This was the second self up cooking class that my family has done for the holidays and I was very impressed with our chefs ability to adjust to my allergies! I have a soy, nut and shellfish allergy so I was hesitant when my brother suggested the dumpling class for our parents present this year. I called before booking and they said they could handle the allergy. There was a bit of a miscommunication and the chef was not told before the class, but he was absolutely amazing! He went through the recipes with me and made a separate batch of pork dumplings that I could eat and was very careful to avoid cross contamination. He kept everything that I was allergic to separate and even making sure to change his gloves before touching the outsides of the dumplings while they were cooking. I unfortunately don’t remember the chefs name, but wanted to pass along my gratitude for his extraordinary flexibility!!!
We had a blast, the staff were incredible. Lot's of fun and the food was delicious. It was great to learn some cooking techniques I can use at home. We'll be back Chef Rudy - you've been warned! LOL
From start to finish the entire Selfup team was amazing to work with. The event itself was amazing! We did a team building Italian cooking class with my group of 40 and I was so impressed with how they got everyone to interact and participate! Everyone was raving about it!
Had the best time with Chef Rudy and his team! I did the Italian Pasta class with my boyfriend for his birthday and it was the perfect night! Chef Rudy is hilarious and a great teacher. His team was helpful and even walked around offering to take photos/videos. We left the class full and with a few new cooking skills we could easily do at home.
We had an amazing time spending our Friday evening at Self Up for the Asian cooking class. The atmosphere with so great with fun cooking tips, laid back teaching, wine, and good laughs.
