Feast Like A Greek

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Fresh Italian Gnocchi From Scratch

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!

The Best of Italian Favorites

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!

We had a fantastic time with chef Kenneth. He helped us prepare a delicious meal and we learned a lot. He is also great with kids. We planned the event for my middle school aged son who loves cooking and he had a blast. 10/10 will definetly book again. Thank you!
