Best Cooking Classes Children Amsterdam Near Me

Ellen Keith: We booked a private Vietnamese cooking class with David and loved the experience. It was a nice, intimate vibe. We learned a lot and the food was absolutely delicious, more than we could eat. The recipes were easy to follow and David explained everything very clearly. We had a lot of fun and we'd definitely consider taking another class with David. Highly recommended!

burcu bayrak: We had two cooking workshops here, one for Indonesian food and one for Vietnamese. Both went very well! Food we cooked was quite delicious, but what's more important is we had so much fun. It was a great team building activity. David and his colleagues are super kind, friendly, obviously know a lot about Asian cuisines. They made sure the whole evening was flawless. We will for sure organize more events next year and I recommend to everyone who is willing to try something new, whether for a company / team event or date night or fun time with friends.

Victoria Clark: My department at work did two cooking workshops with David and everyone loved it, even the people who don't really like cooking or didn't have much experience. The lessons moved along at a good pace without being rushed, and David kept things low stress and fun. He was really helpful when anyone had questions, and the food was delicious and plentiful! Highly recommended, will definitely go again!

Mika Chesnutt: My partner and I did an Indonesian cooking workshop and it was one of the best experiences and a memory I will never forget. Upon arriving, David was so welcoming and we met our fellow cooking classmates at the table. Apart from eating the food, we learned so much about Indonesian cuisine and the incredible aromas that come with it. Every dish we made was delicious in its own way and David would walk around and give tips to make sure we were making the recipe correctly. I can't wait to cook an Indonesian meal for my family! We will definitely be back to another class sometime soon and recommend it to those who live in or are visiting Amsterdam.

Ilca Zween: David did an amazing job in educating our American student group on Indonesian culture & cuisine as well as providing the context of the Dutch-Indonesian history. Above all, he made the cooking class fun! We all had an amazing time and ate some fantastic food.

Ewan Mackie: We planned a team outing to take part in an Indonesian cooking class after finding David’s page and we were already enthusiastic before the actual event. The location was incredibly easy to get to, only 6 stops on the tram from Centraal Station and was very cosy indeed. The welcome by David was very warm and after some drinks, we were treated to an explanation about how David came to this concept, what we would be making and guiding us through some of the ingredients (some fresh smelling, some foul - the shrimp paste - but all helpful in making delicious food). The knowledge that David possesses about Indonesian cooking is substantial and how explains this makes what can appear to be a daunting task (so many ingredients) one which can be done with ease, with love and with fun. When you get into your groups (for us, it was 6 groups of 3), you are given your tasks but are you left alone? Absolutely not, because David keeps a good eye on everything - making sure that you are putting the right ingredients together, the right amounts, the cooking times and helping where needed. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, were incredibly impressed by David as a host and his story. And of course, the food was delicious. We left well-fed, more knowing of Indonesian food and delighted that we chose Amsterdam Cooking Workshops for our team event. We’re looking forward to the next one! Great work David, and thank you for hosting us!

Meida W: I got this workshop vouchers as the farewell gift from my previous colleagues. Me and my friend enjoyed the workshop very much. Due to corona rules, we had a "personal" workshop (only me, my friend and David/the chef-coach) at his place. The workshop and instruction was relaxing and easy to be followed in a very friendly and cozy environment. We also learnt some tips and tricks during the workshop. After the cooking, we sat together and ate the dishes. Very delicious !!!. Happy tummy :D. I directly showed the pictures to my ex colleagues and recommended this workshop back to them :)

Anneclaire Koek: We loved the Thai cooking workshop! It was really inspirational and nice to learn about the ingredients. We loved the fresh ingredients and it made us feel like we were in Thailand again. We will definitely come back for the Indonesian cooking workshop! Highly recommend!

Marlene Hinterleitner: The way David hosted this cooking class was really impressive. Everything was very well organized, instructions were super clear and you could learn a lot while enjoying the relaxed and "gezellig" atmosphere. :) In the intro he shared more about his background and how he learned to cook Thai himself, which made it authentic and personal. We really enjoyed the fantastic food and are looking forward to the next cooking class with David. Thanks for the great evening!

Pablo Musumeci: Our team had an amazing time with our teacher Jasmin. She helped us preparing ravioli with ricotta which turned out being much tastier than what I expected! Definitely recommended for companies that want their teams to have some fun and share a truly Italian moment together. Special note for Jasmin who was really energetic and became a big reason for our time being so fantastic!

Chloe Shoobridge: Wow wow wow is all I can say! Attended the Pasta and Gnocchi making course last night, it was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better evening, from the food to the company, it was fantastic! Nicolleta is a wonderful host and took the time to explain everything, moving from table to table making sure we were all okay. I’ve come home with a full belly and a new passion for pasta making!

Stefano Gambarotta: We spent a beautiful evening cooking with our friends and colleagues. Nicoletta & her team were very welcoming...and the food was delicious! I would strongly recommend to anyone who's looking for an interactive and fun dinner :)

Villia de koningh: I highly recommend cooking lessons at this school. Nicoletta gives wonderful inspiring lessons, and all eating together what we cooked was so much fun. I learned so much can't wait for the risotto workshop. An authentic taste of Italy.

Mark Vijftigschild: Great atmosphere, great food and lots to learn. A fantastic way to spend an evening with friends or your team. Highly recommended !

Aubrey Almanza: Such a lovely way to spend the day. Highly recommend as a gift or date. Made some great new culinary skills and will be back for another workshop soon!

Francesco Cavaliere: The best place in Amsterdam to learn how to cook and eat "real" Italian food from a really nice italian girl, highly recommended to Locals and visitors.

Jill: La Dolce Vita! This cooking workshop has it all, it is a complete Italian experience. I enjoyed creating together, eating together and drinking together. And Nicoletta, a real Italian who is very authentic and sincere, a wonderful person!

Mirthe Stoop: While the food was tasty and good, I didn't find the hostess to be very friendly and empathetic. She is strict on several occasions when you make a mistake (we're here to learn, aren't we?) and doesn't wish you well in the event of illness. Also, talk a lot about yourself. Background: I wanted to reschedule the cooking course because one of us had possible corona complaints. Nicoletta's email asks about complaints; this implies that it offers a solution / thinks along / has a corona policy. However, this is not the case, I had to arrange someone to replace myself. I was treated to a story about how annoying it is for her, including the cost (in detail). However, I couldn't count on understanding or even getting better from our side. A bit harsh because I only want to resist for good reasons; we don't want to infect people of course. In the end I went to the cooking course with a replacement, where I did not feel comfortable (partly because of her strict remarks to the students). We had a good meal and the other students were very friendly.

Karin Posthuma: We had a fantastic evening that is definitely worth repeating! The menu was exactly what we wanted to learn how to cook, the chefs were real pros, it was fun and the dinner was delicious! Highly recommended.

Nick Dijkhof: We followed the cooking workshop with our company and were all very enthusiastic. The staff was very friendly and competent, the dishes were diverse and very tasty! Location was great too! Highly recommended!!

Marcel Molendijk: Nice, cozy and delicious. After some start-up communication and planning problems with 10 people cooked and eaten. Bauke is a great support and the cooking space is not too big. Recommended!

Alexander Snoek: Never seen such big fish on a bbq. And then also completely perfect. Eaten exceptionally well.

Maxim Oei: Nice cooks and nice workshop, difficult organization to work with

Nadine Mathot: We had a fantastic team outing at Esther's Cookery and highly recommend it! We chose the Ottolenghi Style menu and asked for it to be completely vegan. The food was delicious!! Esther is very nice, enthusiastic, and helpful (also in English)! Our team is made up of 12 people from all over the world, and as Esther said, "food connects," which was certainly the case on this team outing. Esther, thank you again for a wonderful evening!

Amna Elabbas: I had a work team event at Esther's cookery and it was absolutely amazing! We loved the experience and the time spent with Esther and in her kitchen. The food was truly delicious and we learnt new recipes to cook at home too.

Génesis Vera: We had such an amazing dinner . Good experience cooking while you’re learning. We met very nice people ! All ingredients are very high quality. Esther is a wonderful professional. We loved that night . Thank you !

Hasse Hansen: A great evening with Esther. If you like to cook, but want to try something new, this could be it for you. Esther has everything ready for a spicy, lovely and tasty evening. Highly recommend for small friend group!

Alexandra Dawe: Esther helped us to organise a family party - she was fantastic from the organisation, to the decoration to of course the wonderful food. She was so supportive that it made the occasion even more special. Her food is delicious and our friends and family are still talking about it!

Arno van Lumig: I did a cooking workshop with Esther a week ago, and had a great time. Esther is a great teacher, very approachable, and she makes sure everyone is included. Highly recommended!

Nicole Oldacre-Algio: What an absolute treat! Esther's energy alone make the experience wonderful! The cooking, the food, the tastes, the smells....foodie heaven! A must try!

Laura Cramer: 100% can recommend: everybody loves Esther, the recipes are easy to make for everyone, and absolutely delicious. This was our second time cooking with Esther and for sure not the last time!

Maciej: Absolutely lovely experience, throughout the class I learnt how to prepare vegetables in a way I would have never thought of myself. These ways gave them up such a different flavors I have never thought they might have. Learning to cook with such a passionate person like Esther is a pure pleasure. Worth every penny, 10/10 I recommend this place

Rodric Vos: Good food and nice people. Catering is excellent and kids love to get cooking lessons. Make an appointment first.

laura geuze: We had a fantastic afternoon and evening with our family at Miranda's! In advance we were given a wide choice of various dishes to make. She taught us to make fresh pasta. The kids (9&15 yrs) loved it! The workshop space is at home in a very cute village on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Miranda has everything you need. She also gave us a nice tour in her vegetable garden. Very nice to do with your family or, for example, with a small team.

Naomi Horsman: Miranda gave a cooking party to group 7 and 8 children of the Kentalis Signis school in Amsterdam. This as a farewell party for the group of 8 children. What a feast it was from preparing, cooking to eating the made dishes. All children have enjoyed immensely, and of course the supervisors. To be repeated!

Roel Appels: Best ever. super fun
