“My mom and I took this pastry making class for her birthday and had the best time! We made three different desserts, and everything tasted amazing. The class was intimate, with only about seven other people, which made the experience feel personal and gave us the opportunity to learn so much. It was such a fun activity to do together, and we would absolutely recommend it!”

“Such a fantastic experience! We were lucky enough to find Life Plus while looking online for a cooking school appropriate for our teenage son. The 3 hr format allows for so much depth - hands-on cooking from scratch, basic and advanced techniques and skills, and they eat as a group. I was worried 3 hrs would be too long but Marc and his staff are so engaging, it's perfect. Just signed up for another session!”

“Sara was our Thai cooking class instructor, and she was lovely, thoughtful and a very good teacher. She accommodated any preferences, allergies, etc. She carefully explained each ingredient and its impact on the dish. It's obvious that Sara really cared about what we learned and wanted us to enjoy the experience. We ate in the dining area after each dish, and when we returned the kitchen had been reset and prepped for the next dish. The kitchen is clean, neat and the location felt very secure (it was an evening class). It was a delicious meal and a lot of fun. I look forward to cooking the dishes and taking another class there.”

“I had a such a great time in the sushi making class! Marc is an amazing teacher and is with you every step of the way. I felt confident that I could actually go it alone and continue building my skills. I also really enjoyed meeting and connecting with new people. Will definitely be returning for more classes.”

“Tastes of Thailand cooking class was excellent. The best cooking class I’ve ever attended. Reasons: excellent instructors who taught cooking techniques, seasoning, how to elevate flavors/spices/heat. We each had our own cooking vessels. We cooked 3 Thai dishes, and were provided with a nice dessert made by the instructor. Completely hands on class with time for questions. Class size of 6 which allowed instructors to see how each of us were doing. Bonus- we each sat at a dining table to eat each dish as they were completed. A nice learning and social time experience with instructors who were knowledgeable and enjoyed teaching. Rating: 10+ out of 10.”

“Our teacher was wonderful! He was knowledgeable and patient. He made sure to include all students and gave us enough time to complete all of the task while explaining everything in detail clearly. He made the class fun while teaching a beginners level yet allowing us to end up with a meal that was lovely and enjoyable. The pace was perfect and our teacher/host was delightful. I can’t wait to take another ClassBento course.”

“We had an amazing time at this class. I brought my dad for his 60th birthday and we were both blown away by the thoughtfulness and tastiness of the entire experience. We especially enjoyed that we were able to eat the meals as we made them. Do NOT come full -- you will be wishing you had more room in your stomach to eat everything! The teacher was incredible! Would definitely recommend for any occasion.”

“I had an amazing experience at Life Plus Pasta Making! The instructor was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He shared how he developed these classes, and it was clear that his own curiosity and love of learning inspired the entire experience. He was incredibly patient with everyone, while still guiding us in a way that made sure we actually learned the techniques instead of just following directions. By the end of the class, we had made a meal that was absolutely delicious. It was hard to believe that something so good came from our own hands! I will 100% be taking another class. They offer such a wide variety of classes for different interests that I have a feeling I'll be coming back for quite a while. If you're thinking about trying one, don't hesitate—you'll leave with new skills, great food, and a memorable experience.”

“It was a great class. The teacher was personable and knowledgeable. He was patient with us, but helped us learn. We left with a working knowledge of the pastas we made and the recipes we cooked. And the food was delicious! I can’t believe we were the ones who made. We have a full meal that we enjoyed with each other. I will 100% take another class with through ClassBento and Life+”

“My colleagues and I had an incredible time at Life Plus LA! Marc led our team of 8 through the baking course. We spent 1.5 hours learning, socializing, laughing and enjoying our way through creating biscuits, fruit tarts and bundt cakes. Marc was so incredibly knowledgable, witty, and a pleasure to be around. After the baking was complete, Marc set us up in the cafe to enjoy our creations. We spent another 1.5 hours there. Finally, we packaged our leftovers and went on our way! I can't wait to try some of the other classes!”

“My husband and I booked a Thai cooking class with Marc for date night and it was such a treat. The 5 star reviews are well deserved. We loved how thorough and knowledgeable Marc was about cooking and the food science. He makes sure to teach you not just how but also why, you’re doin something. Not to mention the food tasted amazing and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. Do not hesitate to book! 10/10 recommend :)”

“Such a good time! Our class was the Vietnamese course and it was very well crafted and structured. We enjoyed learning how to handle spring rolls, flavor and plate pho, and make a delicious hearty crepe. My goal was to learn some techniques and I walked out with some new ones!”

“Our two kids have really enjoyed Chef Marc and team's cooking classes at Life Plus. They look forward to each session and come home excited to share what they have learned. Life Plus has helped build their confidence in the kitchen and encouraged a greater interest in cooking at home. Marc and team do a great job connecting with the kids, making the classes engaging and approachable. His patience and encouragement made a positive impression and we all appreciate the experience this class has provided. We would highly recommend it to other families!”

“My daughter had an amazing time at the cooking camp at Life Plus Los Angeles! She looked forward to going every day and came home excited to tell us about everything she learned. She loved making all kinds of different foods, trying new recipes, and, of course, getting to enjoy everything she made! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. They made her feel comfortable from day one, as if she had been part of the Life Plus Los Angeles family forever. It was such a positive, fun, and encouraging environment, and she can’t wait to come back. I highly recommend this camp to any family looking for a fun and engaging experience for their child!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Life Plus Schools! Marc was instrumental in helping bring my daughter's Wicked-themed birthday party to life, and it met all of our expectations! From the very beginning, Marc guided me through every step of the planning process with exceptional attention to detail, professionalism, and care. His communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. He made what could have been a stressful planning experience feel seamless and enjoyable. The party itself was pure magic! Marc created the perfect playlist that had the children singing along while baking, and every detail reflected the theme beautifully. Watching my daughter's face light up throughout the celebration was priceless. He truly helped make her dreams come true. The entire Life Plus Schools team was fantastic. Every staff member was warm, engaging, and wonderful with the children. Their energy, patience, and ability to connect with the kids created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a unique, memorable, and professionally executed birthday experience, I cannot recommend Life Plus Schools enough. Thank you, Marc, for creating such a special day for our family. We can't wait to come back!”
