I participated in the parent & child sushi making class, and it was fantastic! Chef Jeff welcomed us and joked around with my daughter a bit to get her comfortable. She really warmed up and liked talking with him, which is no easy feat. We got to learn 3 different rolls and 1 nigiri dish that were all so fresh and delicious. As we completed each roll that we would learn and then roll ourselves, we would get to eat it as we learned the next roll. We ate a lot of sushi! Chef Jeff taught us the importance of using fresh fish and how to choose the freshest fish at the market. He was very helpful and we had about 15 minutes of the end of class to make as much sushi to take home as we wanted which resulted in 2-3 good-sized taken home boxes. The value in the education of what you learn is worth the cost of the class and experience with whomever you're there experiencing the class with. However, combined with the amount that you eat during the class anders the amount that you take home, you'll be saving yourself multiple meals as well. read more

I've taken a few of their classes and have enjoyed them immensely! And getting to eat what you just cooked is REALLY the best! I've learned some great cooking skills (I'm much better with chopping now!!) and prep tricks and how to make the plate look beautiful when serving (I didn't know I was going to become an artist too!!) Classes with the Sweet and Savory Classroom are worth every penny and you have a lot of fun while cooking and learning. They are worth a try (or 3 or 10). Thanks for the fun (and delicious) times!! read more

From the moment you walk in, you feel as if you're in a friend's kitchen. A friend's really well stocked commercial kitchen. Chef Jeff met us at the door, asked our names and after a little small talk, pointed us in the direction to go. Once everyone arrived, he introduced himself again, dropped some of the kitchen rules on us, and then went around the room and introduced everyone by name from memory, and there were probably 20 of us. He remembered everyone's name the entire night, which was great, and gave you reason to not mess up, because you knew he'd call you out by name. Chef was a very good teacher, something he is obviously passionate about, and more than willing to help you wherever needed. Don't worry, this isn't one of those high stress TV cooking shows where the chef is going to make you cry, it's fun. Once finished cooking, we got to enjoy a wonderful meal. Made for an excellent date night and several birthdays were being celebrated too. Well worth the cost. read more

I know what your thinking. You have seen the price and thought "oh that's a lot!" I know you've considered it but stopped yourself with all the questions you might have about the whole situation! Well let me tell you all about this experience so that you know just how worth it, this class is! My husband and I chose the Peruvian menu. Mostly because my husband is Peruvian and I have been wanting to learn to cook more like what my husband grew up on. We had trouble finding the place because it is on the back side of the street address (behind blue grass grill) so Siri said we arrived and we said no we haven't and pulled in to park so that we could walk around and ended up right at the door. We were greeted by Chef Jeff who made us feel right at home. We ended up at the chicken table as each table had a different piece of the menu and we didn't know that when we walked in. We learned how to handle our chicken including cutting out its spine and break its breastplate. These both made gruesome noises that gave me chills but then we seasoned the chicken and started grilling. Meanwhile we walked around to see what everyone else was doing and got to taste the things they were making. We got short demonstrations about, like I said, how to prepare a whole chicken and how to use salt appropriately. The class was such a good time and the food was amazing. My husband and I both have problems with certain food when we go to restaurants but something about what we prepared in this classroom the foods didn't bother us at all. We prayed over our dinner and enjoyed. I can't wait to go back again and take my boys to a mom and me class too maybe even send one to summer camp next year. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been to the Sweet & Savory Classroom with my wife on several occasions and took my team there yesterday for our 2nd team event. You would expect the food to be tremendous (and it was and always is), but the level of interaction and teambuilding far exceeded my expectation. While the classes offered in the evening are a must for any couple or friends that want to spend some quality fun time together learning new ways to prepare food in a comfortable atmosphere, the teambuilding events are a "must" for any leader or manager that wants to bring their team together. Today, my team is still talking about the experience and how impressed they were with Chef Jeff and his team. I will continue to be a loyal customer for date nights and team events and would encourage anyone looking for a great evening or teambuilding event to check them out. read more

Just did the valentines date night with my wife and it was fantastic. We made spinach salad and tortellini for an appetizer.

Chef Jeff and Chef Heather are amazing instructors. I have taken several of their virtual cooking classes and all of them have excelled. They make a hard menu easy to prepare.

My friends and I had so much fun! We took the Mexican class and learned how to make everything! Tortillas, guac, enchiladas and sauce. It was such a fun evening and I learned a lot of new tips for cooking. The class was scheduled from 6-9, but we were there much later, which I actually appreciated. That did mean that we didn't eat dinner till after 9 though... But it was worth it! read more
