A gastronomically wonderful experience!
To start, Daniel (our superb chef and instructor), was an excellent correspondent and attentive by email when booking this class from the States. When we arrived the class, he was immediately warm and welcoming with a kind smile, offering us alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverage’s from the region. The table was set with china and candle sticks in a beautifully decorated dining room/kitchen area while music filled the air. The kitchen island displayed the ingredients we’d be using along with the recipes for us in English. We never once felt rushed by Daniel and we loved getting to know about him, his background, his family, all the while learning to cook! He engaged in deep conversation with us as we asked many questions about free health care and heavy taxation in Austria. Having the opportunity to embrace the culture by cooking classic Viennese cuisine - then get to enjoy eating it while wine flowed, made the evening a phenomenal experience. Thank you, Daniel!!
At Andante: an invitation to get personal with your food, with excellent company.
Andante, as a space, is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of culture through food, and it shows as soon as you walk through the door. Daniel, as a host, is conscious and warm, combining the knowledge won across his interesting life with a sincere appreciation for the lives and stories of others, which he opens the floor for in conversation and cuisine alike. For any seasoned traveller or true lover of food, this will be a poignant and meaningful experience and an excellent way to meet the culture of a new city.
A supremely fabulous evening!
From the moment we were greeted at the door to our last bite of dessert, Daniel and his team made us feel like family. Our quintessential Austrian meal was not only a joy to create, but supremely delicious! Our evening was magical! Andante is an experience not to be missed!
A Perfect Cooking Class
What a fantastic experience! I would recommend this cooking class to ANYONE! Daniel treated us like family and we had the most incredible night. The food was fantastic, the lessons on ingredients, technique and everything related to making and cooking the dishes were wonderful. The pace was perfect, the atmosphere is enchanting and the kitchen is perfectly appointed. The perfect way to start our family Christmas vacation in Vienna. A+
Excellent in every way!
What an evening! Felt as though I’d been welcomed into the home of a friend to share a fun and informative experience cooking, sharing food and conversation and learning about Vienna. From our initial greeting through wine and cooking semolina dumplings, Weiner Schnitzel, potato salad and finally a wholly local dessert specialty which roughly translates as shredded pancakes (and I won’t start to butcher the actual spelling but it is one of the more delicious things I’ve eaten in a long time), it was a totally enjoyable evening. The entire evening was terrific from start to finish! Wholeheartedly recommend!
Cooking class with heart
An evening cooking at Andante is one of the best ways to experience the Viennese food and culture and to spend time in a cozy, warm environment while getting to know the true secrets of Austrian cuisine! As someone who often plans, operates and enjoys these experiences in several different cities and countries in Europe, I want to say that it was certainly the most enjoyable (and professional at the same time) cooking class I have ever done! Kudos to Daniel for being a wonderful host, a passionate chef and a true professional!
