The Mediterranean cuisine that we cooked was absolutely delicious. There was so much flavor. Chef Washington not only showed us some valuable cooking skills, but was outgoing and engaging throughout the process. I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Washington. You won’t regret it.

This was a very fun experience given to me by my daughter as a Christmas gift.
We cooked Mediterranean fare and ate like Queens. This was a fun cooking lesson and a delicious meal.
This would be a great girls night out or even a date night for a couple.
I learned a lot of delicious ways to flavor my food with spices instead of salt.

Chef Washington was a great teacher! My mom and I decided to do a cooking class, which was out of our norm. I’m so glad we did because the food was delicious and we learned a lot.

This was a very fun experience for my fiance and I. We never cooked this meal before so we had a lot of fun. I never cook so learning from somebody who was patient made it relaxing and fun. We did this for our two year anniversary and my fiance had a wonderful time.

Chef Washington and Jane were absolutely fantastic — not only was the food amazing, but they were so committed to making us feel at home, teaching as we cooked, and engaging us in conversation. Big plus, their home is immaculate.

We had a great time making a delicious French dinner! Chef Washington is extremely personable and welcoming; his kitchen was prepped, well-equipped, and clean, with plenty of space to move around to the different stations. Our goal was to learn more about French sauces and flavors, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We will definitely book again!

Magnificent Moroccan Meal
with Chef Washington
in South Seattle
We loved the Moroccan cooking class with Chef Washington. Cooking a few things we had never cooked before. Chef had all of the ingredients prepared so the class would flowed well and quick, allowing enough time to sit and enjoy what we cooked while we chatted with the others in the class and Chef. Would recommend 100%!

Get Rolling Sushi
with Chef Washington
in South Seattle
We made a 5-course sushi-inspired meal! It included rolling sushi (both vegetarian friendly and premium seafood), making a delicious udon noodle dish, rolling and frying spring rolls, making prawns, and preparing a scrumptious dessert.
Our chef was down to earth and encouraged us to be present in the process. He truly instilled within us a belief that we could leave his house and cook our own meals confidently (which we've done).
It was truly like cooking with a friend! We vibed to music, talked about life, and made super enjoyable food.
This was an experience like no other and I cannot wait to do it again!
Thanks, Chef Washington!

We cooked an amazing Italian 4 course meal. My favorite thing was learning the tidbits of cooking and feeling like I was in a safe inclusive environment. It was clean, intimate and I really enjoyed this unique experience. Chef L was a big part of the reason it was great, he was funny, smart, & made things simple and enjoyable.

Culinary Sessions of Sushi Making
with Chef Washington
in South Seattle
Chef Washington was so accommodating and helpful. I'd never rolled sushi or created a roll before and he was a great teacher. My partner was running late and he was flexible and made sure he was caught up and able to get the full experience. The sushi was great and the family atmosphere was very wholesome. Definitely an experience I'd recommend to anyone.
