Well Done Cooking Class - Baking 101

If you're in Houston and haven't been to a cooking class lately, you're missing out. I love to bake and eat... notice I didn't say anything about cooking. LOL. And one of the best way to do that is to take classes and learn from the best.

I first found out about Well Done was from a Groupon. They were the first cooking school that offered Gluten Free Baking. As you can imagine, it's not easy to find GF classes. So, having that option was super nice.

Their beginning was very humble, it was out of Celeste, one of the owners' apartment. Literally,you can see that she had pushed away her couch and coffee table to do the class. She was at the time able to fit 10 students at a time. Now it's grown to 15 people per class. It is still at her home, but now she's moved out to the Heights instead of a little apartment.

With her partner, Kat, the dynamic duo are the best teachers to have for any classes. Whether you're a complete novice or an experience cook, the two were able to give you tips that you can learn from some top chefs in town. Not to mention they have great sense of humor and have the yummiest recipes to offer.


As I said, I have taken classes with them before. They do get very creative with the classes and recipes featured. After baking for a bit, I finally decided that I should go do a Baking 101 just to learn what I've missed and maybe avoid making the same mistakes going forward.

The class was jammed packed with receipes. We made blueberry muffins, lemon cake and Grand Marnier sauce, pear cake, 2 layered cake and icing, 3 types of cookies. I swear I was in a sugar coma halfway through. But it was so much fun to do that you just want to stick around. On top of that, we got food to take home... super yummy!

That said, they also does a great job with savory classes. They have healthy cooking, sushi, Carriebean style of cuisine featured. I know the girls are going to be in Europe latter part of March to learn more aboard. But, you should definitely check them out when you get a chance.
