Jacqueline went above and beyond our expectations. She was prepared for our cooking class visit and all dishes were precut with ingredients easily accessible. Her environment is clean and the food is so natural and healthy with all the herbs and lemons coming from her garden. This was a surprise day planned for my best friend's birthday an Jacqueline was accommodating with me bringing balloons, cake, and our favorite margaritas. Her mom even baked an orange cake as a surprise. We even had food left over which Jacqueline graciously provided styrofoam containers for. Portions are big and she is very giving so go hungry and don't be shy. It's well worth the money spent here, as we would have spent the same or more for these amount of appetizers in a nice restaurant. Healthy, authentic, and delicious!
Our experience with Nenu was absolutely fantastic! Truly exceeded expectations! Her home is gorgeous, her garden is incredible and her cooking is masterful! Due to COVID my partner and I have been unable to travel. Going to Nenu's was the most authentic cultural experience we could have had. She is so kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. We loved everything we learned from her and hope to cook some of these dishes at home from now on! Thank you for everything Nenu!
Such an incredible cooking experience!! This was truly such a unique night and we learned so much about South Indian and Soul Food and about their influences. The hosts were super knowledgeable and welcoming, and the food that we made was really tasty! 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience, wonderful hosts! We came across this fantastic activity whilst searching for something a bit different to the ordinary touristy excursions, via British Airways experiences. Don and Nancy were wonderful hosts and made us feel welcome and relaxed. Nancy had contacted us via The Travelling Spoon beforehand to ask if we would prefer a breakfast type snack rather than the charcuterie, as our experience started at 10.30am, which was great, so our day started with coffee, delicious homemade granola bites with fresh fruit and yoghurt and getting to know our hosts. The pizza making itself was excellent, picking up key culinary tips, constructing the pizza, personalising the tomato sauce and the extra ingredients (we went for spinach and sausage) whilst getting to chat about Chicago and travel! We were really pleased with how our pizzas turned out and tasted. After eating pizza with a Chicago skyline view, the experience ended with a delicious homemade lemon curd pie and liqueur. Getting to take home the recipes too was brilliant, so we can now attempt to re-make the pizza, salad and granola. A really enjoyable and unique foodie experience in the heart of Chicago and something that we highly recommend!! Thank you Don and Nancy for such a wonderful day and for teaching us how to make proper pizza!
Fantastic! Really enjoyed the professionalism of the chef. It was delicious and also educational. Would definitely recommend this event.
Our family had a wonderful cooking demonstration with Kavitha. She is a great host and takes time to explain the different spices and history of the food that we prepared. The meal was delicious - paneer butter masala, tadka daal, and rasmalai. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!
What a fun and delicious meal share! Melody was such a welcoming host, and the dinner she made was absolutely delicious. I honestly couldn't stop eating the rice even after I was full :) Thanks for everything, Melody!
We had Sunday brunch with Nate and Kristen. Delicious! Mimosas, egg and sausage skillet, most amazing buttermilk biscuits, and homemade doughnuts with fresh cream and peaches! What a great couple... we really enjoyed meeting them! They are excellent hosts and great conversationalists. We even had a brief visit from Princess Filomena :)
Etienne has great international insight from his days in France and simply knows what good food is! Never a dull conversation have I had with him. It's impossible to not enjoy his presence.
Samm and Erika were awesome hosts! They whipped up a super tasty and #fresh meal, paired with delish vino, served up in a sweet Hyde Park coach house. A 100% great experience!
Heidi was a wonderful instructor. She was thoughtful about set up so we were able to see everything she did even in the virtual format, was flexible in adapting the experience to what we were looking for, and ultimately provided all of us with a fun morning and a delicious brunch!
Amar's dinner party was AWESOME!! The dishes were well executed. Amar is definitely a pro! He uses the local and seasonal ingredients and is very creative in terms of using spices. I'm very impressed. I highly recommend going to Amar and Carolin's mealshare if you get a chance!
Tony's place is the place to be. Great food and great company all around. In true fashion, the Soul Food meal event was a family affair with mom, sister, and the wife contributing to the feast. Tony is one of the most personable person you will ever meet whether it be at his place or anywhere else. A must attend!
Naila hosts at her home in Keller with her husband. She is excited to share all about her heritage, cuisine and food traditions. Start your experience with a cooking class followed by a meal you helped prepare. Join Naila in her kitchen for a 1-2 hours hands-on cooking class to learn some of her favorite dishes, that have resulted by combining flavors from Bangladesh, where she grew up, and Texas, the place she now calls home. You will learn to make Bengali-style quesadillas - beef or chicken keema (minced meat cooked with Bengali spices) sandwiched between two tortillas with cheese and grilled to a crispy perfection and her signature dum aloo, using whole new potatoes from the nearby supermarket. Or she can also teach you to make a typical Bengali meal of chicken seekh kebab or chicken curry and lentil and rice biryani. After your cooking class, join Naila at the dining table to share the meal you helped prepare, which will be served with salad and jardah, a sweet and buttery vermicelli dessert.
BA was a warm and welcoming host for my cooking experience with her and my guest. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun and engaging cooking class. It was a lovely time.
Cooking this spicy pork sausage dinner is a special tradition in BA’s family. And she is so excited to share with travelers how to make this homemade pork sausage. BA’s dad, Ray, learned to cook this dish from his parents and then passed on this family tradition to his family. Join BA on this unique and fun experience and learn to make sausages using her family recipe. Everyone will participate in the grinding, mixing, spicing, tasting and stuffing the sausages! After you make the sausages, sit down at the dining table to enjoy a meal of roasted potatoes, salad, sausage, and dessert.
We had an incredible time with George! The food was absolutely incredible, his home is lovely, and he and his wife were so much fun. Would highly highly recommend!
Cooking with Eric was a unique experience. It was a one of kind evening with good food and a lot of laughter.
So much fun! Everything was neatly organized and easy to understand. The host and his wife were super friendly and talked us through all the dishes. The food also tasted really good, we were able to modify all spice levels.
Unique experience you can’t get anywhere else! Our meal was so beautifully presented and tasted equally good! I learned several new cooking tips that I’ll use forever! Chef Brittney was warm and welcoming in her home! A must if you’re visiting Seattle and want a special experience just for you!
