Samantha Heap29/01/2024Had an amazing experience with VIVE COOKING SCHOOL. I participated in the laksa cooking class and the chef and assistant chef made the experience super easy and fun. The ingredients are all measured and prepared. The chef demonstrates and then you follow. It was such a great experience to cook with foods and spices I don’t usually cook with. Whilst being in an environment with amazing and helpful people. Other guest were very nice and overall an experience I’d highly recommended to anyone.Sandra Deeth28/01/2024My daughter & I enjoyed a wonderful 3 hours at Vive's Live Like a Roman cooking class last night making Beef Carpaccio & Gnocchi and watching how to make Tiramisu. Mikoko demonstrated clearly and cheerfully, making it easier to replicate the meals. The food was delicious and these cooking classes are a great way to liven up your kitchen, teach you techniques & meet new food enthusiasts. Thanks to Sirto too (hope I have the name right)! Loved it, wholly recommend this and we will do other classes.Theodora Cambouris24/01/2024amazing and lots of fun, the chef on the day 'Jodie' is very engaging, makes cooking an experience and has a wealth of knowledge - highly recommend Vive Cooking SchoolNaomi Lam22/01/2024Fun, well organised, beautiful kitchen and fantastic team.
