I recently had the pleasure of attending the pro-series cooking course led by Chef Manifa and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked into the kitchen, Chef Manifa’s passion for food and dedication to teaching was evident. Her classes were not only highly informative but also immensely enjoyable.

Chef Manifa masterfully blended professionalism with warmth, creating an environment that was both educational and inviting. Her deep knowledge of culinary techniques, combined with her clear and patient teaching style, ensured that everyone in the class (from beginners to seasoned cooks) could follow along and improve their skills.

What truly set this cooking course apart was Chef Manifa’s ability to make complex techniques accessible to everyone. She broke down each step with precision, offering invaluable tips and tricks that only a seasoned expert could provide. Whether it was perfecting a delicate sauce or mastering the art of knife skills, Chef Manifa made each lesson engaging and achievable.

Moreover, Chef Manifa's enthusiasm was infectious. Her storytelling and anecdotes from her culinary journey, and genuine interest in each participant's progress made the class feel personal and enriching. The hands-on approach meant we could immediately apply what we learned, and Chef Manifa was always on hand to offer guidance and encouragement.

The highlight of each class was, of course, the food (lol)!! Under Chef Manifa’s expert instruction, week after week, we created dishes that were not only delicious but beautifully presented. The emphasis on using fresh, high-quality ingredients and understanding the science behind cooking techniques truly elevated the experience.

Chef Manifa delivered an outstanding cooking course that exceeded all my expectations. Her expertise, charisma, and passion for the culinary arts made for an unforgettable experience. I left the course not only with new skills and recipes but with a renewed inspiration for cooking.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Manifa's classes to anyone looking to enhance their culinary repertoire while having an incredible time!!!

Thank you so much, Chef Manifa you are the best!!!

The company that owns this business needs to seek a new GM! Gerard is very UNPROFESSIONAL. He was a NO SHOW for a tour and didn’t bother to connect with us on not coming!! Seek elsewhere!

Our whole family LOVES the Los Angeles Cooking School. The manager Gerard is wonderful to work with and makes magic happen there. The place has such a warm, homey vibe and all of the people who work there are so nice and supportive, especially Chef Mani. The classes they run for kids teach them practical cooking skills and encourage them to be creative. The adult classes are fun and the food we make is delicious. Everything is clean and beautiful!

All the tables wobble, and they're too close together; they need more of a bar area.They also don't provide menus unfortunately. It'd be nice if they had sides, but couldn't read the wall menu around the employees' heads so...

The Coffee shop is never ready when I get there so have yet to try any sandwiches but did go in there for the Blue Nova ice cream parlor I'm the evening! Sooooo good and the kicker is that you get to see how it's made on the tv monitor in the front. This blows Cool Haus out the door. Loved this ice cream place!! I recommend the Matcha Green Tea....Delicious!!!

Staff are so nice, and attentive. The ice cream is fresh, delicious, and very entertaining to watch being made. The ice cream is made from the LA cooking school students and they are definitely a pleasure to be around. Come get your ice cream!

Rented one of the kitchens for an event and I can't say enough good things about the space and the manager Gerard!My team of "novice" chefs learned so much about how to professionally cook and had a great time hearing Gerard's stories of coming up thru the culinary ranks.I would highly recommend this space if you need a commercial kitchen or want to host an event.

Great place to eat very classy amazing food and great service would highly recommend trying this place out. Although they do have a lot of salads they are expertly done and has a real touch of class about it. The staff are all very freindly and an absolute joy to see. Would highly recommend going to this place one of a hand full of places I would travel to eat. The tuna is spectacular and my favourite.
