This is an immersive...

This is an immersive hands on experience laced with fascinating historical details. The experience was casual, fun and perfectly structured. It is fun as a solo and perfect for a group. The recipes were easy and straightforward and delicious. One of my favorite traveling experiences.

One of your favorite traveling experiences is a high bar and we are so glad the Hands-on Cooking Class in Charleston cleared it! There is something special about solo travelers finding their way into that kitchen. The history behind these recipes gives everyone plenty to talk about, and the food does the rest. Thank you for spending that time with us, Diane!

That kind of energy in the kitchen is what makes the Hands-on Cooking Class in Charleston so much fun. When everyone is engaged, and with the instructors genuinely invested in each guest, the whole room comes alive. So glad you had a great time, Teri, and we would love to have you back!

Exceptional family time events

I came from out of state to visit my daughter in South Carolina and my aunt came up from Florida also to visit the both of us and we all embark on this cooking class, which was amazing experience to just have fun in a small group setting and create something delicious to snack on.

Three generations, two states, and one cooking class in Charleston. That is a special afternoon! The Hands-on Cooking Class is exactly the kind of experience that gives families something to do together that goes a little deeper than sightseeing. So glad it delivered for all three of you, Dwaine!

Authentic low country cooking experience

This is an absolute must do while on Charleston! The hands on cooking and secret southern tips combined with the rich culture and heritage of this city is the best of all worlds! My two girlfriends and I thought this was a top highlight and would book again in a heartbeat, not a single disappointment at all, it was truly amazing and very tasty!

Three friends, a hands-on cooking class, and zero disappointments. That is a perfect afternoon in Charleston! The techniques and traditions that come through in Lowcountry cooking carry centuries of culture with them, and getting to experience that firsthand is something people carry home long after the recipes fade. We would love to have you all back in that kitchen. Thank you, Kelly!
