My husband and I had a great time! Chef Lisa was fun and informative. The end result was a good meal and new recipes to take home!

Our leader was informative and kind.my mother and I came for a class on our vacation! We learned new things about cooking with fresh produce and techniques. We always have a good laugh at each other! There was enough people in the class we still felt safe.

This is a fabulous cooking school. All the meals that we have made here are very good. We like to get a group of friends together and take a class. Only thing I would say that needs improvement is that one of the teachers doesn't always have lots of food for seconds. So sometimes I do not leave the class full. It is such a contrast to one of the teachers Jan Di'Atri who has way too much food (which I love). I feel that if you are paying that amount of money for a cooking class they should have enough food so that you leave full.

Attended a gourmet couples cooking class. The chef was personable and made it really fun. Although you only make one item, it was a nice evening. The food was delicious and the store had some unique items.

Great cooking classes with Linda. She has so much knowledge and I have learned so much. I have taken many classes from making tamales to fish, from sauces to bread and pasta and ice cream.

I came to Sweet Basil for a cooking class with Chef Lisa Brisch and it was AMAZING!!! Chef Lisa walks you through each recipe and shows techniques, tools, and tips to make the dish. Then, we're off! We each picked a dish to make and Chef Lisa and her assistant helped us each step of the way. Within minutes the aromas filled the air making your stomach growl knowing the deliciousness that awaits! At the end we got to enjoy every dish that we made as a group. I love the hands on aspect and the ability to learn some new techniques. Plus most of the kitchen tools were available right there in the store. It was very fun and absolutely delicious! I would HIGHLY recommend a class with Chef Lisa! You won't be disappointed! In fact, you'll feel like an Iron Chef yourself! Look out Bobby Flay! 😁

My husband and I did the Gourmet Couples cooking class and had such a wonderful experience. Linda was our instructor and she’s an absolute delight. She’s helpful and super knowledgeable. (& really funny!) We’ll definitely be doing it again soon!

My husband and I attended a couples cooking class. The store and kitchen were excellent and I would highly recommend visiting both. My opinion is that the recipes were good. The sides were a little heavy on the carbs. I do not believe the chef did a good job of adjusting the cooking times for the quantities being prepared. The tenderloin was undercooked and the custard dessert never set up. The chef was personable and gave some very detailed tips to all of us.

I have been to Sweet Basil numerous times, bringing my daughter from our of town and friends. The classes never disappoint, are festive in mood with unlimited iced tea and an offer for 10 pct off of most merchandise in the store the day of the class. The instructors are patient, entertaining and inspiring. I always want to go home and be a cooking diva! Everyone gets to participate, converse, ask questions and otherwise relax and enjoy the great pleasures of culinary arts from around the works and within different seasons. I have lived all over the world and one reason I am glad to be back in Scottsdale is to be able to sign up for more classes at Sweet Basil! I even had a bridal shower here for one of my daughter's friends and it was the best time ever!

I don't eat in my car unless it's in this area's parking lot with a school. So here I eat a great made burger and yammy fries. 🙂 ✌☝ & NY

I recently took a 6-Week course that offered classes every Monday. For only 300 dollars, the price was much better compared to other cooking schools. Many reviews say that they gave them a recipe and that they learned nothing, but they’re looking past the experience. Yes, you cook a recipe, but you also learn many tactics along the way, which people don’t acknowledge. In all, this place gave me a fun activity and helped me greatly with an introduction to cooking.

Had the best time at our cooking class with Chef Amy Barnes! Learned a lot, loved the recipes we made and can’t wait to come back... to shop and take another class with Amy!

I will never recommend or use this company for any reason! Their policies are for their gain.
