We had the most wonderful experience with Chef Justin last night. From the moment he arrived, the entire evening felt relaxed, professional, and genuinely special. He guided my husband through the process of making fresh pasta while I happily watched from the sidelines with a glass of prosecco — which honestly made it even more fun.
The food was absolutely delicious, the instruction was clear and engaging, and the whole experience felt like having a private cooking class and restaurant-quality dinner all in one. It turned an ordinary evening at home into something memorable.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique night in, a special date night, or a fun culinary experience. We learned a lot, ate very well, and would absolutely do it again!

Chef Justin was very personable and it was an enjoyable evening for a different experience to just going out for dinner. The reason I gave it four versus five stars is because the dessert wasn’t what was as per the menu. It was still delicious.
We only made one of the courses during the time, which was fine for what the time entailed but this is more for anyone thinking you are making everything.
