    We did a hands-on cooking evening with a group of foodies and serious home cooks that were traveling together. Wonderful experience! No expertise required, they took excellent care of us in the beautiful space and we prepared and ate a delicious meal. I just can’t praise them highly enough!

    Chef Paolo was amazing! The food was spectacular!

    My daughter really enjoy cooking camp during spring break! She was so sad to leave.. I will definitely be bringing her back in the future. Thank you!
  • Roxana Casanueva

    I recently attended the pizza-making class at The Real Food Academy, and it was an amazing experience! The class was fun, interactive, and perfect for all skill levels. The instructors were knowledgeable and made the process easy to follow, from kneading the dough to choosing fresh ingredients for toppings. The best part was getting to customize my own pizza and then enjoying the delicious results! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great activity for friends, couples, or even solo attendees. I also appreciated the focus on high-quality, wholesome ingredients. Overall, I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves pizza and wants to learn how to make it from scratch. A great way to spend an evening and pick up some new cooking skills!

    I recently celebrated my daughter’s fifth birthday at the real food Academy. Hands-down, having our event with them was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Words do not do this team justice. I had the privilege to have Maya and Rey, who were outstanding the entire time. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed our family. Rey helped us on dock our car and set everything up. Maya and her beautiful smile, from the start, captured our ideas and brought it to life. We had a couple additional kids join us in and even when it was chaotic, Rey found the way to set up extra seating placements for our additional guests. They had such great energy, kept the party going, helped us with every request and more. All of my guests, had an amazing time making pizza and cupcakes. If you are having any second thoughts in having your event with them, don’t even hesitate, just book it. Thank you once again for an unforgettable birthday party!

    I can’t say enough good things about The Real Food Academy. They had our broker group in for a Discovery Day, and it was awesome. I loved the hands on experience, and it was so much fun. Truly a great way to learn, and I love that their focus is on children. It’s so important to teach children at an early age. The Real Food Academy is truly making a difference in their community and hopefully they’ll have franchises in more areas across the US soon.
