Cooking with Eric was a unique experience. It was a one of kind evening with good food and a lot of laughter.

This was a truly personal adventure from the Market to table cooking with an experienced home chef. Great conversation and I learned a few cooking tips.

Fantastic! Really enjoyed the professionalism of the chef. It was delicious and also educational. Would definitely recommend this event.

On a snowy December afternoon, we enjoyed a fascinating Roman inspired light lunch with Andrew and his partner. Andrew’s background in classics brought ancient cuisine to life, with dishes inspired by Roman era texts like Apicius. The moretum, a garlicky herb and cheese spread, was bold and flavorful, while the roasted leeks wrapped in cabbage were a standout, comforting and subtly sweet. Savillum and dates with walnuts and honey provided a simple yet satisfying finish, alongside a tangy posca drink. Beyond the delicious food, the history and conversation made the experience truly special. Andrew and his partner were warm, engaging hosts, and the meal felt thoughtful, educational, and wonderfully welcoming.

My friend and I had a great time going over the culture, cooking tips and getting to know our hosts Liam and Tom. We ended up staying from 11:30am - 2pm so expect to be there for awhile. Liam and Tom make sure that you and your guest(s) feel comfortable and create a welcoming atmosphere for anyone. Since we are their first clients there wasn’t much of a crowd, however I would say it’s a good space for a couple or 2-4 friends as of this review. Overall it was a great experience and am excited to see how Liam and Tom will expand on their class and will watch it grow into something even greater. Side note: be sure after you email and sign up for the class that you take the opportunity to speak with Liam and get an idea of what to expect, how to dress, etc…

Annie and Steve were fantastic hosts. I took four other friends there and we all had a great time. They were super friendly and we felt at home in their modern yet thoughtfully decorated home. The food was delicious and we bonded over sharing stories from our travels. My favorite was the homemade candied pecans in their salad, although everything was delicious. After dinner Annie showed us around her home, which is filled with mementos from their travels abroad. 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone interested.

Fantastic experience, wonderful hosts! We came across this fantastic activity whilst searching for something a bit different to the ordinary touristy excursions, via British Airways experiences. Don and Nancy were wonderful hosts and made us feel welcome and relaxed. Nancy had contacted us via The Travelling Spoon beforehand to ask if we would prefer a breakfast type snack rather than the charcuterie, as our experience started at 10.30am, which was great, so our day started with coffee, delicious homemade granola bites with fresh fruit and yoghurt and getting to know our hosts. The pizza making itself was excellent, picking up key culinary tips, constructing the pizza, personalising the tomato sauce and the extra ingredients (we went for spinach and sausage) whilst getting to chat about Chicago and travel! We were really pleased with how our pizzas turned out and tasted. After eating pizza with a Chicago skyline view, the experience ended with a delicious homemade lemon curd pie and liqueur. Getting to take home the recipes too was brilliant, so we can now attempt to re-make the pizza, salad and granola. A really enjoyable and unique foodie experience in the heart of Chicago and something that we highly recommend!! Thank you Don and Nancy for such a wonderful day and for teaching us how to make proper pizza!
