Susan's cooking class was a delightful experience! Her warm professionalism and engaging teaching style made the whole day fun and informative. The green market tour in Union Square was a highlight, as we handpicked the freshest ingredients for our dishes. Back at the school, the hands-on cooking experience was a blast. I met wonderful people and learned so much about preparing delicious food. The ricotta ravioli with radish leaf pesto was a revelation - pure culinary genius! If you love cooking and want to learn from the best, I highly recommend this class.

John Scoff's Indian cooking class was amazing! We made three complete dishes, as well as homemade naan bread, paneer and a chutney. We participated in all of the steps of the process, and John walked us through lots of tips and tricks and skills necessary for successful Indian cuisine. The class was well organized, and the group dinner at the end was both fun and delicious! I can't recommend Home Cooking NY and John's classes highly enough!

Such a fun experience cooking with Chef John! I took the Shellfish class and learned so much. I had never done a cooking class before so I was a bit apprehensive, but now I’m planning to take more. The class was also BYOB! Great to do solo, with friends, or with a partner.

My partner and I really enjoyed the Romantic Dinner for 2! Susan was a great teacher and we really enjoyed the food we made. We even made the same dessert the next day at home because we were so excited by it, and will definitely be cooking the full dinner at home soon. Would definitely recommend this experience!

The vegetarian boot camp was terrific! Chef Susan was great at keeping everyone involved in the prep and cooking of each dish. Took away a number of recipes and new skills.

My partner and I did the Southeast Asian Flavors class with Susan and had such a great experience. All of the food was delicious. Not exaggerating when I say we agreed it was the best Pad Thai we’ve ever had. Susan was so knowledgeable, fun and kind! You learn knife skills in addition to how to make 4-5 dishes.

Al at Home Cooking New York is an amazing instructor! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and has a natural talent for teaching. Al creates a welcoming environment where no question feels too small—he’s happy to answer everything and makes even the most complex techniques feel approachable. His smart, clear explanations and practical tips made the experience both fun and informative. If you’re looking to learn from someone who truly knows their stuff and can share it in a way that’s easy to understand, Al is your guy. Highly recommend!

Learned a lot, had fun, and enjoyed delicious food!

My wife and I attended Thai Food cooking class at HCNY on Jan 25, 2024. The group was small, just 6 people, so we got almost a private class. Entire class was well planned and organized. Each of us got some hands-on stuff to do, we asked questions, took notes, enjoyed our meal, yet we ran exactly on time.
John provided a lot of information not just on specific dishes we cooked, but also on Thai cuisine fundamentals, ingredients, and main tastes. He also shared some cool cooking tips we found useful though we are not cooking beginners.
We ended up with a plentiful freshly made Thai dinner consisting of Tom Yum soup with Shrimp, Fried Fish in Tamarind sauce, Thai Red Curry Chicken, and sticky rice. All the dishes came out delicious and tasted like in a Thai restaurant! And most important we've successfully reproduced these dishes at home one week later!

Thank you John, and The HCNY Crew for the great experience!

We highly recommend Home Cooking NY to all who likes and learns to cook!
