What Parents Say [on Google!] about our Groton Location
“Our Girl Scout troop had an amazing time with their cooking class. The staff was very knowledgeable and patient with the girls. The food that they made was so tasty and the girls were so proud! My daughter kept asking when she could go back. We highly recommend!”
– Local Girl Scout Troop Leader
“We did the Asian cuisine summer camp and my son loved it. They brought home samples of their cooking everyday and he loved showing off his work to the family. The kind and patient instructor worked well with a wide range of ages.”
– Camp Parent
“Such a great place (and concept)! I have brought my daughter two times for classes and we have had so much fun. I am always searching for new classes. I truly recommend this place to everyone, whether you are looking to practice your cooking skills and/or learn more or just as a fun activity. It’s like a local Sur La Table but with people who truly care about cooking/baking and teaching.”
