We received this experience as a Christmas gift this year, and I have to say, what a great idea!
We had such a great time, guided and supported all the way bu Chef Chris and her amazing colleague Bonnie (i hope i got their names spelled properly, but this happened Friday Jan 16 🫣).
Chef Chris is funny, very friendly, made us feel we were a family cooking together. We learned new tricks and tips, met new people, had great food and ended the week in an amazing mood.
Highly recommend. We will go back for sure.

I've been yearning to join a cooking class for the longest time (especially one focused on pasta making). I couldn't have asked for a better initiation than The Chef Upstairs: the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, our tutors Chris and Boni were phenomenal, fun and eager to share tips and their experience, and the resulting meal was delicious (shout out to the drinks as well, particularly the rum ginger cocktail). This totally scratched a culinary itch for me, and I'm already looking forward to my next event with them!

We had a great time at the Chef Upstairs. We were greeted warmly by Felicia and chef Chris was a delight to work with. She managed to demonstrate to everyone and then let us put to practice what we observed. Felicia took care of everyone logistics wise, and her cocktails were amazing.
We are definitely coming back for more lessons.
