Our classes are more than just learning how to make something; they are a cultural enriching experience, a social experience and a culinary growing experience. We teach principles and techniques not recipes. We have deep respect for food.

If you are in Redlands, CA for any reason you must absolutely visit the Cooking Block cooking school. We had such a fun time with friends we were visiting. They were very excited to take us there as they had attended many of the cooking classes offered before. We had not planned on doing an activity like this on our stay but are very glad that we did.
We participated in a French cooking class that was paired with wines for each course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and an excellent chef. Not only were we treated to excellent food and wine, we actually learned a lot about the regions that they hailed from.
We met the owner of this fine establishment. His name was John and he was very hand's on with the entire night. Probably one of the reasons it was such a great experience. He made us feel very welcome and was genuinely glad that we all came. It was very apparent why this business was so successful. Many of the other guests were return customers and could not say enough about how much fun these events were. This event was sold out.
Thank you to our great friends and to Cooking Block for a most wonderful experience. Cheers and continued success and excellence!

"Wow! Without a doubt the best dining experience I have ever had! The food was beyond belief and the pairings perfect. I love the setting too...comfortable, unpretentious, allowing us to informally mingle and explore. Would definitely do again!"

I had my 46 Birthday at the Cooking Block and it was outstanding!
My wonderful wife Chris set everything up with John and had my best friends join us for a variety of food from salmon, lamb meatballs and some of the best tapas made right there in the kitchen. Many of us were involved in the cooking and it just was a really great time. Thank you John for providing a wonderful time for great food with great friends. We will be back!
