Upon entry we received such a warm welcome from Chef Armando. The all-inclusive beverages and…read morecomplimentary charcuterie were a really nice touch to start the evening, especially if you arrive hungry like I did. We started by learning how to make Chicken Marsala, then moved into pasta making (my favorite part). After that, we learned how to make fresh mozzarella, and finally ended the night with dessert: tiramisu. The entire experience was so fun and interactive. I especially appreciated how knowledgeable Chef Alex was about everything we were making. When I asked about the type of pan she was using and why, she gave such a detailed and thoughtful explanation, which I really appreciated. By then, we had definitely worked up an appetite! We started dinner with a delicious salad and focaccia bread, followed by pesto fettuccine made from the pasta we created ourselves. Then came Chicken Marsala with mushrooms, and ricotta-stuffed ravioli in red sauce, also handmade by us. One of the best parts of the night was the atmosphere. Cooking, eating, and learning alongside people you've never met before somehow felt so natural and welcoming. You genuinely leave feeling like you made new friends. If I had one honest critique, I do wish there had been more opportunity to personally season some of the dishes to taste, as I felt parts of the meal were a little bland for my preference. I also personally prefer softer pasta over a firmer al dente texture. That said, I completely understood why the pasta had that texture since we didn't have much time for the dough to fully rest and develop. I also think some light Italian jazz music playing in the background would have elevated the atmosphere even more and really taken the experience to another level. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would absolutely take another class. It's definitely worth it for the experience, the knowledge you gain, and of course... dinner! Also, we got home (with our left overs) and finally had the tiramisu... and WOW. It was soooo delicious. The ravioli and tiramisu were definitely the stars of the show for me!

My precious nephew booked Chef Denis to come to his apartment to teach us a cooking class for my…read morebirthday. So I flew up to NYC from Florida, so excited about my special gift. I had told everyone at home about what I was doing, and how much I was looking forward to it, and how cool it was. And then Chef Denis canceled the day before our reservation. I know things can happen but he did not use the word "emergency" when leaving his message that he was canceling. Fortunately I have world's greatest nephew so he took me to an amazing Italian restaurant, instead, for my birthday, after we spent a glorious day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And he bought me beautiful earrings. He really is the greatest nephew. I had a wonderful birthday. When considering this business, I think it's important to know that canceling can, and does, happen, and apparently in the absence of an emergency.

We made so..many...dumplings. Thanks, Paula and crew!

This place is clean and has plenty of work station for a class. I was in a class of 8 but they can fit much much more. The kitchen offers classes almost every night and I heard they get booked packed most of time. Check their website for more information on what classes available and great date idea. So far I learned to make cookie, pita bread and hummus. I ate plenty of them but never know how to make it. They are pretty time consuming. Overall a great experience and had ton of fun.

I gave my nephew the Knife Skills class for his birthday and we went together. We had a great time!…read moreThe studio is very nice, open and well-equipped. 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!

Booked the Italian Date Night cooking class as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, HUGE MISTAKE…read more Chef Jerry was rude from the start, yelling during check-in and then making us move seats for someone he said was his "friend". He repeatedly used explicit language, made inappropriate jokes, and even mimicked doing cocaine with grated cheese. We left within 10 minutes because it was that uncomfortable. The venue was also not romantic at all. It was basically a shut down cheap hotel breakfast bar, completely misaligned with a "date night" experience. To make matters worse, the company was slow to respond afterward and refused to issue a refund, even after acknowledging the experience was mishandled. Disappointing experience and poor customer service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously.

Not only did we have 40 people to feed, there were about 15 food allergies for the chef to work around. It was a tall order. But an order fit for Miette!!! We had 3 stations to work/cook in, we shifted every so often while others spoke and enjoyed wine (BYOB). Miette suggested the wine shipped a day earlier so they could chill the whites. (amazing) The food was amazing, and for those who had dietary restrictions, the chef was 5 steps ahead and already prepared and alternative! We had an amazing time, learned a lot, and requested recipes! it was an intimate space for 40, but we were able to cook, lounge, and drink very comfortably. As soon as we walked in, it smelled amazing! The size of the location was perfect because we were always engaged. (with cooking or each other) Sally was my point of contact - she was 100% professional, patient, great communicator, and worked with us and the chef seamlessly. I cannot brag enough on Miette. What also speaks volumes is when I was looking for a cooking class, ANOTHER class suggested that I look into Miette. (their space was not big enough). But I was already communicating with Sally because she is so fast with communication. The other class responded days after my inquiry. Miette was already on my books to work with!

This isn't an intense cooking class, just in case you're wondering but it really can't be because it's designed as a fun group activity. Therefore, everything is prepped really well and with basic kitchen skills you and your team can prepare the food. I did learn a good onion dicing technique that I used the next day. In any event, our supervising chef was Ryan and he was great. Really energetic and helpful. There was plenty of work to do for all of us and the time went by quickly. When it came time to eat, we were all very hungry. I thought all the food was delicious. I was surprised at how generous the portions were, especially the dessert. Of course that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing. This was a really nice group activity and the staff there do a great job of getting things done so the program moves along without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend this for a corporate event.

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.

Do not sign up for I.C.E Cooking and especially DO NOT get a gift card from them. Worst experience…read moreI've ever had just trying to book a class. PERIOD. 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!
