    This was a wonderful gift from my daughter for my birthday. We spent the evening preparing healthy Thanksgiving side dishes and I was amazed that healthy also meant super tasty and fun! We made gluten free corn bread muffins, quinoa stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasted Brussels with lemon aioli and creamy cauliflower mash - all really delicious. Our chef was amazing - friendly, informative and made everyone feel welcome. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully done. We will be back again - thank you!

    Spoke to Arthur (owner) ahead of my 10 year old birthday party … he said “you don’t need to bring anything, we’ve got this!”…. And they sure did! He was amazing in running the party - there was not a moment where kids were wondering what to do! The instructions on how to make pasta were clear, the fun playing while they were cooking was increíble! The food was delish, the girls had a blast! The waffle towers were delicious! Highly recommend The Real Food Academy!!! My 10 year old and her 14 friends are still talking about it!!!! Thank you so much for such a special and effortless celebration for mom! You guys are the best!

    We were blown away with our experience at the Real Food Academy. We hosted 25 kids from Fort Lauderdale and every parent was in awe. The kids were nonstop involved and excited for over two hours. The time flew by. Arthur and his team are incredible. Everyone commented how creative, interactive and educational our party was. We love teaching our son the lesson of experiences and sharing food among friends and family, Lessons they will have forever! The prices are are extremely reasonable and the team went above and beyond to make us feel special. The kids all want to keep cooking at home today! i will be booking another event (probably for adults) in the near future! I absolutely recommend to book your next event with them. Thank You!!!

    I booked today’s class for the first time for my 11 year old daughter, at first she was reluctant to go but by the end of the class she did not want to leave. She had an amazing time! They made stuffed pasta shells, Caesar salad and ginger bread cookies. The owners are amazing super attentive, hospitable and genuine. It is not easy to find a place where you can come together with people you don’t even know and connect so naturally. Chef Maria and Arthur share a passion for the kitchen and bringing people together. While the kids are cooking, parents are able to watch from the loft and can take pictures. You can also enjoy their cafe (which by the way serves AMAZING FOOD) and meet people who are there for the same reason. It’s an organized environment which makes it possible for the kids to engage and be receptive to the cooking instructions. We will definitely be back!!!!! Thank you Maria and Arthur!

    I would highly recommend the adult cooking class. I took my sister as a birthday gift. We had a fantastic time. The class is a mix of practical and hands-on learning. Maria, the head chef, does an amazing job leading the class and making it fun for both beginners and more advanced chefs. Plus the food was incredibly delicious.

    Awesome Sushi Class This was an amazing experience! Very hands on, and Maria our chef was extremely knowledgeable. She taught the class tips and tricks on how to prepare our Sushi the right way, and these gems can also be helpful for any dish. I definitely want to come back!

    Always an amazing experience cooking with Chef Maria and Chef Arthur! Adult Peruvian cuisine class was a total hit, just as the kids class I took my daughter to in April. Highly recommend for all family members!

    Unforgettable! This was the first bday party my twins have ever had. I can't tell you how amazing it was. The staff was courteous, professional and beyond committed to the party. I spent the entire time living in the moment with my boys and having fun. They took care of everything. Even the guests expressed how amazing this party was. I can't thank Chef Maria and Chef Mattheus enough!!!

    I’ve done several of these classes and every single one is so much fun, educational and full of healthy, delicious food. It’s very difficult to find cooking classes that accommodate vegan and healthy eating. I am so happy to have found this place!

    I just went today for the first time to a class and I totally loved it!!!! I made it to a girls night, apart from having a blast we learned hot to make from the pita bread from scratch to how to cut the seabass! The teacher was excellent, answering all our questions and explaining well how to make each dish, giving us her secrets and it was very helpful!!!! I totally loved it and looking forward to come back to the next class! Very friendly staff and delicious food

    I took a pasta class and it was amazing. Learning not only the process but the way to pick the ingredients. I think I’m going to make my own pasta at least once a week from now on.

    Fantastic experience ! My son had a great time at the summer camp. He came home everyday excited to recap all the yummy and fun food he made. He also started to learn basic knife skills. Now he volunteers to cut some simple foods and wants to help me make his breakfast. As a parent, I loved that he was introduced to learning more about food and the importance of healthy eating. Overall a fantastic experience.

    My daughter had such a great experience at the Real Food Academy’s Saturday kids session. The moment we stepped in Maria welcomed us with the biggest smile. I watched the entire session from upstairs and I loved it from the beginning till the end. My daughter is looking forward to attending their week long summer camp next week. :)

    I bought tickets to a pasta making class for my partner as a Christmas present. We both had such a great time during this class. The food was also amazing! We will definitely be back and have encouraged our family members to come with us.

    Amazing 7th Birthday The party was excellent from beginning to end. Everyone had an amazing time. The level of organization was regimented, yet not restrictive. The kids were active participants throughout. The age range of boys and girls was 4-13. Price was well worth it, and we had added a second entree and an additional hour. We even had platters of food for the adults. Not one element of the party was not first rate.
