Wonderful Cooking Class with a great guest chef I have taken at least twenty cooking classes at Southern Season Cooking School over the past three years. I have not been disappointed - ever! The three or four course meals the staff and chefs prepare are always so interesting and with the wine parings I feel that it's a wonderful and affordable experience. I have learned many new techniques and tips at the classes. I have been a home cook for over 50 years and have learned, with their help, to think out of the box and try new things. Everyone there is wonderful and I feel very relaxed and welcomed. I'm always looking forward to seeing what guest chefs will be coming each quarter. Keep up the good work!

DOn't try to do too much Although chef was very well informed, he attempted to do too much. Often had to move among recipes and he was clearly under pressure. Don't know if latter made him impolite to volunteers (only the women) but it seemed unnecessary and not humorous

Fantastic Culinary Classes The staff at Southern Season's Cooking School do a phenomenal job presenting their own cooking classes, both demo and hands-on, as well as bringing in talented and personable guest chefs. The most recent I attended was Chef Keith Rhodes from Catch Restaurant in Wilmington and have already re-created 2 of the recipes at home. Highly recommend Southern Season and their cooking classes for everyone who delights in good food! The portions are great and I often take some home. Delicious wine pairings help round out the evening of culinary entertainment.

Fish Cooking School The class was filled with folks learning about cooking some very special recipes from the NC coast. The teacher was a long time chef with stories and special tips on making his recipes. He has owned his restaurant for a long time. Everyone seemed to have a very good time as we ate the really delicious food. I highly recommend Southern Season cooking classes.

Southern Season has gone completely downhill. Used to love Southern Season. Unfortunately they have gone completely downhill since bankruptcy. They no longer honor their gift cards and the one class that I have attended since the acquisition was a total disappointment. Advanced gingerbread house decorating was like a young child's holiday themed party. I can believe I paid $50 for it. First, the woman teaching it was not knowledgeable of the subject. She made frosting so runny, it was a challenge to get candy to even stick to the house. They also didn't have enough candy and suggested we go buy more from the store ourselves. For the price of the class, enough candy should have been provided. Not sure I will ever sign up for another class at SS.
