Feedback From Our Past Guests

“I really appreciate that you guys offer this opportunity for even the little kids.  As a boy, I really want him to be able to cook for himself and his future family and enjoy it.  It’s such an important life skill.  He was so excited about cracking the egg himself 🥹.  We’re incorporating more cooking with him now at home because he was so excited about the skills he learned.  Really looking forward to future classes.  He said he had the best time 🥰. Thank you"

  • We held our daughter’s birthday party at What’s Cooking and it was terrific!! The kids had an AMAZING time and raved about it for days!! Kim is the best! Her ability to teach and engage with the kids makes them feel like they are capable and confident when learning new cooking skills. Highly recommend!!

  • Kim and her staff were absolutely phenomenal for a private adult event that we were a part of last week. My 11 and 15 year old daughters have also been to multiple classes and have enjoyed every single one. This concept was much needed and a great addition to our Lakeland community! I can wait to host my next community learning event for my lighting company next month. Thank you, Kim for such a great Lakeland addition!

  • Had my daughters birthday party here and it was truly an amazing experience. Ms Kim was phenomenal and the kids loved creating all their own cupcakes start to finish al on by their selves. Highly recommend having a birthday party, friends night or taking any classes she offers!

  • We celebrated our daughter's 10th birthday at What's Cooking Lakeland last weekend. There were 12 kids - ages 6 to 12 - and they paired up to compete in a Chopped Championship. The kids absolutely loved it, and the adults had so much fun watching. The owner Kim was very easy to work with and basically handled everything - managed the event, provided drinks and all of the paper products we needed for the cake. She also met with our daughter before the event to talk about what she wanted. My favorite part of this experience was the trust that Kim placed in these girls while they were cooking, she (rightly) believes that even the youngest child has the ability to work in a kitchen. The girls were truly empowered by the freedom they had to explore their creativity, and show off their skills. The girls were amazing and loved eating their finished dishes. We highly recommend Kim and What's Cooking!
