Great experience

This is an experience I won't soon forget. It was wonderful. I have Celiac disease and the kitchen accommodated my gluten free needs beautifully. The kitchen is spotless, well organized, and the timing was perfect. The recipes are delicious and I cannot wait to try them. Well done!

Delicious recipes and friendly chefs

We had a wonderful time at The Local Table cooking class. It was right next to where our ship docked and very easy to find. Emily and Danielle were super friendly and knowledgeable. They made the cooking class fun! We had three different salmon dishes and all three were so delicious! I recommend this cooking class to everyone looking for a unique shore excursion who loves delicious food!

Amazing locally sourced ingredients were the foundation of the class! We had a great time and we highly recommend taking this class! We are going to be sure to visit them nex...read more
