Dorothy W. Dorothy W.

Chef gave excellent instructions and answered ALL of our questions. I would have appreciated some individual feedback on our/my cutting skills to help me develop my proficiency withe a chef’s knife.

Brandon D. Brandon D.

Great class! It's a good balance of time spent doing each part of the meal prep and actually practicing some knife skills. Don't expect a bootcamp on knife cutting, but you get 15-25 or so minutes to practice, can ask for assistance, and get some quality advice/tips/tricks to take home and hone in your knife skills. If you have a good group, it's a great time. The instructor was super friendly/helpful and I'd definitely recommend the class.

Andrew E. Andrew E.

Intimate and elevated home style experience. 13-10 would recommend for couples and small groups of 6 or less. We’ve been twice and Ivan has been thoughtfully attentive with each experience.

Booked the class Fresh Pasta 101 with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

We took the pasta 101 class celebrating one of my daughter's birthday. Her siblings joined us and we had so much fun. I love chef Donna she was funny and informative. Excellent teacher.

Booked the class Feast Like A Greek with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!
