I participated in the French cooking class and found it to be very unorganized and chaotic. Direction was given all at once then you were expected to return to your station and remember what was said, two groups forgot to add key ingredients to their dishes during the prep. There was a lot of food, too much actually as the class went on far too long. The food was very French and dishes I would not make at home except for the souffle, which I have made many times. The souffle we made last night was an embarrassment to the dish, very faintly tasted of chocolate and ended up being a dried lump. There were 4 of us and we all agreed that we did not enjoy this class.

My wife came down with Covid the morning of our pierogi making class, so we couldn't attend. They forfeited our purchase with no chance to book again. We had been holding on to the voucher for 3 years because they canceled our class twice during the lock downs. When my wife rebooked this time she had to cough up another $60 because of inflation, just to get Covid again and miss it. There goes $300. Don't book unless you know you won't be sick a week in advance! They won't accommodate you

Amazing Kid's Cooking Camp!I have been to amazing cooking classes at the Cookbook Co and found out they had a kids camp! So I signed my daughter up. It was fabulous and she loved it!In any other camp you have pack snacks and a lunch and with this camp, the kids brought food home! haha!Highly recommend! They made a lot of different food and even had some outdoor activities each day. This is a camp I would have totally loved to go to!

Calgary is so fortunate to have Cookbook Company! What a wonderful resource. Go for the locally made frozen meals, stay for the cool classes, go back for the “yum box” or the weekend meals to pick up!

The cooking classes here are a group cooking experience, even though they were advertised as "a couple's night out."I took my girlfriend for her birthday, expecting it to be a hands on, couple's experience. We ended up being in a group with 3 other people, who took over most of the cooking. We didn't get to do much, and we were confused many times as to where things were, and what was the next step.It's not a very hands on, intimate cooking class. The food was good and the instructor was very friendly, but it isn't what we were expecting from the descriptions.I wouldn't go again or recommend it.

We had an excellent time at the couples cooking class here. The meal we made was fantastic, and it’s something me and my partner have made again since, because it’s so easy to make and delicious.The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it felt a little unorganized and chaotic, which is something we’ve read in the other reviews as well. The chef and the helpers are all very helpful and friendly, but our one advice to make it better would be to make it more clear how it’s best to divy up the work. It was very confusing to know who should do what and what part of the meal we should start with, and how to time it with others.Other then that, great place, and we brought home some yummy treats from their store.

Would not recommend purchasing a gift card for anyone here. Father purchased a two part course for me here and despite being a considerable time away they would not refund him his money.

This is a very nice store. My daughter is doing cooking classes in the basement and is having a wonderful time. She is also developing an appreciation of food and the efforts it takes to make it. I highly recommend the training for children. Excellent staff.

Disappointed. The vegetarian class was disorganized and chaotic. This is partly to blame because of the space the class took place in: not at all adequate for the job. The advertised 'head chef' from Community, a lovely woman btw, was in fact the produce manager of Community. No knock on her abilities but the Cookbook Co. should advertise their events correctly. Cancelled an upcoming class because of the experience in the vegetarian one.

Had a really great time here at the Christmas Baking Class. Learnt some new techniques and made lots of delicious goodies! They also have us wine along the way too! It's pricy but well worth it for a really fun time.There's a cute store upstairs as well full of baking goods and cooking stuff.

My husband and I spent yesterday evening learning how to make stuffed pasta. We had a wonderful time! Melissa the instructor was great, and our pasta and drinks were delicious. It was so much fun and good value. We'll definitely come back and try another.

We had our Corporate Retreat, and as one of the teambuilding events we had our final dinner here. The food was outstanding, and the wine pairings did not disappoint! The wine service was always prompt, and your glass was never empty. We highly recommend the sommelier offering to any event you have here. Our Chef Matthew was absolutely incredible - hands down the best instructor in town. He was so funny, quick to assist, and was easily able to captivate a large crowd of 20 people. He made an excellent accommodation for difficult dietary restrictions, and ensured our whole group had taken the precautions needed for our gluten sensitive attendees to eat. Our team loved him, and raved for days after about him.The space was wonderful, and the setting was lovely and intimate which is exactly what we wanted for our retreat theme. I couldn't rave more about an experience, this group is incredibly professional, efficient, warm, and welcoming. We'd give them more stars if we could, and would absolutely recommend to any other company looking for a unique corporate experience to team build.Well done, thanks again!

Ching Li is such an excellent instructor. I have had her before and was so glad she was the host of this class. I enjoyed the new style of cooking where you make all meals. Great experience I will definitely be back to cookbook co. I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for classes where Ching Li is the instructor.
