Best Professional Cookery Courses Seattle Near Me

Rick Vanover: Fun group outing.

L. Campos: Had a great first class with the Hot Stove Society. Everyone seemed to have a good time and learned some things along the way. This hands-on class was programmed for pairs to team up together. So, unless you want a complete stranger handling the food you eat, best to sign up with a relative or close friend. Perhaps not all classes are formatted this way. Look forward to taking more in the future.

Alexander Lavell: Great place for a team outing - fun staff, great food, excellent learning experience.

Teri Camus: We have been wanting to attend a recording of the Hot Stove Society for ever! We had such a good time being a part of the live audience.A wonderful breakfast, and an overall enjoyable way to spend your morning! We love listening to Tom and Thierry, so it was great to see them in person.

Ron “ronskidude”: The Fried Squid we ordered was "too fried" and salty. At first it tasted okay but I guess the salt settled at the bottom. Squid shouldn't really be too fried or else it becomes too chewy.They did remove the fried squid from our bill so that was good. The other things we ordered was pretty good and the ambiance was great. The server was really attentive at first but I guess she got busy.Price is fair, food matches the price except for our bad experience on the fried squid.Parking is plenty but paid.

Soulat Khan: The best team dinner experience. Julie and the HSS staff were incredible 🙏🏼

David De Long: These two chefs are fun to watch and listen to

April: Experienced a team building outing here and loved it! The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and adaptive to the needs and skill level of each group member. They have a wonderful thoughtful thing going here. Regardless of dietary needs, comfort level or background I believe there is something everyone can enjoy about an event here!

Siwen Tang: Had a team event here on a Friday night and it was a great experience! The staff at this workshop and the hotel were so friendly and welcoming! They coordinated so well and the class was really organized!

Ron Storkel: Everything was excellent. Very happy to visited.

Sabrina Englot: The place is nice, clean, organized, and the staff friendly. However it was incredibly boring for a social event and I think is meant to purely be a culinary education course rather than fun activity. The food we tried we good but the portions were small for the cost of course. Not much hands on cooking, hardly at all, which I think led to the lack of fun.

Eric Ringger: Delightful team building activity preparing an Italian meal with personal coaching from house chefs!

Adam Hendricks: so I don't consider a few paper towels being on the floor a problem. The only thing I might change would be that my team would have liked to know the exact amount of time we had available prior to our arrival so that we could choose a dish that can be properly prepared in that amount of time or less. All in all it was a very unique and enjoyable experience and I would definitely do it again if the opportunity presented itself.

MJ Koenig: . And your descriptive cards were a very nice and appreciated touch.The venue

Tami Burkley: So much fun, great staff, wonderful team building event. Hopefully will get to go back soon.

Gerardo Casillas: BRC were great to work with, they had a ton of food and beverage options to choose from and were always open to customizations or special requests. They were super accomodating to vegan and gluten dishes as well as we had some special cocktails and desserts in mind and they provided them with no issues. All our guests are still talking about how tasty all was. David S. Was a pleasure to work with and always offering valuable suggestions regarding food, decorations and even layout!

Maria Foster: My team did an Iron Chef competition w/Pike Place shopping event with Blue Ribbon Cooking and it was amazing! The team had a great time and was still raving about it days later. I've been setting up events for Google for 6+ years and this is the best reaction I've ever had at any of my events. The staff was so kind, organized and fun to work with. Everyone loved the aprons Blue Ribbon had embroidered for us and I can say from start to finish, we had a great time.

David Hamid: It was an outstanding experience working with Kelsey and Blue Ribbon over the weekend at a mutual client's wedding. With her expert help, calm demeanor, and positive attitude in coordination, she made my job as the DJ go so smoothly and I believe we exceeded the clients expectations. Everyone was complimenting how the entire formal ceremony and reception went efficiently. I look forward to working with Kelsey and Blue Ribbon in the future. God bless.DJ David @ Groove On Hyde Street DJ

Grace Um: Blue Ribbon catered my baby shower, and I cannot recommend them enough. We probably called and researched 4-5 different caterers, and none of them matched Blue Ribbon's fantastic menu, friendliness and professionalism of their staff, ease of booking/payment, and just overall a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to have Dave and his team for the event. So many of our guests commented what a lovely job they did and asked what catering company they were with. They were punctual, communicative, self-sufficient, and personable. Thank you so much!

Riley Green: !!

L Noble: Fabulous event catered by Blue Ribbon Cooking yesterday. Wonderful food, beautiful presentation, great service from delightful staff. Absolutely five star job!

Varun Puri: Incredible team offsite!! Dave and patty are awesome

Cornelius Braam: . All of the decorations were perfect, the timeline moved as scheduled, and everyone had a great time. This was only possible with his help. And to top it all off, the food was absolutely delicious, just what we wanted after talking with him and the chefs at our tasting, and in sufficient quantity for all of our guests. I only wish I wasn't so busy so that I could have eaten more of it! I give my highest recommendation to working with BRC and particularly Dave. I would hire them again, but luckily I will not need to have another wedding for myself!

Heli Suokko: I recently had the absolute pleasure of attending an Iron Chef competition at the Blue Ribbon Cooking School with my industry colleagues, I loved every minute of it!Blue Ribbon staff was exceptionally helpful and the competition was beyond fun. Definitely ++ experience and can't recommend highly enough!

Karen Reichert: 😍

Karen Wheless: Very fun. Chef Peter had lots of info to share. The ramen was delicious-be sure to come hungry!

Emma Bankson: We had an amazing time! Great date with your partner or friends. Learned so much from weighing flour vs measuring when making fresh pasta dough, knife skills, and more. Our chef was absolutely amazing as well. We will be taking another class for sure.

Madeleine Farias: Loved Chef Mary! She has great skills to impart and we definitely left the class with new skills of our own. She is funny and easy to chat with, and very encouraging throughout the whole cooking process. Thank you, Chef Mary!

Becky Scott: Chef Unika was very organized & a relaxed teacher. The food was delicious. We had a fun family evening.

Emily Bowden: We went into this class with few expectations, and Chef Mary exceeded all of them! She is very knowledgeable and super fun - you're basically getting dinner and a show. I would say this class is more of a group class geared towards newer chefs, but my boyfriend and I still learned some new skills to add to our repertoire. The class was intimate and fun and the food was delicious. Would definitely take another class with Chef Mary!

Julia Lovelace-Johnson: We had an excellent experience! The chef was friendly, knowledgeable and funny.

James Argento: Class was great. It was small and personal with just two others. Chef Mary was personable and very instrutive. The food we helped prepare was excellent.

Michael Bailey: This cooking class was a lot of fun. Mary was a great instructor and made the class fun!! I highly recommend this class 😀

Mary Ann Lambert: Chef Mary was so enjoyable and funny! We loved this class.

Ginna Cuadra: Lovely time, delicious dinner! 😊

Suzanne Lindsay: This was such a special experience! We learned so much about how to make sushi, but also the ingredients themselves, and the restaurant industry and enjoyed such good company at the table of Chef. Highly recommend Chef Shinya's courses!

Skip Ferderber: This is one of Seattle's premier cooking schools. Afficionados know that when The Pantry posts its cooking class schedule on the Internet, bookings per class may be gone within the hour, Seriously! Tonight I attended my second class, a 3-hour hands on session on three different Thai noodle dishes. What a treat to cook and taste real Pad Thai that wasn't made with ketchup. Ugh.

Gina So: The classes are great for beginners. I would recommend looking up who's teaching the classes because some of them can be enjoyable or mediocre.

L Coffee: Loved the experience of a cooking class. I know the price point may not be accessible for everyone, but it is a great experience of learning and you have the opportunity to eat together and enjoy what you cooked at the end of the class. I went on my own and easily met the people around me. Everyone was very inclusive and accepting.I took their Fall Farmer's Market class and am excited to take another in the future. I loved learning how to use local foods that are in season to make some delicious well-round meals. you receive a copy of all the recipes as well. I later made the delicious soup as well as the pear deserts at home on my own.

Patricia Melnicki: On Saturday, May 13, my daughters and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my son’s Finacee’ at The Pantry. We made fabulous noodles and feasted on the amazing beef braise Sarah prepared. Everyone loved the experience. Welcoming, warm, professional and incredibly talented. We will definitely be back for additional classes!Thank you!Pat Melnicki

Dafna Bitton: The classes are always epic. Detroit style pizza was dank

Jamie C: I love doing things in the city besides only going out to eat and drink. This was a really fun cooking class. We are locals and enrolled in the salmon class. Figured that's a good first step for PNWers. The instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable about salmon and having lived in the area my whole life, we even learned new things and new parts you can eat!I have taken cooking classes in various areas and at various companies and they are all a little bit different. This one is more collaborative where you work on one large dish per course with most of the team and all eat together I have taken others were each small group of whoever you came with makes their own three courses. It kind of depends on your personal style and how busy and involved you like to be which one you would prefer. This class is pretty slow, paced and relaxing and you get to enjoy wine while you were cooking.Another major plus is that the company is really understanding with food, allergies or restrictions and is able to help you find a class that will work best for you. I really appreciate that with my recent gluten allergy discovery. I have experience, mixed empathy with businesses and would definitely prefer to know if my allergy is a major roadblock to enjoyment and if I would be wasting my money or not. Just be honest!Overall, they change their classes every month, and I definitely would attend again !

Connor D: . The hosts provide a really fun and educational environment and there's lots of natural connection with your fellow classmates, as well as plenty of opportunities to ask questions. You get a sense that you are really learning from the experts!A common sentiment of attendees

Lennart Wong: . It is quite a different experience than having dinner at a restaurant. The people serving you also were the chefs that made the food. So you can ask them about the food and how they made it. The food were so delicious! I think I am hooked!!!

James Mbattiah: Good services

Jennifer Land: My 11 year old daughter attended camp July 2023 and my husband and I were blown away by Silvana’s Dessert Academy. Silvana is skilled in teaching the kids and we could not believe the delicious food that came home to us every evening. The quality of the food and the number of dishes/desserts the kids made each day was amazing. My daughter learned a lot and had a wonderful time.

Michal Cohen: came to Seattle to celebrate their Grandfather's 70th birthday. The day they spent with Silvana was the height of their vacation. They made 3 lovely and creative birthday cakes that our family are enjoying very much. Silvana has a profesional attitude and a way with children. No doubt we will use Silvana's Dessert Academy again when our granddaughters are coming to visit.

Jake Hargis: when I made an error counting children for the class! She set up another place "no problem" and they got to work.The party was two months ago and Sage has been baking and cooking since! Did I mention she's 11? I bought her different pans and modeling chocolate and now she won't stop with project's.Thanks again, Sylvana for your services! If you're on the fence, about having your kids party with Sylvana, go ahead and sign up, you won't be disappointed!

Jeanie Zwick: Silvana is so great with the kids! My daughter went with a group of 5 of her friends for a day camp and ended up leaving with so much knowledge, confidence and food to feed an army. It was so impressive!!! Would definitely recommend.

Maria Carney: They made gorgeous red velvet cakes to bring home, and over a 3.5-hour party also ate pizza, played on the zip line, opened a piñata, and had a party with another cake Silvana made - amazing! Highly recommend it.

Daniela Witten: We held my 8-year old's birthday party at Silvana's Dessert Academy. It was perfect!! The kiddos had a great time swinging on the zipline in the backyard, whacking the pinata with a rolling pin, and learning how to make truffles. They were excited to bring home the fruits of their labor: absolutely gorgeous truffles. The birthday cake was incredibly delicious. And also, Silvana was able to accommodate some pretty challenging food allergies. We will absolutely have a party with Silvana again!!

Seattle S: Either you need a delicious custom cake for your special occasion or you are interested in your kid learning how to create an amazing cake by him/herself , you can find both just right here at Silvana's Desserts and Academy! It is a professionally run dessert and baking school where your child can join other students in a fun and creative professional environment, while learning lifelong kitchen skills. The Academy is run by pastry chef and dessert caterer Silvana Junge, who prides herself in using only fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients in both her classes, and her confections.There are great selection of the cooking camps here. And it’s also a great place for your child’s next unique birthday party! No doubts it’s going to be an unforgettable experience!

B L E: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityWe learned about this Academy through family and we're fans. Great attention, great food and great instruction. Might be a little on the pricier side, but on the plus side: if you sign up for a class, your child will be bringing home a LOT of food. Totally recommend this place.

W Kim: It's an amazing class! My daughter liked the class very much. This place is far from where we live, but it is worth it.

Yohan Ahn: . We walked into a beautiful party table with a stunning chocolate cake. The kids baking station was ready with all the tools including cute matching aprons and hats

Cheryl Kaiser: Our daughter has attended Silvana's camps for many years, and these are always a highlight of her summer and school break activities. Silvana brings passion, warmth, and talent to these camps, and the kids leave feeling accomplished with new skills and cooking/baking interests. The kids bring home so much delicious food with high quality ingredients, and it's such a treat to have a personal chef that week. We've also amassed a large collection of recipes over the years, and the kids can recreate their favorite dishes and desserts at home.

Carolyn Rohrs: . The kids have created some amazing desserts AND bring home a ton

Susie Wilkening: Silvana is great with kids.

Kim P: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueSilvana has amazing camps. The kids learn a lot, have fun and bring home amazing food. Silvana is the kindest, most patient teacher I know. We have been doing classes and camps with her for 5 years and look forward to more years. If you are worried about the cost-keep in mind you won’t have a grocery bill that week!

s s: Great experience for kids, and amazing food for all.

Vanessa Núñez Ramírez: Best cakes in Seattle!I'm in love with Passion Fruit Cake

Sun Lee: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy kids enjoyed this class so much while making variety of authentic foods and desserts. They brought a huge portion of food back to home so that out whole family enjoyed for several days. Highly recommended.

Danielle Isbell: We had a wonderful experience at the Greek cooking class! We not only learned to prepare some delicious dishes, but we also learned some fundamentals in cooking that we still use today.Learning how to properly balance a dish and how to tell what ingredients are missing toake you food really pop.I would highly recommend a Hip Cooks class and can't wait to take another one!

Mark Walker: Interesting food classes

Claire Giardina: We had an incredible class with Bonny. We made cocktails accompanied with beautiful hors d'oeuvres. Bonny brings huge energy to her classes and she is a delightful hostess. Try a class with Bonny. You won't be disappointed. And if you double lucky, Christine will be showing you the Art of Cocktails in the same class. That's a double play, Hipcooks style.Claire & Rich

Celeste Summer: Had an amazing time! Highly recommended!Our instructor taught us knife skills, guided us through each of the dishes, and was entertaining throughout the course. I can't wait to take another class next time I come into town

Derek Sakamoto: My husband and I had the MOST AMAZING experience at Diane's Market Kitchen on Valentines Day. Diane has such a warm and inviting presence, and is also a wealth of knowledge with regards to food and food production. As residents of Seattle, she really gave us an education about the abundant produce and protein that are available in the PNW. I wish more people knew about her classes because she presents an experience that is 'so Seattle', and she makes food both interesting and approachable. I cannot wait to take another class with Diane, I highly recommend her business - experiences like these are few and far between these days, and I am so happy that she exists!

Sebastian Arrangoiz: First time I write a review here in Google.I was the only person that showed up to class and Diane still hosted it, which goes on to show how passionate she is about her craft. She even fed me all the dishes we made! She will not only teach how you to cook, but she will also tell you where to get the best ingredients which is also important. Her classes are good for people of all levels, even for donkeys that can't cook like myself! Diane is friendly, energetic, charismatic and has a strong passion for food and cooking. Strongly recommend her. If you got a date or a foodie friend, this is the place to go.

Laurent Pepin: Amazing experience. We cooked delicious food while learning about everything that goes into making great meals. Will definitely go again.

Jordan Shrago: Amazing experience. A group of us went for a work/team event and had a blast. It is a very cute/quaint space right by the water. This is how cooking classes should be. You get to participate and learn a lot of practical knowledge along the way. Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere. I would do this once a month if I lived in Seattle.

heidi balus: Diane truly cares about delivering an amazing experience. Her knowledge of the community, food, plus her wit made this an extraordinary experience for our team. You will come away feeling like you spent some time with family you didn’t know you had and they fed you a really delicious meal.

Kelsey K: Diane's Market Kitchen was an incredible experience! We had so much fun. Diane is so personable, skilled, and knowledgable. You can tell that she is truly passionate about her work, and she took the time to make the experience personal and special. I immediately recommended Diane's class to my whole friend group and enthusiastically encourage anyone to go!

Whitney Baglien: A fantastic experience, period. Connected with her and the class as a whole so much. I’m not being dramatic when I say my creativity was sparked again for my passion of cooking. Cooking can heal the body if done correctly and she portrayed that with her passion of cooking. The stories she tells and the knowledge she has about food makes me want more knowledge. I was craving all her tips and tricks by the end of the class. She knows what she is doing. A good hands one experience. Walked away with a smile. Learned many new things and also relearned a few things with a different approach. Very enjoyable evening. Wish I could take all her classes.

Juliane Ross: Diane will simultaneously teach, inspire, and entertain you. Her approach to sourcing quality, accessible ingredients is what makes her recipes the best. She’s kind, curious, and a great local source for food hacks and insider info on the best producers. While learning to make dinner, I learned tips that will change the way I shop and cook. You can tell she loves to learn and innovate while she teaches her students to do the same. Highly recommend! We Will be back!

Paul Meitler: with Diane - first a tour of the Pikes Place Market and then an INCREDIBLE evening of awesome food. Learned so much! Diane is incredibly engaging and fun - you can't ask for a better host. I would recommend this experience to everyone. Enjoy!
