Don’t miss this Aruba experience - I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to cook an authentic and delicious Caribbean dinner. What I enjoyed most was the conversation. Many blessings to the host and her son for allowing me to laugh, learn and enjoy in the comfort of their home.

Great time - Will not go wrong. Hospitality like no other. You will feel welcome from the moment you meet her. She has a lovely home and you learn some of the most delicious Carribean recipes. You get great music, great conversation, great food. I'm honestly sad that our time had to come to an end, but extremely grateful for the experience. Worthy of every Cent.

Everlasting experience! - Chef Kari was a true delight, she welcomed us into her home with so much love. The welcome drink was delicious. I love learning to cook different cuisines so this was exciting and fun to do. Chef Kari explain in great detail the ingredients and history of her culture. It was a great hands on experience for all. She also, was very interested in getting to know each of her guest. I enjoyed sitting around the dinner table enjoying the meal we prepared. The laughter and friendships made around the table will forever live in my heart.

Love the experience! - What an experience! My first time in Aruba and wanting to do things out of the norm for me. And this cooking class with Kari was a chefs kiss. She welcomed all her guest with such warmness. Kari explained in great detail of the dishes, ingredients and teaching new techniques in preparing dishes (there were a few new beginner cookers in the class, so this really helped!) The family setting was a great feeling because we walked in as strangers and walked out as friends. Kari seemed to design this experience to meeting new people all the while having a great time. I highly recommend taking the class, you will not regret it! I’ll definitely be back!

Chef Pinckney - The company was outstanding, the food was magnificent, and the chef professional and down to Earth. In a short time, we made a meal and sat at the table like Family. Will definitely do it again and again.

Pumpkin Surprise - The food was very good. The experience was nice. My only reservation would be not to have a sick child in house. That was the only turn off. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to season and cook Caribbean food

Very bad - It was my 25th wedding anniversary and I'll try to surprise my wife with a dinner. We got there early at right before 6:00 we had to wait 25 minutes for the other couples to show up and they was rude very nasty and then everything from there was bad the lady really never changed her gloves they just kept going back and forth by time we actually sat down the E it was almost nine 9:00 she stopped doing what she was doing to feed her son it was just a real bad experience and if I had a way out of there I would have left. Was not what I was expecting I was expecting more of a personal not really one-on-one but a really big atmosphere for a group kitchen was really small I thought we was going to be cooking like some real like Caribbean and when I noticed that we was cooking out a pressure cooker I was like done with this and this is really what's not what I was thinking and not worth my money at all.
