The chef was very knowledgeable and helpful. The facility is well equipped and lovely. My pie was delicious. I will definitely be taking another class.

The Bierocks class was a lot of fun and very well taught. It was a great way to spend an evening. We will be making Bierocks at home now that we know how to make them.

This started out as just a fun activity — something to do to unwind from work — but it turned out to be an incredibly detailed and engaging class from start to finish. Everything was so well organized, and the dish we made was surprisingly intricate. Honestly, it’s the kind of recipe I’d probably only make once a year for the holidays! If you’re looking to dive deep into the art of cooking, and meet some awesome people, then this is definitely the event space for you!

A wonderful cooking experience…a culinary bargain. This was my first cooking class and definitely will not be my last. An excellent chef who facilitated every technique, putting us at ease with her artful explanations and demonstrations, plus a wholly glorious introduction to the Culinary Center of KC! See you again very soon!!! 😁

Chef Catie was outstanding! The whole staff were friendly and just awesome. I learned several cooking tips and came home with delicious breakfast or anytime delicacies.

While in town on business, I had a free evening and decided to sign up for one of the cooking classes with Chef McPeake. The theme was Moroccan cuisine, and it was hands-on! There was plenty of time to learn, prep, cook, eat, and enjoy. The staff was helpful and patient, and not rushing anyone. Highly recommended, and I look forward to another visit in the future.

I have been here twice, once for a team building exercise for work and the other with my spouse. The front of the building is a store and the whole back is the kitchen where they have cooking classes. Both of my experiences have been great and the food has been absolutely amazing. What I like most is that you get to learn something and take that back home to try out and experiment with. You are probably saying well you can do that now why do you need them to do that. Well, to be honest you don't but it's a fun event of getting to have someone cook for you and you get to know what it should taste like and then you can take what you learned back home to try, so yes you can do this at home but it's the experience and ambience that is what really makes this an enjoyable experience.

Went in for the first time today to have some knives sharpened. Didn’t feel comfortable with the way I was being treated, decided to walk away from the employee at the counter. Within the first minute I knew this wouldn’t be a great experience.

Went here for a team building experience with work. The staff was friendly and it was overall a great experience. We did a mystery box, which did not come with clear directions, so I struggled. I'm the kind of cook that needs a recipe to follow. The team had a good time and I'd absolutely go again, maybe for a date night.

Stopped in on a whim while visiting across the street. The people were friendly, the place was exceptionally clean, and it smelled amazing. One of my group will be going back for a cooking class in the future. Their selection of cookware was nicely curated, so if you need a serious kitchen tool, they will have it.

We had a large group for lunch. We were seated at 2 tables and one table was served much faster than the other. Having said that the food was amazing! The ambiance was cozy with so many things on the walls to see. Super fun visually. We all ordered different things and everyone loved their meals. We had fish, quiche, soup, salads, sandwiches and dessert.....oh the dessert...save room, worth every bite!

We were given a Cooking Class for Christmas. We have never been to one but always wanted to go. Our class was called "A 'Big Easy' Love Brunch." There was 6 prep tables and 6 eating tables and each table prepared a dish for the buffet. It was a lot of fun preparing the dishes with others and seeing the outcome on the buffet. I would recommend this to anyone.
