Thai Feast class. (We were a couple doing a Thurs PM class). Loved it! Such an intelligent, charming and well travelled chef. Restaurant quality result that can work perfectly at home, in one frying pan. Super class, veg prep, knife skills, food prep tips so much beyond the recipe, great advice about ingredients and some good pointers for quality utensils.

Our company invited Chef Mateus to our office for a small cooking class and had the best time! Despite the limitations of our space, Mateus and his wife came prepared with the right equipment and put on a beautiful, engaging, fun class. The dishes we prepared were delicious, yet simple enough for beginners. More experienced cooks left with new tricks from Mateus whoвЂ™s spent years in world renowned kitchens! Our space was left cleaner than it was found. The dishwashing did not go unnoticed! Thanks so much again!

We had the pleasure of taking the French Seafood cooking class with Chef Mateus. We absolutely loved it and have been telling all our friends about it. Chef Mateus did an amazing job at walking us through the cooking instructions and providing many helpful cooking tips. He also went through and provided some very interesting facts related to cooking. On top of that, he was super friendly and we got lost in conversation throughout the night. We intend on doing another class with Chef Mateus soon and we highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in a night of cooking.

My boyfriend and I booked Chef Mateus' Thai Cooking Class for Valentines Day, and it was the perfect event for that occasion! He was very attentive in picking recipes and ingredients that, while unique and representative of the cuisine, are easily accessible to the average kitchen. He additionally gave us each tips while we were following along with his instruction that we will actually use in our day to day cooking. We both had a great time with Chef Mateus and would 100% recommend his classes!

I brought my spouse to Chef Mateus's kitchen as a birthday surprise gift. The experience exceeded our expectations! Not only did we get tons of valuable knowledge about Thai cuisine and tips&tricks for achieving a mouth-watering flavor, but we also had lots of fun and got to take the remainings of our dinner home - that's how much food we cooked together. It was incredible, and we're planning to come back. Chef Mateus taught us so much about cuts and spices, I already feel like a better cook. Thank you very much.
