If you’re looking for a cooking school or a cooking academy in the Los Angeles area, or more specifically: the Pacific Palisades, make sure you stay far away from Chefmakers! This place is run by a bunch of amateurs who are happy to take your money and give you a crappy cooking experience, and forget about trying to get a refund. They apparently can’t afford that. The Chefmakers in Manhattan Beach has already gone out of business, and it probably won’t be long before the entire company folds! Do yourself a favor and take a cooking class from a local community college or something – just make sure you avoid Chefmakers!
