A group of 10 of us close friends booked this experience from Chicago and what a time was had!!! Our cuisine theme was Caribbean cuisine and everything was delicious! We had some great prep cooks, sous chefs and master chefs among us! lol it's a great concept because you do all the cooking and you can BYOB as well. We had such a fun experience lead by our amazing Chef! She was fantastic! We will book with her specifically again! Highly recommended! read more

So this was our first time at any cooking class and we loved it. My 21 year old grandson and I love to cook, so we thought we'd try it. Learned a lot; Alfredo sauce, fried ravioli (really good) making our own marinara sauce, vinaigrette dressing for salad, secret of cooking meat on the grill and oven Bruce was very organized and funny. I didn't know we could bring our own beverages but they furnished water. Only critique is maybe making class earlier. We ate about 8:30-9:00 class ended so late but we would do it again. And we traveled two hours for our class!! Oh and teramisu for dessert! read more

Had a very fun experience cooking and eating with a good friend! Also, we laughed and made friends with the other people in the group. Food was really good. Recipes were fairly easy to follow and the instructor, Brian, kept everyone motivated and interested while giving good information. I couldn't give 5 stars only because the amount of wasted food. There was enough food for 30 people and only 10 in the class. You can't take food home so everything unused or uneaten is ... disposed. read more

I never took a cooking class in my life but this was a lot of fun. Our chef/instructor Tracy was entertaining and informative. He explained not just what to do but why it worked due to the chemistry going on in the ingredients. We made a fondue, a salad multiple sauces and dressings, steak, chicken, and shrimp. It was all delicious and more than filling. My wife and I are planning on returning soon. read more

We had a private party here. Loved the education that comes with the class, such as knife skills. The food was DELICIOUS. Chef and staff were very helpful and kind. We had a TON of leftovers, but they did not allow you to take them home because "if you leave it in the car and then eat it later, you could sue us." Every restaurant that I've been to has to-go boxes. This place needs to get with it, especially since we paid $60 a person. AND THEN, I saw them bagging up the food!! It couldn't have been to donate the food because that would fall under the same "could sue us" reason. They must have saved it to eat themselves. read more

Do not attend U Cook cooking School in Merrillville,Indiana. I attended a cooking class there and it was less than satisfactory. The class uses generic store brought brands, menu items that were supposed to be prepared were missing and the Chef had no explanation except someone else must have used them, Poor shelf substitutions were made to suffice missing items. The Chef constantly took cigarette breaks and never washed his hands upon returning. We cooked a larger amount of food and was informed that no food could be taken home it was for the Chef and his staff to enjoy the following day! When I phoned the school to make a complaint the supervisor was unavailable for the entire week. Every time I phoned, I received the message that she is out of the office! Poor customer service DO NOT WASTER YOUR TIME. read more

Sadly disappointed in our experience. Expected a cooking class. All we got was a "chef" who didn't know how to cook. What we got was a recipe and ingredients and told to follow the directions. If we had questions, she didn't know the answers. Didn't know the recipes at all. It had the potential to be a great experience, however this "chef" was lacking! At this point wouldn't recommend it, unless you get a real chef who is interactive, talks and actually gives you tips and lessons in cooking. Brochure said cooking demonstrations and hands on lessons..... Neither of which was provided. Students had to teach other. Food was very good and generous portions. read more
