    Brilliant evening whether you're an accomplished home cook or not
    A brilliant evening. Excellent chef tuition, clear and well paced. Great clean, organised environment and a chilled atmosphere was created. The food we produced was yummy, will certainly be making again at home.
    We are thrilled you enjoyed your cookery class experience with us, hope you have enjoyed making the dishes again at home, Chef loves to share his knowledge and chef tips. Hope to see you again soon Helen

    Birthday Gift - Fantastic Experience and Learned New Skills!
    This experience was bought for me as a birthday present and it was an absolutely wonderful time. Everyone was so friendly and great craic, I have taken so much from this experience and am really excited to try and make my own Pho (we did the Vietnamese cooking class). If you are struggling to think of a birthday present, or you are looking to learn new culinary skills, I could not rate Food Sorcery highly enough!
    Thanks for taking the time to write a review, I'll pass you comments onto Chef Chorchaba, she will be thrilled you enjoyed the cookery class with her.

    Best night!
    I booked the Korean cooking together class for my boyfriends birthday present. It exceeded our expectations! The chef kev was amazing, he created such a warm and friendly environment. He checked on us constantly and his sidekick grace made sure we had enough drinks. We had the most amazing night, thanks to chef kev and his incredible menu. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone thinking of booking. Thank u food sorcery for such a wonderful evening!
    Chef Kev loves to share his cookery skills and tips with guests at the cookery school, he'll be thrilled with your comment and I'll let the staff know you enjoyed it so much. Hope to see you again soon Helen

    Fantastic Food Experience
    Went fo Foodsorcery at Didsbury, booked by my daughter for a family Christmas Gift. Not sure what to expect, but the evening (Saturday) was brilliant. For some reason we were the only 4 booked in for the Italian night, but it meant we probably had more attention from the excellent Chef (Jan Cron). Excellent tuition and the food (Tortellini starter and Sea Bass with Risotto main course) turned out very good. Cannot recommend this experience highly enough and i am sure we will return for more!!!
    Thanks for taking the time to review your cooking together experience at the cookery school, we are thrilled you enjoyed you class. It sounds like you came at a quiet time of year so got lot's of chef time. Hope to see you again soon. Helen

    Amazing pasta class
    What an experience! Salvatore, Max and the rest of the team were brilliant. We learnt a lot, even for an amateur cook like myself! Salvatore kept everyone engaged in the class and was always assisting with advise. I would highly recommend the pasta masterclass and would do it again! Thanks Chef
    Chef Salvatore is such a great teacher and loves to share his knowledge of Italian cookery and pasta making. I'll lt him know how much you enjoyed his pasta masterclass, he will be really chuffed. Hope to see you at the cookery school again soon.

    Excellent coffee making class
    I’ve always loved coffee but known little about it, so went for their 3 hour home barista class. Couldn’t have been better. The instructor Gav was really down to earth and clearly loves his subject.
    Barista Gavin loves to share his extensive knowledge of coffee, he will be thrilled you enjoyed the home barista class, I'll let him know how much you enjoyed it.

    Fantastic
    I bought this class for my daughter's birthday, she wants to be a chef, and we had such a lovely day. Everything was laid out and explained clearly, our chef Claire was brilliant. Best off we all got to sit down together after we had finished, eat our dishes and chat. A fantastic experience, I would highly recommend.
    We are really pleased you enjoyed the family cooking experience at Food Sorcery, Claire is a great chef and loves to pass on her knowledge of cooking. Hope to see you at the cookery school again soon.

    Amazing food, staff, venue and experience.
    Amazing night at Food Sorcery! My friend and I went to a Korean cookery class and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and accommodating of our dietary requirements. The food we cooked was amazing and they share the recipes so you can try at home. Will definitely be returning!
    Thanks for taking the time to write a review, it really helps others know what to expect. I'll pass you comments onto chef and the team, they will be really pleased. Hope to see you at the cookery school again soon.

I took my niece along for a Knife Skills class as she would like to take up cooking as a career when she leaves college.

The welcome was warm, the other people on the course were friendly, the chef on the evening was informative - explaining everything without being patronising - and both my niece came away feeling that we had learned something substantive, and had fun into the bargain.

Will definitely look to attend one of their other courses in the future.

A brilliant and tasty event with Food Sorcery at Deansgate Square. The team made the booking process really easy and worked out a format that suited our high numbers and specific requirements. The team on the night were very attentive and knowledgeable, managing the event seamlessly whilst creating a fun and friendly atmosphere. Participants clearly enjoyed the experience, many had little or no cooking experience and they were all delighted to leave the event with their delicious creations. We would book again and are already thinking about the next event with Food Sorcery.

Writing on behalf of my Mother in Law:

We arrived to the door of the venue to find it locked, after trying to gain the attention of the staff we were blatantly ignored until another customer pointed out to the staff. The lady who spoke to us (who was absolutely lovely, and the issue was nothing to do with her) told us that that the restaurant had been double booked and that we should’ve been contacted earlier today to let us know - but this wasn’t the case. We were simply turned away despite having booked months in advance and paid upfront - no apology from management, no compensation, not even an offer to sit at the bar and have a drink, the door was literally closed and the lady who came to speak to us came out to the doorstep, weren’t even invited inside.

This was booked for my birthday with a close friend and the night was absolutely ruined due to poor management and communication. We will be waiting on a response…

We have contacted your mother in law directly about the genuine human error mistake, whilst upset by the mix up she let us know that she appreciated the way we had responded to her.

Such a great experience.. I booked the Cooking Together- Thai Experience for my Mum’s Christmas present and she absolutely loved it.
The staff and chef were all so helpful and knowledgeable, which just made you feel really relaxed. We even got to take some of our leftovers home.
I’d definitely recommend this experience to friends and family.
