Cooking with Beer (BYOB)

Really fun, food turned out amazing

Class was great! Fun, relaxing. Chef was helpful and knowledgeable.

The overall experience was fine. We won't be going back to Taste Buds Kitchen.... The instructor was good, but the class was waaay too big. She was barely able to stop by our stations once per course. The entire class felt very rushed. There was really no time to ask questions. The other people working in the kitchen didn't know anything about the meal being prepared or how to do it. So, all questions had to be directed to the chef who was always busy with one of the other 20 people in the class. I get having one "chef" that runs the class, but the other people working should have a basic knowledge of the recipe and how to do it. In the end we were able to make everything and it turned out ok. Some things like the cupcakes were under baked (we didn't do any of the actual baking only the mixing). We would have reduced the sauce for the chicken more had we realized the chicken was being baked and not put back into the sauce. (We were only given step by step instructions without an overview of how dishes were going to be made). Another odd thing was that were were given double the amount of chicken that we needed and half of it was still frozen. So, we ended up cooking with some of the frozen chicken because we had already put it in the pan by the time we realized we didn't need it all. The actual dishes while fine individually didn't have any kind of coherent theme to them besides the fact that they all used different beers to make them. So the entire meal was a little discombobulated in the end. Ultimately, as people who like cooking, we didn't learn anything and probably won't be using the recipes because they weren't amazing...

So fun and the recipes were delish!

Great class lots of fun and good direction too. Was really impressed with the byob set up they had ice buckets for bottles of wine corkscrews and nice glasses! Will definitely come back!
