Booked Fresh Italian Gnocchi From Scratch with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Sunset Park)

This cooking class was an amazing experience! The instruction was very professional and clear, and we learned so many new tips and techniques. The order of preparation was perfectly planned, so everything flowed smoothly. The chef was not only highly skilled but also fun, warm, and engaging, which made the whole experience even better! Highly recommend this class- prefect as a gift, date night, or a special experience!

Booked Fresh Italian Gnocchi From Scratch with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Sunset Park)

Chef Jamie kindly welcomed us into her home and provided a comfortable environment to experiment with flavors and enjoy developing a 3 course meal. This was a great date night activity that left us with tips and tricks we can bring into our own kitchen. Chef Jamie is a well seasoned professional whose expertise and sense of humor made for a fun evening in the kitchen. Thanks Chef!

Booked The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth in Serving the NYC area

Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!
