  • Japanese Spring Online Workshop with Aiko

    Mary D. • April 27, 2025
    Great class and loved Aiko! The food was fabulous. It would have been a little helpful to have some prep before the class (garlic peeled, potatoes and carrots peeled) to keep up the pace. But overall, really fun class and I learned a lot from the class. Thank you Aiko!
  • Persian Cooking Online with Mab (Spring)

    Elizabeth S. • March 17, 2025
    I enjoyed many things about the class: Mab sharing her background and the cultural origin of these dishes, the delicious vegetarian food with use of fresh herbs, the opportunity to take the course online with a family member in another part of the country. The use of a tortilla for the crusty topping was genius, and the leftovers were great!
  • Lebanese Cooking Online with Jeanette (Summer)

    Rebecca T. • August 27, 2023
    My husband and I did this together. It was great fun. This was the first time I made Lebanese food. The teacher was very good, the assistant made it very easy- keeping track of the group and the flow of the class. They were very attentive to everyone. The very best part..we made delicious food. Now I have a few new recipes that I can easily make again. I’m looking forward to taking more cooking classes.
  • Afghan Cooking with Nawida: Immersion Workshop (Summer)

    Nicole A. • February 19, 2023

  • Mexican Cooking Online with Angie (Spring)

    Great instructor and terrific Mexican meal.
  • Bangladeshi Cooking Online with Afsari (Vegetarian)

    Amit G. • January 9, 2022
    Excellent preparation and clear presentation. Easy to follow instructions. Knowledgeable presenter!
  • Argentinian Cooking Online #2 with Mirta

    Manya B. • November 1, 2021
    The instructor was lovely, and her knowledge not just of the cooking, but of the regions and wines of Argentina were a delight. She was in her home kitchen, and at the end, her daughter and husband came to share the meal! It felt very relaxed and unintimidating, while the cooking was incredible - a woman who has grown up with these foods, and knows the ins and outs and little tricks and tips for success. These courses also have a person called a supporter, who is indispensable to the quality of the course, ensuring that if people have questions, the chef knows that, and repeating any parts of the recipe that might be confusing. The experience was wonderful from start to finish, and my husband and I both had a great time!
  • Greek Cooking Online with Despina (Spring)

    CAMILLE W. • June 30, 2021
    I really enjoy learning ethnic cuisine from people who are from the actual place. It was lovely to learn authentic Greek cooking from a native of Greece. Loved the recipes and chatting with Despina and her daughter/granddaughter? Would like to take another class from Despina.
  • Persian Cooking Online with Mab (Summer)

    Mary T Z. • April 18, 2021
    Loved the class and the personal story of Mab's. It was also great to have a moderator (Justine) who would type into chat what was happening and with instructions. This way if you missed what was said, you could look at the next step. I have found often with these classes that the written recipe is changed once you are in person and with the noise, even in your own kitchen, you sometimes miss what was said. The food was delicious and everyone in the family enjoyed it. Thanks for offering the virtual classes.
  • Greek Cooking Online with Despina (Spring)

    Anonymous • December 28, 2020
    The instructor was delightful, sharing some of her own family stories and history of Greek food.
  • Greek Cooking Online with Despina (Spring)

    Melanie D. • September 21, 2020
    I loved cooking with Despina! Delicious recipes that were easy to execute and use everyday, fresh ingredients. Have recommended to all my friends and look forward to taking another course soon!! Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

  • Lebanese Cooking w/ Jeanette: Taste of Workshop

    Anonymous • September 16, 2019
    Do not expect this to be a hands-on cooking class . You will be watching Jeannette cook and hopefully learn how to do it .
  • Nepali Cooking with Rachana: Immersion Workshop (Spring)

    Cynthia A. • June 6, 2019
    I learned so much in this workshop. Our instructor, Rachana, was absolutely delightful. Everything we prepared was delicious and I would make at home. Thank you Rachana!

  • Bangladeshi Cooking with Afsari: Taste of Workshop (Spring)

    Anonymous • February 3, 2019
    Pleasant way to while away an afternoon but not a cooking lesson by any means more a demo.
  • Indian Food and Shopping Tour with Smitha

    FRANK P. • January 21, 2019
    The overall experience was fantastic. Smitha was knowledgeable took the time to explain and convey the importance of what we learned. We had a great small group and ended our session with a wonderful authentic meal. I strongly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about Indian cooking and related culture.
  • Bengali Cooking w/ Afsari: Immersion Workshop #2

    Nicole A. • December 10, 2018
    Overpriced!!! You have to pay over $100 dollars to take this class and you have to wash your own dishes?? Ridiculous! Plus, you can’t even bring any wine. It’s not worth the money.
  • Greek Cooking w/ Despina: Taste of Workshop #2

    Bryan S. • December 2, 2018
    Despina was a wonderful host, the food was outstanding and we learned so much! We are already making some of the recipes that she taught us! Outstanding in every way and highly recommmended!!!!
