My girlfriend and I learned how to prepare sushi and we absolutely loved it. Chef Damon gave us instructions on how to prepare it but also gave us room to experiment. The ingredients and the food were amazing and Damon did an excellent job. 100% recommended.

The Italian meal Chef Damon taught was delicious, so much fun and easy to follow. There was 7 of us in the class and 4 stations to work, each with is own course, so you got to pick the station that you were interested in learning about or tackling. Highly recommend this class.

Chef Damon was amazing! He was very personable and cooked a delicious birthday meal. The food was top-notch and so was Chef Damon. Would recommend his services to everyone. He plated the meal so nicely. It was like going to a high end restaurant at home. He cleaned up everything and made it super smooth

My husband and I attended our very first cooking class, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Chef Damon was the most amazing hostâ€”warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the class fun, engaging, and easy to follow. The group we shared the evening with was wonderful, which made the experience even better. We laughed, learned, and connected with some great people while preparing a beautiful four-course Italian meal. Though my husband and I arenâ€™t new to the kitchen, this menu and experience were new to usâ€”and we canâ€™t wait to recreate these dishes at home. Every course was absolutely top tierâ€”from the fresh and flavorful Tomato Bruschetta, to the rich and savory Chicken Marsala, the perfectly creamy Risotto, and the decadent Tiramisu to finish. Every bite tasted like something from a fine dining restaurant! We left not only full and happy but also inspired and excited to try these recipes at home. If youâ€™re considering a cooking class, donâ€™t hesitateâ€”this is the one to take! Thank you, Chef Damon and Danni, for such a memorable evening! Weâ€™ll be back soon!

Chef Damon was knowledgeable and patience with us novice chefs. When you walked in he had the kitchen prepped with all the ingredients and ready for us. The class was very hands on and so much fun learning little tricks while cooking. The food was phenomenal. We made everything from scratch learning all the basic techniques that I can use in the future for sure. I would highly recommend Chef Damon over and over again for this experience and I can't wait to take another class of his.
