Thank you for a wonderful experience and for helping us create a great shared memory for our Christmas Party. We had fun, learned some great cooking tips and shared a wonderful meal. Jodie and Serta were very engaging, professional, helpful and fun. We would recommend this event to anyone looking for something a little different and with an interest in food and cooking.

We did a Mexican cooking class as part of a team building event a few days ago and it was great. We learnt how to make ceviche, pulled pork tacos and the best guacamole I've ever tasted. We all had a fun time and and are keen to try the recipes at home. Huge thanks to Mikiko and Jean-Luc.

Took my team here for a work bonding event and we had the best time. The setup is amazing and perfect that we all surround each other as we’re cooking. The teacher was knowledgeable and organisation was like clockwork. One of the best bowls of Ramen I have ever had too!

My experience attending the Molecular cuisine class with Jodie & Michelin was nothing short of brilliant. The class was well-organized, informative, and fun. We learned about the science behind molecular gastronomy and got to experiment with new techniques and ingredients. Jodie and Michelin were excellent instructors, answering all our questions and providing helpful tips along the way. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in exploring the fascinating world of molecular cuisine.
