I took a parent/child pasta class and it was the best experience we had all summer. Everything was excellent from instruction, classroom setup, location, equipment and of course the food. I'm looking forward to trying many more classes!

This place is wonderful! Chef Jeff focuses on teaching you how to cook. It's not about showing up to learn how to prepare a recipe, it's about learning to use your senses and techniques to prepare all types of dishes after the class is over. For example, I took the French Bistro class. I have made soufflés for years. After Chef Jeff taught our class what the base should look like and why the egg whites are beat to medium peaks (and what medium peaks should look like), I have since prepared the best soufflés of my life! The atmosphere is fun with lots of laughs. I highly recommend!!!

My girlfriend and I had the great pleasure of taking a cooking class with The Sweet & Savory Classroom in July. The course was incredibly educational and very hands on. We enjoyed learning lots of new skills, as well as meeting all of the other participants. We will definitely be back for another class and highly recommend this fun and unique experience.
