The cooks studio in Huntington is an incredible experience, and I strongly encourage you to check this out. I live in CT , but a friend who knows that I like unique interactive activities suggested that I check this out, and I am so glad they did. I signed up for a Mozzarella and Burrata class. (Even though I have worked in the catering and food service business for 40 years, I had never made Mozzarella) . From the minute I walked in, the staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful I immediately felt comfortable. The format was simple and straight forward. The chef leads a food demo, which is a great intro and gives you time to get comfortable and learn, then you make the food based on their instructions that are in the recipe( which you take home). While you are cooking at your table, chef comes around to check on you and helps you along the way. Toward the end of everyone finishing, and while you are eating your own creation, there is a question and answer period. I learned so much in that time, it was as informative as the demo. There are so many left overs that the staff comes around to help you pack up your food to take home. What I loved was the fact that I never felt rushed. All of the staff, from Chef Cat to Cam, the chefs assistant, couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. By the time you leave you feel that you have spent the night cooking and having dinner...
Read moreWent here this weekend for a sushi making class with family. We had a great time, chef Dan was awesome and very helpful and friendly. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the class and even chatted with us afterwards. Everything was explained thoroughly and made sushi making seem so easy and doable at home! We loved that we were able to order bottles of wine & beer. We will definitely be back!
I gave 4 stars only because the end of the class seemed rushed. We wished we had an extra half hour so that we were able to eat the sushi we made! We had to bring everything home to eat since there wasn’t enough time. We were starving when we left because the class goes until 9:30pm and we hadn’t eaten dinner. I recommend either giving some time checks throughout the class or allowing us to cook along with the chef in the beginning to get started. Would also be great if we were able to sample Chef Dan’s work to hold us over. Otherwise, super enjoyable experience and we will still be...
Read moreWow! I am so happy that I tried a class (we made pierogis). I'm not much of a cook so was somewhat nervous and this class was perfect in so many ways. To begin, I loved that the beginning of the class was watching a quick demo by the chef. This process makes you realize that you can do it and when the time comes to do your own preparations, you know exactly what to do and how to do it. All of the pre-measured ingredients allow you to have enough time to actually cook a delicious meal and it was certainly enough to eat and bring home left overs. Chef Cat was truly fantastic - so fun and easy to follow, beyond helpful and clearly loves what she does. She went out of her way to go to each and every table to make sure everyone was having fun and able to finish on time. The Cooks Studio is a wonderful addition to Huntington and I now fully understand why the classes sell out. I've already purchased gift cards for others and can't wait to go back for...
