I recently took the Beginners Course at Epicurean. I heard about it from a friend who said she took the class several years ago and the recipes she learned are still some of her favorites. The class was great. The instructor was informative, helpful and upbeat. The working environment was perfect. I looked forward to the class every week and look forward to taking more classes there with friends.

Pros: talented staff/instructors

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I just finished the Professional Baking I program with Suzanne Griswold. She was fantastic. I researched a few other baking programs in Los Angeles and decided on Epicurean because of it layout and its Wolf ovens. I learned so much and can't wait to continue on with Baking II and Baking III. I just signed up for Cake Decorating too.

Pros: great working space

I have taken a few classes at Epicurean, I consider myself a fairly good cook but Epicurean taught me how much I don't know. The class moves really fast with a lot of hands on action while the instructor provides you with tips, background on the dish your making, and even encourages you to take the fundamental basics so you can add your own twists to the dish. Its also a great social event. Everyone seemed to want to help each other and at the end of the class there is sort of a communal tasting of everyones dish. One of the best ways to spend a Saturday in L.A.

Pros: A lot of great instruction in a short period of time

Cons: none

I just wanted to stop by and write about the great time I had in the knife skills workshop. It's amazing how much time I saved myself after learning the correct way to slice and dice. I use the skills I picked up over and over. Thanks again!

Pros: so many classes to choose from, so little time. staff is friendly, classes are FUN!

I've taken cooking classes where the focus is on having fun and when it's over, you haven't learned anything. Then there's the classes where you're lectured to and you don't even want to eat what you cooked at the end of the class -- you just want to get out of there. At the Epicurean cooking school, the class I took was the perfect balance. I'll totally go back for more! It's also a great deal, especially for Los Angeles.

Pros: Teachers have amazing credentials, good value

Cons: none!
