    I’d Give This 6 Stars If I Could!!!

    MELISSA_B, Mar 2026
    This was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had not only in the Tampa area...but anywhere...worldwide!!! Calling it a cooking class doesn’t quite capture what it is. It feels more like spending the evening with great hosts (who felt like preferred family by the end of the night) where you happen to learn a bit about cooking along the way. Eric and Nancy are fantastic. They made both me and my sister feel comfortable immediately, and the whole night is relaxed, funny, and interactive. The food was excellent, but their company and the atmosphere they created really made the evening special. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back with other friends, partners, and anyone else who'd delight in an exceptional night out If you're anywhere near Tampa, I would absolutely recommend this. I’d give it six stars if that were an option.

    Homey and kind

    Meeting Eric and Nancy was one of the highlights of our time in Tampa. They were warm, welcoming and THE best hosts! They shared stories of their travels, Eric's love of cooking, Nancy's lot of art and their shared love of meeting new people! By the time we left, we felt like old friends! The food Eric prepared was spectacular! THE best garlic bread we've ever eaten, creamy risotto with butternut squash topped with delectable scallops. To end the night, he served the tastiest key lime pie! We both woke up the next morning wishing we had more! HIGHLY recommend this experience! You will not be disappointed and will have friends for life!! Thank you Eric and Nancy for making our time together so memorable!

    Wonderful Experience
