My partner and I had an amazing time with Maricel and other guests during our session. We had the opportunity to be hands on during the cooking process, hear fun stories about Maricela’s cooking journey and receive helpful tips along the way to help when making the recipes at home. Would 100% recommend!
I attended a work event here yesterday, and I am already looking forward to my next visit! Chef Maricel was an absolute delight, ensuring that everyone in the class received personalized attention. She and her team created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone, and I can't wait to sign up for more classes in the future!
Did a private class with Maricel. My family did the empanada class. We all had a wonderful time. Very relaxed atmosphere everyone was very personable. Thank you!
The best place ! Can’t thank enough chef Maricel and her team for an extraordinary experience we had for my Daughter’s 8th Birthday . We had a pasta making class and kids enjoyed making their own pasta from scratch . Food for adults was mind blowing as well . I would highly recommend this place . Very clean and beautiful Kitchen ! Kids can’t stop talking about the great experience they had . Once gain , Thank you for all the work you guys did with 8/9 years old to make their entry to cooking world !!
Marcel's Kitchen gets an A+ from me! The Korean BBQ cooking class was well-organized, and the atmosphere was fun, relaxed, friendly, and welcoming. The dishes we cooked were delicious, and you receive both the shopping list and recipes within days of your class. An added bonus is that Marcel's warmth and charisma make you feel as if you've known her forever. I highly recommend this class for a fun date, a celebration with family and friends, a team-building event, or simply to expand your cooking skills and explore new cuisines.Millie
I recently took the empanada cooking class and had a great time learning different ways to make them. Soo much fun and the empanadas were delicious! Definitely give this place a try.
Chef Maricel gave a GREAT cooking class to our team over zoom. The team found it really easy to follow and everyone really enjoyed the class. It was a great team building activity and a lot of fun! Chef Maricel had different camera angles so everyone could easily follow and see what to do. Highly recommend her programs!!
This class was intimate and fun. Maricel and her staff made me feel comfortable in the kitchen and excited to make and eat something new. The food was delicious. All the recipes we used were shared; we were walked through each step by step with love and care. It was the best cooking class experience. And the location was clean, convenient and beautifully decorated.
So much fun and informative! Maricel , Paul & staff are absolutely delightful. The food is beyond delicious! We attended the Filipino class and considering my Filipino heritage, I can't wait to make the recipes for my family. Thank you Maricel! We are looking forward to attending another class!
Had the best experience with Maricel in her kitchen learning Japanese soul food AND Korean hotpot! She is charismatic, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that she makes the night fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend and look forward to my next class!
I am so grateful for the evening I spent cooking and laughing with Maricel in her beautifully appointed space. She is an expert in amazing flavors, teaching a fun class and making her students feel welcome. This is a one-of-a-kind experience of making and eating delicious food!
I took the Japanese Ramen and Gyoza class and it was so much fun! I learned so many tips and tricks that I would've never thought about and while I'm not a frequent cook, the way things were simplified and made accessible definitely has encouraged me to try the gyoza recipe at home. I will be attending more classes in the future.
This was my first cooking class and I absolutely loved it! Maricel is so kind and knowledgeable, her passion for cooking really comes through. We did Thai 101 and are already trying to decide which class to do next. Highly recommend!
Had a great time learning and cooking with my fiance. Everything was easy to understand, fun, and tasted delicious! I felt like there was a lot of value and I didn't have to go into the city for a fun cooking experience. We expect to be back and look forward to cooking here again!
