I took the Handmade Holiday Treats class at Sur La Table and it completely exceeded my…read moreexpectations. In just two hours, we somehow managed to make fudge, marshmallows, caramel turtles, and bark--which still feels a little unreal. Jessica was AMAZING. She kept an almost full class organized, on schedule, and stress-free while making sure nothing went wrong (no small feat when working with hot sugar). Her passion for what she does is obvious, and she shared so many helpful tips along the way. I'm comfortable in the kitchen, but this class reminded me there's always something new to learn. Huge thanks to Sur La Table for a fantastic experience, and an even bigger thank-you to Jessica for making us all look like pros by the end. Would absolutely take another class with her!

Dear Sur La Table Management, I am writing to share my…read moredisappointment regarding a cooking class I attended on 1-24-26 at 4:00 pm at the South Coast Plaza location in CA. I have attended several classes at your establishment and have always had a welcoming, positive experience. Unfortunately, tonight's experience was the opposite of what I have come to expect. Our chef appeared ill-prepared for the class, which led to a disorganized environment. Furthermore, the chef was unnecessarily aggressive and yelled at participants when they were ahead of his instructions or, in my case, when I misunderstood a direction. This created a stressful, uncomfortable atmosphere rather than a fun, educational experience, which is not what we paid for. Additionally, due to the poor flow of the class, our food was cold by the time it was served to eat. I also observed that the support staff working with him appeared miserable, likely due to the stressful environment created by the chef. I believe this is important feedback for your team to address to maintain your usual high standards of service. I hope you will take steps to better prepare your instructors regarding both their preparation and their customer service skills. Given the nature of the experience, I would appreciate a response regarding how you plan to handle this situation. Sincerely, Theresa Smith

I was nervous about signing up for the home cook course, felt vulnerable in a new environment in…read morewhich I had no skills or training in. I can't recommend this beginner course enough. Even after the 1st day my meals at home were suddenly consistent and significantly better. 12 weeks later and I am confidently relaxed in my kitchen. I enjoy the ease that I feel now; from preparing dinner, menu planning, temp control, and little tips you just can't learn on google. Learning in person from Chef Jason and Chef Ben with a group of funny, eager, and caring adults has really shaped how I can give back to my family. This was the common denominator for all the students in our course. We wanted to learn a new skill to share with the ones we care about most, our families. "I haven't made a sh**** meal since day one of this course" - quote from my fiancé Take the leap and invest in yourself and your family plus laughing about it along the way is always a plus.

I am a home cook that wanted to deeper dive into cooking and to learn some new skills. I had a…read moregreat experience in the beginner cooking class at Culinary lab. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The class covered all the bases of what you could learn in a beginners cooking class. From potion, to fish, to veggies, to knifes skills it is a good balance. The pace was not too fast but not too slow. We would learn about a subject, watch the chef cook it and then do it ourselves. I really liked my chef instructor explained things thoroughly but not overly controlling. One of the best parts is you got to take your a recipe sheet home with everything you learned that day and the food that you made, my husband and my kids always loved that. Over all it was a great experience and I will be back for more classes!

This was such a fun experience. I attended the Tuscan cooking class, and although it was pretty…read morefull, we ended up making some new friends along the way. There's an option to purchase wine, and while the selection is limited, it's clearly curated and high quality. The Tuscan menu was simple yet absolutely delicious. My only minor critique is that I wish the class had been a bit more hands-on--the instructor occasionally took over rather than letting participants do more themselves. That said, I understand time constraints and how challenging it can be with a large group. I imagine this experience would be even better in a more intimate setting. Overall, the food was excellent, and the instructors and staff were fun, friendly, and engaging. It is on the pricier side, but you're essentially getting a three-course meal, plus a 10% discount on anything in the store the day of the class, which is a nice bonus.

I've never baked a single thing in my life, but by the end of Teri's walk-through (and with lots of friendly guidance), I had a beautiful 4 tier cake to leave with. My husband was absolutely flabbergasted that I'd baked and I was shocked that it was actually delicious. He's eaten a piece daily since and can't stop talking about how good it is-meanwhile I can't stop talking about how much fun I actually had with Teri. She shared the recipe so I can make it going forward and I think I can actually pull it off thanks to the education I got at Chef Tech!
