Had a great time with Chef James! He taught us about paella, and we were able to help. He lived in Spain, and he showed a lot of love and enthusiasm for the cuisine and culture. Would definitely book again!

Booked the class Saffron-Infused Gulf Prawn Risotto with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

I booked this experience with Chef James as a Christmas present from our grandma to her granddaughter. She's 11 and is interested in being chef. Chef James was wonderfully inviting and friendly from the moment we all stepped into his home, and enjoyed some cheese, meats, and anchovy stuffed olives. We then helped to cook the risotto, and enjoyed the fruits of our work :) The risotto was amazing, cooked perfectly and so flavorful! We also loved the dolce cake for dessert - it was a wonderful end to the evening. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

My expectations were met in the manner with which Chef James handled the cooking experience. He was patient and polite with his answers to some of the cooking questions.

Booked the class Rustic Italian Meatball Supper with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

Unlike many other meatballs in the restaurant, the savoury tradition meatball dish that we had with James was authentic and made from very fresh ingredients (only the best) that makes it extremely enjoyable - one that you cannot miss if you havenâ€™t already tried it. It leaves a lasting impression on our stomach and minds; we constantly crave for more. At the end, we had the most tasteful blueberry cheesecake that we thoroughly enjoyed. Beyond the food quality, James is a very down-to-earth person who is knowledgeable in his expertise and is warm, patient and friendly. These attributes contributed to our very fun-filled cooking class. He was also very thoughtful in the dinner set up with the candles and music which made the ambience very pleasant and romantic (you could even think of it as a candlelit dinner in the comfort of your own home) I would love to come back to the cooking class with him when I am back to San Francisco, I think our flight of 15 hours from Singapore is all worth it. Bravo to Chef James! I will highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dinner party or just a private cooking class! He is THE Chef you are looking for. Too good to say good bye ! Love from Singapore .

What a fun, special night with our son and daughter-in-law. Of course the food was excellent. Being a part of making the meal in a San Fransico home made it that much more special. Chef James is entertaining and was happy to answer all of our questions. Highly recommend Chef James, so much better than just going out for a nice meal!!!

Booked the class Neapolitan-Style Pizza with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

We had an awesome time learning to make pizzas with Chef James. He is fun to work with and took good care of us - there was a cheese plate with olives waiting for us on arrival, followed by all the pizzas that we baked (everyone gets to make their own pizzas, and then eat them too :D) and then a yummy dessert in the end. He walked us through the baking and the technical details around the ingredients and the process, as we were making our pizzas - so an informative session. He was open to questions and patiently answered each and every one of them! All in all, will recommend this class to any pizza lover out there! :)
