The Bikini Kitchen

This woman never let me redeem my Groupon for a cooking class. She offered a full refund but then conveniently stopped replying to emails 6 months ago. Has no credibility. Filing an official complaint with Groupon to get my money back.
What a disappointment.

I bought a Groupon deal and went through a headache of watching some videos to be able to register for the class and have access their scheduling calendar. After this grueling, time-​consuming process, it turned out that there was no availability for classes in New York, not even in the next 3 months! I contacted «Joyce» about two weeks ago via e-​mail and haven’t heard back since. I think at this point I’ll pass on the class.

This was a huge waste of time and money. It was so bad, I kept thinking that I was on candid camera.
First off, the lady is rude! People asked about fat and calorie content, and she told us to take each ingredient and look up the calories for the amount used and add it all up… thanks real helpful. Seems like the sort of thing you should know if you’re teaching a low fat cooking class. She then hands out the recipes: they were incomplete with missing ingredients and didn’t even put how much you need to use. Then we are served the dishes — bland, and the mango rice definitely did not have any mango in it.
But here’s the kicker — she announces that she forgot to bring the food. Seriously. So she says she is going to tell us how to make it and will email us a video of her cooking this crappy bland food. She’s also got a real thing with Trader Joe’s and most of the ingredients can only be bought there (i.e., a special Trader Joe’s brand of dressing).
Needless to say I walked out and I will be demanding my money back. I feel sorry for the others who wasted this money buying the groupon.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife at the King of Prussia location (Sunday Brunch session). She did not really have a good time. The brunch was extremely simple, nothing really new was learned, and any questions that were asked were responded to very rudely. My wife had questions about fat content and some other things, and she got the questions «thrown back» in her face. Apparently the instructor was pregnant, but that’s no excuse for rudeness and impatience with an honest question. The class was also held in a «make shift kitchen» with burners (not even a real stove) which was very dissappointing. I wouldn’t recommend. spend a little more and go to real cooking class, not a gimmicky, fad-​like diet club with an instructor who loves to talk about herself.

went to the cooking class for my sister’s 30^th birthday. we had an excellent time. learned so much and laughed a great deal. def worth going to!!!

I took this class with Joyce at the studio in NYC and I had a FABULOUS time. Joyce teaches you how to cook an app, entrée (with side), and a dessert. She also will answer any questions you have about cooking regardless if it pertains to this dish she is making or not. I learned a lot of great things from this class and am very much looking forward to going to another in the future!
