This was the best cooking class experience I have ever had. Chef Polly was able to make the entire meal gluten free for me. She was incredibly insightful and warm. My partner and I had the best time at her street food class. Go to her class and you won’t regret it! It was the best bday gift.

Chef Polly was very welcoming, knowledgable, and encouraging. Her home and water front view were beautiful. We learned how to make 4 separate dishes and got to eat along the way. We never felt intimidated and also enjoyed learning the history of the meals.

Chef Polly is very friendly and knowledgeable! She taught us how to make various Korean street foods. Everything was explained very thoroughly, from how to prep the ingredients down to the cooking with lots of opportunity for hands on experience. I’m excited to make the dishes she taught us!

We had such a great time with Chef Polly! Her kitchen is beautiful and perfect for groups. There were three couples and we all had lots of hands-on time and plenty of food. We're excited to make her recipes at home and also use some new techniques we learned.

Chef Polly was a great host and chef! Her home was welcoming and warm (she had a very thoughtful playlist and tea waiting). We learned everything from the basics (i.e. good hygiene and knife skills) to how to make more complex Korean dishes including kimchi pancake, steamed buns (dumplings), and dalgona (the cookies in Squid Game). I would recommend her to any chefs, whether novice or expert <3

We had a great time conversing, learning, and eating the delicious food with Chef Polly during her Korean street food class! The food was delicious and we learned a lot of different cooking techniques that we can hopefully try at home! We took a few steamed buns and dalgona candy home as well which our daughter and mother-in-law really enjoyed! Highly recommend Chef Polly’s class!

Chef Polly was super hospitable and knowledgeable. We had fun making plant based Korean food and got to eat it while there! She happily answered any questions while teaching us the cooking steps.

Polly was an amazing host. This was better than anything I could have hoped for. We learned a lot, ate a lot and had plenty of awesome conversations about the Korean culture and food. Wholeheartedly recommend a class with Polly.

My husband and I had an awesome time learning how to make bonchon with Chef Polly! This was our anniversary gift to each other instead of simply going out to eat. We can’t wait to take more of Chef Polly’s classes. She introduced us to new ingredients, recipes and techniques and we left her home confident we can do this at our home. Highly recommend!

My partner and I loved our Korean Banchan class with Chef Polly! We felt Polly was empowering us to cook on our own at home, and she gave great tips and little tricks with each recipe. From perfecting the mixed purple rice, to various vegetable side dishes, to making kimchi, we covered a lot. I loved that this class was so hands on, too. Highly recommend!

Cooking a meal with Chef Polly was a pure delight. Over the holidays family and friends joined Polly in a Korean Essentials class in her home. As many members were serious foodies, Polly took this into account and added some complex dishes such as brisket (still thinking about how savory ans yummy it was). Learned some great techniques and shared a warm and delicious dinner with friends and family. Polly is easygoing and kind but obviously knows her stuff!

I had the most incredible experience at the Running for a Better Oakland (RBO) kickoff Fundraiser Dinner, and we owed much of it to the exceptional dinner Polly provided! The food was delicious, and the presentation was Michelin-star quality... Chef Polly's performance was flawless.

Preparing Korean recipes with Chef Polly was a joyful and delicious experience. Korean food is among my favorite cuisines, and Chef Polly taught us the basics of some popular Korean dishes. The class was participatory, and Polly clearly explained the recipes and process of the food preparation. I highly recommend the course and hope that Chef Polly will teach a class on cooking Korean barbecue.

I worked with Chef Polly to cater an elegant dinner party for my brother's birthday. Polly was a talented and creative partner throughout the process. Not only was the food sublime... her consultation on everything from menus, to how to set up, to how to set the table, to hiring the assistants, cleaning everything up at the end, made the experience truly enjoyable for me and all my guests.

Chef Polly is a gem! I was amazed at the number and variety of Korean recipes we were able to prepare in just 2 hours, and the resulting meal was delicious -- lots of stuff we'll cook regularly at home in the future. Thanks for making us all feel so welcome, we'll definitely be back in your classes soon!

Chef Polly orchestrated an unforgettable experience by catering my Maui wedding in December 2022. Having collaborated with numerous chefs throughout both my professional and personal endeavors, I can confidently assert that Polly's culinary prowess is unparalleled. From meticulous planning to locally-sourcing the ingredients, she flawlessly managed every facet of the event's cuisine. Her creative touch extended to designing personalized menus at each place setting, while also skillfully coordinating the wait staff. The result was a gastronomic masterpiece that left an indelible mark on my taste buds – unquestionably one of the finest meals I've ever savored.
