We thoroughly enjoyed the creative and whimsical menu of Studio Ghibli inspired dishes, expertly crafted by Chef Vivian. If you are seeking a delightful and imaginative experience, or a unique date idea for couples, this offering comes highly recommended. Chef Vivian and Michi graciously welcomed us into their home, where we had the pleasure of engaging in the art of cooking. They are both wonderful individuals and exceptional instructors. We had a truly enjoyable time sharing and learning about culinary arts and cultural interests that we mutually appreciate. It was particularly pleasing that we prepared a four-course meal and were able to take home any uneaten portions. Additionally, a digital recipe list for each dish was provided. This class offers a relaxing, highly entertaining atmosphere, and the discussions were very engaging. We wholeheartedly recommend this class and eagerly anticipate participating in more classes with Chef Vivian and Michi in the future. ã‚りãŒã¨ã†ã”ã–ã„ã¾ã™ã€‚

We participated in The Bear themed cooking class. Chef Vivian & Michi welcomed us into their home, were very friendly, easy going and great teachers. Their cultural backgrounds made for great conversation and the meal was so full of flavor. We would absolutely participate in a future class with these chefs

We completed the ramen noodle class out was great. The broth was awesome and we had enough for leftovers the next day. We have already signed up for another class.

An incredible experience we’ll never forget! We got started with our main goal of learning how to cut an onion! From there, we learned how to prepare a wonderful meal from start to finish. This was a warm and memorable evening, after the first whisk, we were cooking with friends. We’re grateful to have met such a wonderful team and gained the tools to enhance our own meals at home. Thank you, Vivian and Michi!!

We had such an amazing time learning how to make pasta. It’s only been a day and my husband won’t stop talking about wanting to recreate the menu—which we are planning on doing tomorrow already. Not only would I recommend the House of Gucci experience but we’re looking into other classes this duo offers.

We chose the Italian Feast, and it was an unforgettable experience! The two chefs were not only incredibly talented but also warm and caring, which made the entire event feel special. It wasn’t just about amazing food—it was so much fun! My whole team loved every moment. The setting was beautiful, the dishes were absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone—and honestly, I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

We did the Noodling around the Pasta with chef Vivian and Michi, it was a fantastic experience. We were most interested in learning the techiques of making pasta from scratch , bruschetta and tiramisu, as we have always used the store bought pasta.We found the class fun and very informative.Thanks for great tips throughout the class. We are looking forward to making pasta's from scratch at home. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone! - Sneha

We signed up for the “The Bear†cooking class for a date night, we’re big fans of the show and figured, why not cook like it? Chef Vivian and Chef Michi were great, super easy to talk to, really down to earth, and made the whole thing feel comfortable. We had some really good conversations with them about their cooking backgrounds, what food means to them, and even got some cool travel tips for their home countries, Peru and Japan. The whole night just felt really warm and inviting just like hanging out with friends who just happen to be amazing chefs.
The class was a four course meal, and honestly everything we made was great, but the two that really stood out were Sydney’s omelette with the potato chips on top and the risotto. That omelette was such a clever idea, and we’ve already said we’re making it again at home. It was quite easy and I may be investing in a new kitchen gadget for the house, a Japanese tamago pan! And the risotto’s something I’ve always avoided because it seemed like such a hassle, but the way they taught it made it feel totally doable, I’m actually excited to try it again. It was far less daunting than I thought. The after dinner, we got to play with Agar Agar to make some cool dessert pearls to top our ice cream with, we felt like a mix of a scientist and chef.
What I appreciated most was how approachable it all was. The food looked and tasted like something from a nice restaurant, but nothing about it felt overcomplicated or intimidating. Nothing was too greasy or overly processed, just nice clean ingredients that made for tasty dishes. I’ve done other classes before where it’s rushed and overly fancy and you walk out thinking, “Well… not doing that again.†This was completely different, they showed us how to make impressive dishes that actually feel possible to recreate at home. And the little tips and tricks they shared really stuck with me, especially the tip about scoring mushrooms (we felt like pros) and not washing the flavor off before cooking.
You get to cook and eat a full four-course meal, learn from two super talented chefs, and walk away with a fun memory you’ll actually want to tell people about.
If you’re looking for a fun, cozy date night or just want to pick up some new cooking skills without feeling overwhelmed, I definitely recommend booking with Chef Vivian and Michi. It was relaxed, memorable, and just a really good time. We’ll definitely be back for another class.

Chef Vivian and Michi were incredible. They were able to accommodate the dietary restrictions we had and taught us how to prepare the best meal I've had in ages, (better that the exclusive restaurant the night before). I highly recommend the Peruvian experience.

Vivian and Michi were amazing! We had a great experience tonight making ramen from scratch. They were both professional in knowledge and very welcoming and friendly. They showed us in clear easy instructions how to make each items and the steps involved. They had answered all our questions and gave advice on how to change the dishes when making at home for new taste. I feel confident with their recipe and instructions, I can now take this home and share with friends.

We had an amazing time in our Italian cooking class with Vivian and Michi! Vivian was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make the experience fun and engaging. We learned great tips, made pasta from scratch, and felt confident enough to try it at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone had a blast. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it!

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would! Chef Vivi and Michi are some of the most kindest and patient people I’ve ever met. I originally booked the kids sushi class as a gift for my daughter’s birthday and my husband also booked the ramen class for our anniversary. The ramen class was first and it was such a great experience. It was much easier than expected and everything was simply delicious. I definitely feel like I could go home and make my own ramen one day
