“This was such a wonderful birthday party experience for my daughter and her friends! The group of 8 year olds had an amazing time, really enjoyed the actual work of cooking and preparing their own food, and eating the delicious food when it was done! The music was fun, the chef was so patient and caring, and the whole experience couldn't have been better for everyone! Really appreciated the little details too, like the aprons and hats for the kids (which they got to decorate), the ice bowls and cups for water, and the cake tray and cutting. Would highly recommend to friends.”

Thank you so much to your team for being able to organize the whole process, especially when there are a lot of kids, it's very challenging! The parents were able to socialize and get to know each other, drink wine, and help themselves to snacks.

Not one element of the party was not first rate.”

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. 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 again!! xo”

Chef Arthur is great with the children and did an amazing job teaching the children how to make garlic rolls, pasta from scratch and how to decorate cupcakes. The children were following all the instructions and had a great time preparing their food. The kids got to eat the food they prepared. We also got a few adult food platters, all the food Chef Maria prepared was delicious! Chef Maria set up the main table for us and gave us everything we needed for the party (ice, drink buckets, cups, napkins, etc). The staff were also great and even packed all leftovers for us. 100% recommended!”

I'm now a forever customer. Thank you for your hospitality, and professionalism.”

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 debating on what to do during these pandemic times so that our daughter may have a nice experience on her birthday. We made an excellent choice with The Real Food Academy. From planning through the actual event, everything was properly thought out, hosted and executed. Art and Maria were welcoming and patient as we set out to socially distance 19 guests per family unit. I couldn't ask for a more memorable experience for my daughter's 9th birthday. The adults had just as much fun as the kids! From start to finish, it was actually her favorite birthday to date! Thanks RFA Team!”

“The kids had a great time, the parents were free to do as they wished, and everyone was thrilled to have been part of this great experience. Thank you! The one thing i noticed, which was minor, was at times the kids were paying attention, but the adults were loud and would at time drown out the speaker some. Sound could be improved, not for the music but for the instructions and guidance. That is all! Thanks again!”

“We celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday with 41 of her 5 year-old friends AND 67 adults. I was hesitant at first with 41 5 year old, yet the children were engaged since the minute they arrived. They had activity after activity planned and they never left the table while they created their custom pizzas and decorated their cupcakes. The adults got to sit back, enjoy themselves and watch all the fun happen. Our favorite part of the party was the passing of the microphone where every child shares a birthday wish for the birthday girl. It was sweet to hear the children's honesty, their love and their inclusion for all their friends. Amazing service from Chef Maria and Arthur.”

“Dear Chef Maria: Since Natalija had her 8th birthday party with you I have non stop been spreading the word! Natalija and her friends had a blast. Most of all, they actually enjoyed the final products. The pizza on a stick was a hit. You surprised me at the end when you had the "cooking trivia" and the girls won little pink spatulas and pink whisks! That was a wonderful added touch. We look forward to seeing you at your cooking classes in the near future! Thank you!”

They were super excited to make Fettucine Alfredo and then to eat their own cooking :-) We, adults and kids both, had a great time at the party and we are so glad we came to the Real Food Academy. The addition of Zumba was a great choice. The Zumba instructor, Wendy, was super high energy and she was just great with the kids! The Zumba helped us end our party on a very high note!!! and the kids and parents just had this great release of euphoric energy to end the party in a fantastic way! Honestly, it was the best party yet and all of our guests seemed to also enjoy it! We'll be back for Summer Camp -- with friends! --”

“My little boy had a fantastic cooking party at the Real Food Academy! All of his guests had a tun of fun cooking and eating, and we got so much positive feedback from his guests and their parents, who really appreciated the experience. Chef Maria and Chef Cindy were so kind and helpful. They accommodated his little sister's food allergy so well that none of the pint-sized guests even realized they were eating something gluten-free (pizza on a stick). It was also cool to watch kids who normally don't like vegetables eating their veggie sushi rolls because they'd made them themselves! The goodie-bags were wonderful, too. Sammy LOVED his party. :D”
“Dear Chef Maria, I just wanted to thank you and your staff for an amazing birthday party for Juliet. The word, “best” kept coming up to describe everyone’s experience that day - Juliet said the pasta and garlic bread she made with you was the “best” she’s ever eaten. And, I was getting text messages from moms telling me how their daughters said it was the “best” birthday party they’ve ever attended. All 15 girls looked so adorable in their hats and aprons, and it was wonderful how each one of them participated in the hands-on experience of making homemade pasta and garlic bread from scratch. Now they appreciate how hard we moms work in the kitchen! And the cupcake decorating portion really brought out their creative juices. The party ran so smoothly without a hitch from beginning to end, making my job a breeze so I was able to enjoy Juliet’s special day with her. So, again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Juliet’s 9th birthday such a memorable one!”
“Hi Ms. Maria, I wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for making Gianna’s birthday so perfect and special. All the kids enjoyed themselves from beginning to end. The pictures came out beautiful with everyone in their chef hats and aprons. They loved making the pizza and the fruit skewers. By the way, the pizza was incredible. The other moms were saying “nothing like homemade pizza”. I loved the way everything was presented and organized. In addition, I thought it was great that you spoke of cleanliness and safety. I asked Gianna what her favorite part and she could not narrow it down to just one thing …she enjoyed it all !!! Thank you once again for making my daughter’s 8th birthday a memorable one.”
