Chef David was great! Fun way to accomplish team building in a virtual work environment.

This was a fun experience to bring our team together virtually. It was interesting to see everyone in their home kitchens. The recipe was straightforward and easy to follow, and gave me a few ideas to tweak a dish my family already enjoys regularly. My one suggestion would be to give a quick explanation at the beginning of the class, showing everyone what view should be used in Zoom to be able to see the chef clearly. As Chef David was talking, the image of his face was the largest on screen, but he was telling us to watch his hands, and that camera was not showing up at all. When I switched to gallery view, I could find his hands, but the image was tiny. Just a suggestion for the future - I could still follow along and enjoyed the experience! Thank you!

Chef David was great! He was really helpful and patient walking us through preparing our mise en place and showed us some very help tips along the way. He did not rush us at all though, with any of these online classes, itâ€™s helpful to ensure you have everything ready to go in advance. The orange chicken was fantastic as was the cilantro rice. Our whole family loved it and we will definitely make it again. Would love to take another class with Chef David!

Chef David was the absolute best! My date and me decided to do a cooking class for our first date, and we couldn't have had a better experience. We got lucky that it was just myself, my date and Chef David so we received a very personalized cooking class with great wine and music. Also, if you are into 90s/00s R&B and hits he totally killed it on his playlist! There were many times we would be talking and stopped to sing and dance to the music. Overall, Chef David was a delight and very helpful to all of our questions about how to do certain things. Left with a great meal, great time and definitely one of the best dates I've ever experienced! Thank you David! We will be taking another one of your classes soon.

Outstanding experience! Chef David and KT are fabulous at what they do and beyond personable and fun! We had a blast cooking with them!!! The Caribbean Asian Fusion cuisine was outstanding! I highly recommend you picking this! The space was perfect for hosting 11 of us for a fun holiday experience! We canâ€™t wait to do it again!

Chef David was a fantastic host for this fun experience! The food was incredible and he was perfectly flexible with the instruction and letting our group interact on our team outing. The facility was very nice and set the perfect atmosphere. I would recommend David to any of my friends for another experience.

Chef David was amazing! I had some special requirements for my team (dietary restrictions & preferences), and I was planning the team event from the West coast, so David's promptness & willingness to work with me was super helpful! when half of my team wound up being sick or having last-minute emergencies he still kept it fun with our smaller group. ALSO, the food was SO good! I'll definitely host another event with Chef David and would recommend him to anyone in NY!

Where to start?! I booked a class with Chef David for my boyfriend's bday. Due to traffic we arrived a whole HOUR late, but luckily we were the only two to have booked that particular class. David was excited and ready to cook regardless of the late start, and made sure we felt welcome and comfortable. My boyfriend and I loved every minute of our experience, and we learned so much! Will definitely visit again soon with family and friends!!!!!

We love, love, love , looove Chef David :-) We had a totally awesome experience with him. This is a long over due gift that I am so glad that I was finally able to follow through on for my husband's birthday. He can be pretty hard to impress and he had a great time as well. The food was absolutely divine with simple ingredients that brought out various flavors. We really enjoyed the simplicity in preparation. He gave us a wonderful time with his warm, witty personality and the way he engaged our small group. The chemistry was pretty good between us. It felt like we were at a small intimate party in our home with a favorite cousin :-) I definitely recommend this class and we look forward to doing other classes that he holds.

David was spectacular! Not only was he a great cook (Iâ€™m still full), but he was a friendly and gracious host. I will certainly keep my eye out for the new menus with the intent to book another session with him. In addition, the facility was cozy and a great setting for the fantastic company of David and the other fellow dinners!
