Untamed Chef

We loved this experience (indian cuisine cooking class). Chef Mary was an excellent host and very entertaining. We also appreciated sous chef Emily as she was helpful and very nice. The place was set up with all our ingredients before we arrived. Snacks and drinks were available (alcohol fur purchase). Our only recommendations would be to have some tasting spoons. We probably would have used some of the extra serranos in the vegetable curry. Thank you and we hope to be able to do this again.

My husband, parents and I came together for a double date dessert night and had the best time!We started out by enjoying a potato soup with rosemary and delicious accompaniments to add on our own, a bright salad with berries and homemade balsamic dressing, and some fresh honeydew melon. It was perfectly filling before an evening of preparing our desserts, and there was plenty for everyone.Our class of ten soon split into two groups after a short intro/demo on the first few steps of making the recipes. We were each given a booklet with the steps to make the desserts, some of which were completed for us (such as putting items in the oven or cooler). As a group, we moved through multiple recipes simultaneously based on a posted guide to the order of operations. Of course, Mary walked around and made herself available for any questions or guidance. I liked how the class was more free-flowing and not overly structured - while still staying on schedule.We made the following desserts: Chocolate Espresso Mousse, Classic Pastry Cream, Traditional Napoleon, Lemon Blueberry Phyllo Soufra, Peanut Butter Mousse Pie, and Nutella MalasadasAfter the obligatory tasting at the end, we all got to take home a pizza box worth of leftovers to enjoy later! My favorite was the peanut butter mousse pie, but everything was wonderful and it was super satisfying that we got to prepare almost all of it ourselves.Mary and her assistant were knowledgeable, personable, and made for a very professional cooking experience.These classes are the perfect way to enjoy time with loved ones, explore a passion or curiosity for a "treat yourself" night, or just to get out of your comfort zone with an activity you probably haven't done before.My husband and I will definitely be keeping an eye on upcoming classes to come back and learn more as soon as possible!

What an amazing time we had at our date night. We started off with a charcuterie appetizer and a Prosecco. We then had a demonstration on how to prepare all the foods. We made she crab soup, apple and mushroom stuffed pork tenderloin, grouper with homemade pasta, and an almond pear galette. Everything was amazing and delicious. Five out of five would come back again.

Fun, fun, fun. I learned so much. The staff is great. Food was delicious. I would do this once a week if I could.

What a *flavorful* evening we had cooking and dining with the incredible Chef Mary and her fantastic crew! My husband and I had been long overdue for a night out, so I decided to surprise him with a cooking class at The Untamed Chef. With so many classes to choose from (they fill up fast, so don't wait if you have your eye on a particular one!), I opted for the Tex-Mex class because I've always wanted to master the art of making Birria Tacos.Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and directed to grab a menu and find our table. The venue offered complimentary water and tea, with a selection of alcoholic beverages available for purchase. We opted for the refreshing water and tea to keep us hydrated and focused on our culinary adventure.Once everyone had arrived, including our double-date couple, we were organized into groups of four. If you didn't come with a full group, no worries! Chef Mary and her team will seamlessly paired you with other duos, creating a lively atmosphere for the 20 participants. While the five cooking stations felt a bit cozy, it only added to the fun of the experience!Chef Mary kicked things off by explaining our menu and the order of operations, and then we dove right into preparing our meals. Each group shared the delicious bounty, and trust me, there was plenty to go around--everyone was able to leave with a doggy bag! Chef Mary and her staff were simply amazing, circulating to offer guidance while allowing us the freedom to explore our cooking skills. A few steps were prepped ahead of time, like the marinated Birria meat (which takes 6-8 hours, so wise move there!), making the process smooth and enjoyable. The recipes were straightforward, and our group worked like a well-oiled machine to create a delightful feast.When the cooking wrapped up, we set our tables and sat down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Chef Mary and her team took care of everything else, even providing to-go boxes for any leftovers. Chef Mary's personable nature kept us entertained throughout the class, while her staff was quick and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly.If I could suggest small tweak, it would be for Chef Mary to ask attendees to stay at their stations during demonstrations. A few times, it became a bit crowded around her table, which was a minor distraction. Also, my husband mentioned he'd appreciate a chair next time due to his past injuries--definitely something to consider for future classes for those with disabilities! Lastly, I'd love to see a weekly or monthly homeschool class for kids, just like her wonderful summer programs.Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing, and we can't wait to return! Maybe next time it'll be a girls' night or even a solo visit. Honestly, these classes are worth every penny--even coming from someone who typically avoids the kitchen!

We went for the date night cooking class and had a lot of fun! The food was delicious and Mary and her colleague were extremely nice and helpful throughout all portions. After you make your food they plate it up for you and serve it! Would love to do other classes in the future. I recommend it for anyone looking for something different, fun, and delicious!

My husband and I loved the French cooking class with Mary and The Untamed Chef. Our food was delicious, and the recipes were easy to master. I enjoyed that Mary took the time to talk to us and help us through the dinner, and it was fun to work with another couple. We made a delicious meal!

We had an unforgettable dining experience at Untamed Chef. Every course was a masterpiece, perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. From start to finish, it was a 10 out of 10, and we'll definitely be back again!

I enrolled in a date night class as a Christmas gift for my husband. it was a Bourbon class. We had no idea what to expect. It was extremely enjoyable! The food and bourbon were both very high quality. Along with 6 other couples, we prepped and cooked our delicious three course meal. Upon arrival, we were seated with a choice of bourbon drinks and a wonderful charcuterie-like appetizer. Then we gathered around to hear the head chef (Mary) walk us through all the steps to create a wonderful clam starter, surf and turf with potatoes and a vegetable and a delicious dessert. My husband and I totally enjoyed working together as a team to prep and xook. We learned a ton, left stuffed and happy and will be back!!

Went to Untamed Chef for the first time. The menu included: small cheese and cracker appetizer with Prosecco to drink. Then we went to cook butternut squash bisque, beef wellington, salmon wellington, roasted garlic duchess potatoes, hari convert bundle(green beans), and flourless chocolate cake. We also received a bottle of wine and a beautiful flower setting from our table. We were provided a recipe book for everything, all food items and equipment. This was a couples class. Some of the individual items were prepared earlier that take a little longer. We cooked everything from there. Chef Mary was friendly and helpful. Sous chef Emily was nice also. They washed all the dishes and cleaned up after. Only cons were recipe book was not exactly as described by Mary. Chocolate cake was not on the same level as other items. Dinner was expensive but very educational and delicious. Highly recommended.
