“Great idea for Bachelorette Party!”

Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

I attended a Bachelorette party for my sister-in-law at Harvard Cookin' Girl in May. I'm from NYC and I have never experienced a cooking class quite like this! The atmosphere was perfect for our small group to honor the bride. It was intimate and very comfortable. It felt like we were sitting in a family kitchen with our favorite aunt... More

Our group loved the menu, the atmosphere and the energy from Harvard Cookin' Girl! Whether you want to go with your partner, friends, or clients, this is a great activity to do together! More

We started off with... More

“Beyond Well Done”

We saddled up to Bibi's cooking counter--watched, learned, ate, drank, laughed, shared--the entire evening was beyond well done. Thank you Bibi for such a terrific time. I've... More
