Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas were incredible to us, we had a lovely time at their home to learn how to make such delicious food. Thank you for having us!

My mom and I chose to do a private cooking class with Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas at our home. We had a great time, and both chefs were incredible. The food was great and we learned a lot.
Chris H.
Michelle and Christmas are wonderful chefs and gracious, attentive hosts! We did the Spanish menu, learned a lot, and were able to help prepare and enjoy an excellent meal. The entire experience was stellar, from pre-event communication until the conclusion. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience with Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas. We celebrated our first anniversary with them and they did not disappoint. They were very patient with our lack of culinary skills, set up an amazing dinner table with excellent service. Highly recommended!

Both ladies were very friendly and enjoyable but this class was not as advertised. We chose the Spanish Meal which advertises a paella on the page. We did not make paella.. we made penne pasta with chorizo which was listed as an option, but we were never asked for our choice. The cake shown was replaced with a custard that needed to sit for 4 hours after we were done, so it was not ready until the next day, on the next day the "custard" was still soup in a tin in my fridge. The "spanish salad" was lettuce with carrots and tomatoes. I hosted the class at my house and they came with no pots, pans, bowls, or plates and used about every dish in my house. Once we were done cooking (1hr not 3 as advertised) they quickly left and the kitchen was a mess, sink full of dishes, counter covered in food, and floor a complete mess. I would have been better off taking the $170 and buying premium ingredients to cook a better meal myself. Basically, I paid the money to have them grocery shop and prep some of the ingredients and make a mess of my kitchen that I had to clean. I was embarrassed in front of my date for the experience, and it is not worth the money.

Classic Pho From Scratch
with Chef Michelle
in Houston (Blue Bell Village)
Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas did a wonderful job hosting us! They helped to accommodate for our peanut allergy, and tariff is in a way where it was quick and easy to make each course. The salad was fantastic with the candied pecans, and the strawberry vinaigrette was a good sub in for the peanut sauce. The shrimp toast and duck sauce were a great appetiser, and the pandan waffles with berries and ice cream was a great finisher! The main pho itself held a spicy, flavourful beef broth, and the cuts of beef were really thick yet tender. Our only minor gripe was that we wished we cooked the noodle longer since the texture felt a bit stiff. Fun time overall, perfect for a date night!

We cooked a 3 course meal: salad steak and lobster with green beans, carrots and mashed potatoes all from scratch. Made a chocolate cake dessert that accommodated my husband gluten free diet. It was very hands on and they explained everything along the way. And it was great result at the end.

We had such a wonderful experience, thanks to Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas. Both were extremely patient and friendly as they guided us through the process of cooking an Indian meal from scratch. The butter chicken was to die for, and we also enjoyed a tasty salad, naan and a delicious apple dessert. All in all a great date night for my husband and me. Would 100% recommend!
