What a great, fun experience. My grandson has bern really interested in cooking so I decided to try…read morethe 2 hour cavatelli class here at Hipcooks. Sarah was entertaining, warm, welcoming, encouraging and a great instructor. Made the class so much fun and my grandson couldn't not stop talking about how much he learned in a 2 hour class. The school itself is small but neat, clean and vibrant. Everyone participated in making the meal and sitting down together to enjoy it. I generally do not enjoy classes that are structured like this, but in this case, everyone was able to participate in all aspects and all portions of each dish if they wanted. My previous experience has been that each team makes one part of the meal and it gets assembled at the end prior to eating. I always felt I was not getting a full experience that way. This was structured differently and it absolutely made the experience so much more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to take another class there. Thank you again Sarah for making this such a great experience.

I went here for a work event, and they broke us up into groups to cook one part of the meal, I…read morewould've preferred working on the entire meal instead of just the salad. We were cooking with beer but they didn't show case or mention the beer, seemed like the teacher was learning the recipe herself ... The staff was nice and attentive, but the reason for my one star review is due to their lack of care for health and safety standards. They don't tell everyone to wash their hands (nor did I see them wash their hands when handling food)...they say they pre-rinsed the fruits and veggies but the stickers were still on it...and the biggest issue and reason for my one star review was that the chef dropped one of the steaks on the floor, wiped if off with a towel and put it back on the grill and served it!!!

If you're intimidated about making a sourdough starter or sourdough bread, then you need to take…read morethis class. Taleen simplifies the entire process so it feels totally doable. We actually made our own starter and mixed up a loaf to take home and bake the next day. She demonstrates each step clearly and then has everyone follow along, so you never feel lost. She also provides all the tools and ingredients, which makes it easy to just show up and learn. The class is relaxed, informative, and perfect for beginners. I highly recommend for anyone who's been wanting to try sourdough but might feel overwhelmed by "feeding" your starter; Taleen has a simple process for this to allow us time to get used to the art of making sourdough. I'm so glad I took this class, I left with the confidence and knowledge to take care of my starter and continue to make my own sourdough at home.

She made the appetizers, main dishes, sides, and desserts so I didn't have to worry about booking multiple vendors. She even set up a themed tablescape and came up with a pasta cooking experience that was fun and delicious. The food was incredible and the whole office was talking about it after the party! I've also been to an in-home dinner with Kristina as the personal chef and it was equally impressive. The food is hands down amazing and she makes it such a fun experience! She goes above and beyond and does such a nice presentation of the food. You can tell she really loves cooking and sharing it with people. I will absolutely hire her again and I refer her to anyone I can!

I had joined her awhile back and despite having difficulties of my own, I had fun and the cookies are delicious. After the first experience I have returned on numerous other occasions and do feel I have progressed a bit with my decorating skills but all in all its about the fun. The cookies are always well themed and we enjoy eating these for several days afterward. It really doesn't matter what the end product looks like as long as you have fun creating your masterpiece. As Frank on Everybody Loves Raymond would say, the stomach knows not ugly and these are delicious no matter the result. I will definitely return again soon for more of these classes and highly recommend checking them out for something different, fun and challenging

Each course was perfect, and no detail was missed. Each guest was blown away by the amazing flavors and how they seamlessly fit with each other. Course after course of insane flavor and decadence. Chef Matt is easy to work with, very communicative, and has a well thought out plan. He provided a recommended menu, we had him add a beautiful charcuterie board to start the evening, and away he went. He was on time and finished prepping the food in our kitchen with the intoxicating aroma wafting through the house. Thank you, Chef Matt. If I could rate you 10 stars I would.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE…read more This was one of the most interesting, fun, fulfilling experiences my husband and I have ever had. If you are even remotely thinking about booking, I would highly recommend doing so. My husband is very in to cooking/food. He's a cooking show junkie who has no professional training but loves to cook and learn. I booked Chef Matt as a Date Night activity for us. The whole "Before" process was very easy. Chef Matt sent us some sample menus. I chose the California Coastal one. I wasn't super sure about one of the options (I'm kind of a picky eater) so Chef Matt worked with me to swap out the suggested course option to make it something we would enjoy a bit more. I have to note because I was so impressed- This alternative was one of the coolest dishes we had ever had. Chef Matt asked what our favorite vegetable was. My answer was asparagus. Chef Matt prepared a dish that used asparagus 5 different ways! Talk about creative! We loved it! Any how, Chef Matt showed up the day of with everything needed to cook our 4-course meal. I wasn't sure what to expect, so set our table and had the dishwasher empty; ready to go for dishes after the meal. I was happily surprised when Chef Matt showed up with not only the items needed to cook the meal, but also his own pots/pans, cooking utensils, dishes for every course, cleaning products, and a trash bag of his own! The only things we needed were silverware, napkins, and our drinks (which I pre-planned wine pairing to each course...something I'd highly recommend doing/asking about- Chef Matt had great insight for the pairings)! Chef Matt did a little prep work and let us know we could be as involved or uninvolved as we wanted in the cooking process. We chose to be more involved. Chef Matt explained everything he was doing to prepare each dish as we watched. He explained technique, ingredients, past experiences, and shared his passion for food with us. The food from each course was unbelievable. Better than the best restaurant in town! All around the same price we would have spent going to a nice restaurant- 110% worth the value. Chef Matt is truly talented. His creativity, knowledge of the art, and passion for cooking are very well displayed through his food. I would say every course was better than the last, but honestly, each and ever course was so top-notch/delicious it was hard to pick a favorite. It was so cool to see such high quality food being prepared in our very own kitchen. By the time my husband and I finished our last course, Chef Matt already had our kitchen sparkling clean. He did not leave a single crumb, dish, or piece of trash. I cannot say enough good things about this experience or about Chef Matt. My husband and I were beyond impressed. Chef Matt is an awesome, friendly, personable guy who is beyond talented and an excellent teacher. We have so much admiration for him and his art. We will for sure be booking again!
