My kids loved the 1 day camp here! They cooked real food from scratch start to finish: cheesy garlic bread twists, smores toaster pastries, and granola bars. They had so much fun and want to come back!
We had a great time , it was so much fun . The staff was very accommodating and took really good care of us . The experience was worth the money we paid . One thing I would think about twice is ordering the extras . We ordered double the artichoke dip and double the arugula salad . The artichoke dip was great but beware it’s a very small portion . We had 3 tablespoons. 2 of 4 people and 1 of 5 people . The side of the artichoke was about a 4 oz small bowl per table with small same size bowl of corn chips . Being a cooking school I would have thought crackers or baguette slices would have been better . Now moving to the salad . The size of the salad was about 4-5 oz square bowl per table!!! That salad was enough for if really really stretched maybe 2 people . By my experience I would not add the extras . It costs us 290 dollars for the artichoke and salad . They said the reason for the salad was that they didn’t enough urugula to make enough salad but did not offer a discount or anything . That’s the only reason I gave it only 4 stars . For the experience and the staff . I would do a 5 .
I came for a work team building event and had the best time! A big thank you to the staff would made our team experience so memorable. They educated us throughout the process and made cooking the meal so easy and fun. We made risotto, chicken parm, and cannolis.
Susie at Taste Buds was amazing! We attended a caregivers & kids cooking class and baked spooky cupcakes with my 3 year old. He enjoyed the whole entire process and we will definitely be back.
