Journey Culinary and chef Deborah Dupuis hosted a private cooking class for my family group of 6. They readily helped arrange a menu alternative to meet a dietary restriction for one of our group. Chef Deborah was friendly and informative as we moved through meal preparation. The Italian meal we created was delicious! The space was intimate and we very much enjoyed the activity together as a family. We plan to go back and we recommend Journey Culinary to others.

We just experienced a very genuine, fun, inspiring evening with Jay on cooking Spanish Tapas. Jay is an amazing cook and we learned some great recipes that ranged from very simple to more culturally complex combinations that all culminated in a variety of tapas that were an exquisite interpretation of delectable Spanish cuisines. Thank you Jay for a memorable evening for our family!
