Bilou - cooking classes — Local services in Munich

Attended the Indian cooking course with my girlfriend. We arrived exactly on time (at most a minute late) and they had already started (while we were away sorting out the aprons etc.) - which was a pretty disappointing start. The teacher was a very nice lady and the cooking studio is cosy, modern and clean. The girl serving was also nice and friendly. Unfortunately this was where the good things about the course ended. There were (I think) 12 people on the course which was easily 3 or 4 people too many to fit comfortably in the kitchen. Then what followed would better be described as a mass production line rather than a cooking course. There was no overview about how we were going to be cooking each dish - so the whole time I pretty much had no idea what was going on. Rather than everyone cooking their own curry we all contributed to cooking a few collective curries, but this just meant that people ended up spending ages doing the same task while others were doing other parts of the cooking - meaning that you had no idea of how some of the things were cooked?! Hence, by the end of the course, I can comfortably say I had no idea how half of the things we ate were made and spent most of the time preparing the same vegetables or standing idly around! I wouldn't be so bothered if the course wasn't so expensive in the first place. The dishes tasted quite nice at the end but nothing special (not restaurant style curry, which isn't an issue and we were told it wouldn't be like this, but also wasn't special enough for me to be interested in making it at home). Then, to top it off, at the end there was plenty of food left over but we weren't offered the chance to take any of it home...All the people were really nice and friendly but unfortunately I can't recommend this...

Bilou turned my disdain for cooking into true enjoyment in the kitchen. I have attended one live class in the studio and two classes online. Jana is so knowledgeable in so many different areas of cooking and gives you such great instruction for cutting, spicing, tasting, and, most importantly (for me), time management in the kitchen.

Jana puts a lot of thought into the meals we prepare and uses only the best and freshest ingredients. She is professional, friendly, engaging and helpful. The online classes are especially beneficial to me, as I have learnt how to cook a few different delicious meals in my own kitchen. I am much more motivated now to cook, and I am very grateful to...

Wonderful experience! We went with my boyfriend and his family to do Dim sum. Good quality cooking tools and great bottom less glass of wine. Overall, super fun activity to do with the family in a very cosy central corner of munich. The groups aren’t too small or too big. Perfect sizes to interact with people and have your own little bubble as well. I must highlight that we had some food allergies coming up while we were there and Jana and her team were super quick to adapt the dishes to the guest. This is not taking for granted. Very professional and inclusive. Thank you Jana for a pleasant night and a great dinner. We will cherished the...
