We really enjoyed Chef Iainâ€™s class. This was easily one of our favorites! The menu selection was fantastic, especially the tapas-style variety. I was thrilled that we got to make homemade flatbreadâ€”it was such a pleasant surprise and definitely a highlight. The food variety was excellent, and the smaller, more intimate class size made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt personal and engaging without being overwhelming. The only thing that kept it from being a perfect 10 was the room temperature. It was quite warm, and with the ovens on and no noticeable AC or fan, it got a little uncomfortable at times. That said, everything else was wonderful, and weâ€™d absolutely take another class with Chef Iain.

I loved learning about the different processes and useful techniques to make cooking easier and accessible. Chef Iain gave me a better appreciation for cooking and trying my own recipes. I can now cook tastier meals at home! This was my second class with Chef Iain and he is a great teacher

Had so much fun last weekend with Chef Iain! I learned so many new techniques ie how to cut an onion the RIGHT way, how to keep the cutting board from slipping, and so much more. Chef Iain was welcoming, patient, humorous, and kind. Also, everything in the kitchen was immaculately clean and organized. The food was delicious and there was more than enough of it - were even sent home with the yummy leftovers! I would definitely participate in his other menus. Such a great time.

We had a great cooking class experience with Chef Iain! We highly recommend it. Not only did we learn some cooking tips, but the food was great and plenty of leftovers! The kitchen prep areas were well organized for the 4 of us (we worked in pairs). Thank you Chef Iain for a memorable evening.

My husband (who is a seasoned cook) and I absolutely loved the menu and decided to sign up. We were warmly greeted from his balcony and felt comfortable from the beginning. His knowledge and expertise was impressive â€¦ranging from simple strategies when working with spices to more complex tips (I.e suggesting foods that complement each other). His tomato marmalade is something we are adding to every meal possible! He answered questions with style and grace. A kind chef that made the atmosphere warm and friendly. Thank you chef Iain for making this an evening we will be talking about for a long time!

Chef Iain is awesome. He's clearly super passionate about what he does, and he's exceptionally talented. He was helpful in describing each dish, how to make it, why the ingredients work, and how to present it aesthetically. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience!

I had been wanting to try a cooking class and I am so glad that this was my first experience. Chef Iain is personable and made the whole process fun and exciting. It was intimate and watching our creations come to life was impressive. The food! Wow, the food was mouthwatering good. My friends and I continued to talk about the experience the whole drive home.

Chef Iain created a fun atmosphere to explore the fundamentals of making tasty food. He is very friendly and his openness allowed us to ask many questions (about things that weren't even related to the specific food we were making). If you want to have a fun time cooking with a professional, eating fantastic food, and learning priceless tips in the kitchen, then look no further: Chef Iain is your person. Highly recommend the experience.

Iain was a terrific host and teacherâ€¦and we came home with leftovers. Weâ€™re relatively inexperienced cooks but he stuck with us, showing, explaining and sharing. Highly recommended!

Chef Iain was great! Made adjustments for my husband who had dietary restrictions. helped us with the cooking and cleaning so we could be quick and actually eat sitting down. Note the course is in his home, which has an older kitchen and rather tight space.

I had the honor to meet and share an evening of laughs, learning, and great food with Chef Iain last Friday night. I enjoy cooking and learning new techniques, so being in the Chefâ€™s own kitchen, watching how he takes the same ingredients I use and turn them into delicious meals, while also being able to get my hands dirty and cook myself, it was the best of both worlds. Chef Iain is welcoming and has a great sense of humor. We were laughing all night between the delicious courses of homemade tapas. If you are looking for a better option than just a night out for dinner, contact Chef Iain for a unique and intimate dining experience.

We had a great time with Chef Iain! He brought everything we needed to our kitchen and helped us make a stellar tapas dinner! We even had plenty of leftovers for the next day. He did a great job helping us feel more comfortable with eyeballing ingredients and practicing cooking with the ingredients you have to make a delicious meal. Would recommend!

My 12-year old daughter and I had a great father-daughter date. Chef Ian was thorough, conscientious, and kind. He expressed awareness of my daughter's sensitivity to spice. I appreciated how he seamlessly tailored his instructions to a beginner level (my daughter), an intermediate level (myself), and an advanced level (the other couple who attended the same class). He taught simple techniques like how to slice an onion, peel garlic, and grate a zucchini, and more advanced tips like the chemistry of dough and the use of an egg as a binder. We really enjoyed our time, and we hope to do something like this again!

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!

Back in late July, for his birthday, my partner and I took a Spanish tapas class with Chef Iain. We loved it. Iain has a great way about himâ€”a dry sense of humor meets excellent and patient instruction meets rather delicious outcomes. Not only did we learn how to make some tasty tapas (for which we also got the recipes and have practiced a time or two), we also came away with some great tips on how to use a few kitchen tools, most notably a couple of must-have kitchen knives of which I knew nothing, as well as reiterating the value of mis en place (having all your ingredients measured, cut, peeled, sliced, grated, etc. before you start) â€”which I already knew from my own novice experience makes a big difference in outcomes when things are where they need to beâ€”when they need to be there. Iain is very knowledgeable, a great conversationalist, and a talented chef with decades of experience. I found his class to be a great experience for the money. I expect that I'll sign up again in the future. (Not leaving a tip here since I did so in person.)

I booked a class with Chef Iain for a departmental team building event and it was Awesome. The chef invited us into his home and was prepared to lead us through a fun and educational journey. The stations we prepared before our arrival, but we did all the work. It was fun to learn the science and chemistry involved in cooking. The food was delicious and sitting down with your immediate coworkers was nostalgic of pre-pandemic lunches. We had soo much food, great conversations, and fun outside of the office. I recommend this for a friends group, coworkers, and even as date night.

Our cooking class experience with Chef Iain was an absolute delight! From start to finish, he seamlessly blended culinary expertise with a sprinkle of humor, making the entire session both educational and incredibly enjoyable. Chef Iain's infectious enthusiasm for cooking was evident in every dish we prepared, and his witty remarks kept the atmosphere light and lively throughout the class. Not only did we learn valuable cooking techniques and recipes, but we also laughed our way through the experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Chef Iain's unique approach to teaching made the class stand out, and we left feeling inspired to recreate the delicious dishes at home. Overall, we highly recommend Chef Iain's cooking class to anyone looking for a fun and informative culinary experience!

Chef Iain was an excellent instructor! He gave us wonderful tips such as proper knife techniques, spraying the spatula with non-stick cooking spray and squeezing out the liquid from the grated zucchini. He adapted the menu to make it lacto-ovo vegetarian and all the tapas were all scrumptious! He even sent us home with leftovers. If you are looking for an amazing experienced chef who will go above and beyond, I would highly recommend Chef Iain!

This was such an incredibly enjoyable experience. The entire meal was delicious- better than I could have hoped. And Chef Ian was fantastic- super organized and on top of everything. In addition to demonstrating each step, he gave each of us individual attention, providing a lot of very useful, universally applicable guidance- like the the most efficient way to chop an onion, or how to hold and move the knife when doing various cuts. Heâ€™s also just a very cool guy- funny, but focused- no wasted time during this action-packed class. My party of four came away from the class very satisfied with the experience and a delicious dinner. Highly recommended!

Chef Iain was excellent! He was informative about the culture and history of the food, and gave us excellent pointers on shopping for ingredients and using kitchen tools. Oh, and the food tasted amazing too. I will definitely be making some of these things repeatedly at home. Definitely recommend this class or any others he teaches!

Terrific food, well explained. Chef was well prepared and willing to compromise on hot spices which my wife doesn't like. Friendly and professional demeanor made the experience well worth it. Because food was plentiful, we were able to have it again for dinner.
