Punctual, fresh ingredients, great cooking instructor, sociable and entertaining, fantastic meal, AND he does a good job cleaning up! What more could you ask for?! Chef Leviâ€™s Authentic French Cooking Class was awesome. 10/10 would recommend. Weâ€™ll definitely be signing up again!

Chef Levi provided a custom experience of learning through demonstration and hands-on as he worked to prepare a wonderful meal of French cuisine. It was both relaxing, fun and informative, and so delicious! I highly recommend this private chef experience!

We had a great evening with Chef Levi and enjoyed a wonderful French cuisine! The choice we had over how "hands on" we wanted to be during the lesson was much appreciated and we were both instructed and entertained. Chef Levi is very personable and an outstanding chef! The meal was delicious and it's nice to feel like it's something we could successfully prepare on our own with familiar ingredients. I would recommend Chef Levi to anyone looking for a fun cooking lesson and a great meal!

Thank you Chef Levi for a wonderful evening cooking your French menu. We learned a lot and it was great that we did it in our own kitchen with our existing equipment. Looking forward to trying this meal on our own another time. It was fun getting to know you and your story.

Chef Levi was a great teacher and a great chef! He demonstrated the techniques for preparing the items on the menu in a very easy to understand way and gave us some very helpful tips. He let us do as much of the preparation as we felt comfortable doing. He was very easy to talk to and we had some great conversations. The food was great and we look forward to trying the preparation on our own.

We recently booked the Rustic Greek Feast experience with chef Levi. The food was great, and the experience was fun, however there are a couple of items that Iâ€™d like to point out for Leviâ€™s consideration, and for future clients. There were alterations made to the menu that we were surprised, and disappointed by. The â€œHard cheese, such as Kefalotyriâ€™ was substituted with smoked gouda and marble cheddar cheese, which was disappointing. The cheeses were to be flambÃ©ed in brandy, but he forgot the brandy, so we needed to provide that, and the â€˜medley of roasted vegetablesâ€™ turned out to be only roasted carrots. A suggestion for future events would be to give the clients a list of the items they need to provide, such as cutting boards, knives, barbeque, etc.
