Chef Iain made the whole experience fun and relaxed. The food was great and we walked away having learned great techniques!

Chef Iain was the best! I learned many new techniques and the entire meal was outstanding. Preparing the meal was great fun given Chef's easy-going nature, wit, warmth and knowledge. This was by far the most fun cooking class I've ever had. And for Chef to invite us to cook at his home made the experience all the more charming.

I expected to learn how to make a few tapas, but the real benefit of the night was the dozen or so cooking tips Ian gave me that I had never thought of before. Ian was the best!

Chef Cregg was AMAZING! I would highly recommend any classes Cregg teaches. The food was over the top delicious and I learned how to julienne carrots, cucumber and tofu. The spicy tuna hand rolls were phenomenal! If you are looking for a fun activity along with a delicious meal, look no further than a class taught by Chef Cregg! You will love it!!
