I love to cook and my husband got this as a Christmas gift for me. It was a gift of two classes. I love to cook and would say that I'm a pretty experienced cook overall. This class was so much fun and we really enjoyed ourselves. Our instructor was great and was a great teacher! I enjoyed the small setting that this class offers; it makes it more personable. The food is mostly cooked but us (the students if you will) and each step is explained throughout the process.
During my first class, I felt like this cooking class had a perfect balance of fancy, but chill, and orderly but fun! The instructor was very informative and engaging with all of us (14 people total). We attended the Christmas feast and cooked butternut squash soup, Cornish hen with amazing sides, and pumpkin pot de crème. I highly recommend the cookery for an amazing night out in Fort Worth! If Forth Worth is too far for you, they also have a Dallas location.
During the second class, there were 13 of us total in the class with groups of four sharing a station and the last two on a station alone. Plenty of sharing of tasks all evening. I have been to quite a few cooking classes and shiel this was the most shared participation one (as apposed to each couple doing the same thing at the same time), we still all learned lots. The instructor was comical, animated and engaging and really kept things moving.

Overall, this is a really great class for people of all cooking levels. According to the management, most of the classes are couples having afun night out - just something to kind of keep in mind when booking. This might not always be the case, but it would probably be better to do it with someone you know to make it more fun:)
Judging from both classes, this two-class experience was fantastic - a 10/10. I wasn't sure what to expect since I have never made pasta from scratch or been to a cooking class. I decided to give it a try at The Cookery because their online reviews were much better their competitors (and more consistent reviews, too), even though just a touch pricier. But, you get what you pay for. My best friend's boyfriend and mom went here for a class as well and they loved it. I received a text - "This is so much fun!"
During my experience, we were all around a big island with different types of ingredients in front of us. There were two open hand wash stations so everyone could see others washing their hands, making it more comfortable knowing other people would be helping make your food. The group was great, and the instructor Kelsey was amazing. So personable, friendly, informative, and fun. She wasn't micromanaging or making it stressful, but also made sure you didn't mess up.

Everyone wore aprons, and (as I mentioned above) they made a point to ensure that we kept our hands clean throughout the meal preparation. We ate at the table for the first and second course, and stayed at the front counter to eat our dessert.
It was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it!
