Chef Iain was truly wonderful and the dishes we created were delightful. Initially, I was hesitant about the stuffed chicken dish since I'm not a fan of cordon bleu, but Chef Iain's version was a game-changer. It was lighter, perfectly cooked, and definitely something I will be cooking again.
The class wasn't just about the delicious soup, chicken, and crepes; the real highlight was learning from Chef Iain. Chef Iain's mastery in cooking and depth of culinary knowledge were apparent throughout the class, and he was happy to educate throughout. His extensive repertoire of proper cooking techniques will significantly improve my cooking skills. He taught us details which can enhance any dish. For example, he explained how different ingredients affect seasoning levels – like using less salt when adding ham and cheese to the chicken (my dish) as opposed to a veggie-focused chicken that needed more salt (my classmate’s).
What impressed me the most was Chef Iain's ability to cater to varying skill levels. As a beginner cook, I found the class immensely informative and engaging. My classmate, who is intermediate/advanced, also learned a lot. Both of us are eager to take more classes with Chef Iain, and I recommend you do the same.

Chef Iain was absolutely incredible! Throughout the whole process, Chef Iain was very welcoming, he educated us on new cooking techniques, and held up a great banter. My boyfriend and I had a great time cooking and enjoying our meal. Every part of the Mood Boosting Fare tasted incredible and we're excited to try out the recipes ourselves.
John B.
Chef Liam is the real deal. He’s the chef you’re looking for — so kind, patient, and very skilled. We couldn’t believe we actually created the delicious meal we made under his supervision. Highly recommended!
Ivan M.
I purchased a class, with Chef Iain, for my wife's birthday. We took our 12 year old daughter and had a great time. Chef Lain explained the proper way to cut, peel, and mix, the order of food preparation and adding ingredients, how to tell when the pan is the proper temperature, and how to tell exactly when the food is cooked. We picked up so many tips that we can use in our everyday meals. Even our 12 year old got into the action flipping crepes. This class exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely book with Chef Iain again.
Justine N.
What a great experience! First off, he found his way to my apt with no issues and was fully prepared with ingredients, tools, pans, etc. We didn't have to do anything but sit down and get started. He also had a great sense of humor and the recipes were delicious. Highly recommend!
Michael H.
This was a wonderful culinary experience, led by the humble and humorous Chef Iain, who made the entirety of the cooking experience easy and exciting. I took my girlfriend for her 30th birthday, and she had a blast. We learned how to cook a delicious ginger and carrot soup, savory stuffed chicken, and sweet crepes. One of my favorite parts was when chef Iain showed my girlfriend and I how to flip the crepes in the pan. It was just like you see people flip things in cooking shows.
This was a great alternative to a typical night out for dinner together. I would highly recommend for couples to try! We were grateful to be taught some great new kitchen skills while getting to create a beautiful 3 course dinner to enjoy as well.
Chef Iain was very personable and a really good teacher. I always make dry chicken, but the was the first time my chicken was succulent. Thank you Chef Iain.
