I just wanted to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and experience from my recent virtual cooking class with Home Cooking New York. I must admit that I was somewhat suspect and skeptical of the outcome of this experience. Having attended in-person classes in the past, I was unsure how this experience would translate in a virtual environment.I scheduled the cooking class for my niece and I. She had a strong desire to learn how to make dumplings and I thought it would be a great bonding adventure. We had a great time and my niece truly loved the experience. Our fantastic experience could not have happened without acknowledging the help and talent of a great Chef/Instructor. We were fortunate enough to have Chef Susan Streit Sherman as our Instructor. She always had a sunny disposition, had patience of a saint and worked very well with my niece. My niece has not stopped talking about her experience. The real test came when the fruits of our labor quickly disappeared and there was not a trace of a dumpling to be had or found.Thank you again for providing an experience and memory of a lifetime.

Overall this is a somewhat mediocre cooking class for the price and current competition.I went to the Thai cooking session with my wife where we learned to make a soup, rice, curry, and fish dish. It was enjoyable but I wouldn’t go back.I think the biggest problem with Home Cooking’s setup is that they physically don’t have the resources to allow each student to do any hot cooking. There is only one electric portable burner at the table (which only the instructor uses) and the sole hands-on experience you get is cutting vegetables or preparing ingredients. The rest of the time you spend listening and watching the instructor cook. That’s really it.The instructor was knowledgeable but I didn’t feel like I learned too much more than what I would’ve by watching videos or reading recipes.The food “we” made was good, except for the fish dish which my wife and I actually did not enjoy.In the end I can’t really recommend this class given the high price, and that there are now many cooking class options available in NYC.

Im sorry about the fate of the lemon, but I have to say, those are harsh sentiments for our business based on one bad lemon. A lot can happen to a lemon when it is shipping from NY!I hope Benjamin enjoys tonights class.Best,Jennifer-----------------To Whom It May Concern,My sons company ordered this gift box for our holiday. When I opened the box, one lemon was rotten , the other one was very unfresh. This is so bad for your company reputations.Best regards,Stephanie

We hosted an intimate cooking class with our clients and it was excellent. To Jennifer and Home Cooking - we wanted to THANK YOU for hosting such a wonderful event! We have received the most gracious, lovely notes from our clients. They had a wonderful evening and truly enjoyed the delicious food and wine!We will be sure to recommend Home Cooking to our colleagues. It was so much fun working with you and we cannot thank you enough for helping us build our brand and strengthen our client relationships.

I found this while looking for a special gift for my daughter who loves New York and loves to cook. From the start, Jennifer was so easy to work with. Professional and responsive. We chose to do a private virtual lesson with my family so 3 other households across the nation. We chose the dumplings and received the shopping list and zoom link in ample time. We had Chef Sue and she was so personable and delightful. She made sure each household was getting it and the dumplings turned out great. Will look for more classes for my daughter.

We took 2 online cooking classes through Home Cooking NY during the pandemic. It was a great way for us to cook things we otherwise would not have. The classes were jus the right size - only about 8-9 others linked in, so not so big where you wouldn’t be able to stop the instructor to ask questions. We enjoyed the classes and would recommend it.

Another outstanding experience for my teen (7.2021). Still tired of seeing her on social media and video games during the pandemic, I decided to enroll her in Home Cooking NY again this year. Im so pleased. The recipes were just great. We (the family) have hovered around the prepared food and consumed it in no time flat. My favorite - this year was the Mediterranean meal, but every meal was incredible. Yummy! Thank you so much! Well done.

I took the Mediterranean cooking class here with Erica and it was amazing. Erica has a lot of energy and a lot of knowledge. She explained everything step and also explained the history behind many of the ingredients. She explained why we cooked things in a certain order. There was plenty for everyone to do. The food was fantastic and the recipes were easy to follow. I definitely feel like I could replicate a lot of it at home.At the end we all are together and there was plenty to go around. Thanks only downside was that we didnt eat until the class was over around 8:15. I would reccomend eating a snack a head of time

Took “how to cook fish” tonight with John. Everything was delicious! Learned a lot. Met nice people. It was real cooking. Things you can actually replicate 3 dishes. 3, 5 stars. Totally worthwhile.!!

Home Cooking is the perfect name for this cooking school. The warm, cozy and friendly environment feels like youre at home. The classes are hands on and our instructor, Erica, was very entertaining and really knowledgeable. The lesson was very smooth and well organized. Plus, the food we made was DELICIOUS!The owner, Jennifer, was there assisting and she was very nice and very passionate about food. She also teaches there. Id definitely recommend it.

Wonderful cooking school! Enjoying their online classes!

I took Korean cooking, and it was an extremely informative, engaging, and yummy class. The instructor, John, was open to all of our questions, and actively encouraged them. There was a good balance of hands-on chopping and watching as he explained key methodologies. I loved that I learned enough fundamentals that I feel comfortable making these recipes at home (and possibly eyeball proportions if I should choose to-- recipes with exact amounts also provided). A definite recommend, and hope to take more classes there.

Jennifer and Home Cooking are fabulous. We were a group of 8 women (all experienced cooks) who came into the city for a market tour and then we cooked lunch together back in her cooking studio. Jennifer is warm and easy-going. She helped us choose interesting items at the market and had us try some things we hadnt ever tried before and they were delicious. She was open to all of our ideas and then with arms loaded with fresh goodies, we went to her cooking school to make lunch. Lunch was absolutely delicious and she provided us with recipes of the items that we made so we could recreate them at home. Simple ingredients cooked well make the best meals. She was full of tips and a pleasure to spend time with that day. We will be back!

Such a fun experience! Really hands on and while I often cook at home I felt I was able to learn a lot from the class!

My friend and I had a fantastic evening with our instructor John and our cooking class group of 9. We learned so much about cooking fish and at the end had a great meal with 3 types of fish cooked with 3 different methods and perfect rice. Now we know all the secrets and tricks to buy and cook fish (& some rice secrets too!)Thanks for a fun...interactive ....and delicious evening John. We will be back to take another class soon.

Attended french bistro class. It was great and John the instructor was perfect. Great balance of imparting knowledge but being practical. Will definitely attend more classes.

I contacted Jennifer about doing a private cooking party for my mothers birthday. It was WONDERFUL! Jennifer was amazing, the food was delicious, and we had such a great time. Jennifer helped us customize the menu for all of our weird food idiosyncrasies and put together a fantastic feast. I can’t wait to try out the recipes again on my own!

Good course for someone who a] knows jack or b] knows some, but would like to know MORE. Very clean functional studio. Knowledgeable & sociable instructor who kept close eyes on everyone. Was a good time : ]

An absolutely wonderful experience all around! We had 11 people for a corporate team building event and everyone really enjoyed every moment. The food was amazing, Erica the chef was great at explaining things while keeping it fun and light with a group of Type A personalities. I would definitely go back for corporate or private events and absolutely recommend Home Cooking for your next cooking class or event.

They sure know how to make small events easy. They even gather paper items needed and have them ready. Keep up the great work.

Very helpful and educational class! I would describe my class as cooking 101. We learned basic knife skills, what to stock your pantry and fridge with, and how to prep ingredients for efficient dinner cooking all week. Jennifer was a pleasure to learn from!

I have taken two classes so far, Thai cuisine and Korean cuisine. The chef instructors were great! Super friendly, knowledgeable and they gave helpful tips to improve knife skills and recipe tweeks. The food we made was delicious and I cant wait to try at home. It was a fun night and BYOB if you want.

This was such an amazing class. Ive taken many class in the past but this one was so new and refreshing. This course was the spring lighter side of northern Italy. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who loves vegetables ! Once again home cooking New York always surprises me with their creative minds coming up with this course . I also would definitely look into their other courses A++++

So much fun - I loved the cooking for the week class. Tons of information about ingredients and local foods, friendly chef in a bright and cheery kitchen. Highly recommend!

Great class. Took Knife Skills with JohnJ He was awesome Definitely taking more classes. Worth every penny.

I signed up for a class and they cancelled. I signed up again and they cancelled again. Only this time they waited last minute and my sorry butt was already on their front door. They apologized and offered a free cook book and class. I refused the class and they never sent the book. The only reason I dont rate them lower is because at least they refunded my money. They seem flaky at best. I wouldnt bother with them anymore.

Fantastic class. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for enjoying what I love! It was my pleasure to cook for you! I look forward to cooking for everyone in my new place on June 19th! When you love food and love people like I do, you want to share that joie de vivre with those of the same spirit. Come and be part of the flavor of fun. Bring your smile and bring your appetite.

Fear of fish no more!! A day later seared salmon on my plate (not a flop) and cant wait for my next class. Truly a wonderful place.

Jennifer,I took a class last week (Friday, September 19th)...with John..Gnocchi class. I never even knew you could make them with ricotta ...I cannot tell you how I loved it..and loved Frank.His passion for cooking is contagious. He taught us so many tricks in the kitchen.The gnocchi was fun to make...everything was fun to make.And then we sat down to eat...Everything was perfect..so delicious.Just wonderful…John is such an asset to your company.Ive told so many people about the class and John.I will see you guys again.LOVE, LOVETheresa LaSalle(I treated my friend for her birthday to that class too..she felt the same) It was a magical night.The other participants were such a nice group too.Thank you so, so much.

Please also have this home cooking in miami Florida soon thanks so much

So fun! Learned a ton!

I took Bootcamp I and II (both 4 week classes, once a week) and had Chef John for Bootcamp I and Chef Erica for Bootcamp II. Both bootcamps were AMAZING! I highly recommend this class to anyone who has the slightest interest in cooking. Will definitely consider booking another class through Home Cooking New York.
