Amazing experience for a team event and would definitely do it again!

10/05/2024
Chef Jarrett is the absolute best! His cooking class was fun, informative and interactive. Not to mention the food is DELICIOUS and he left extra for us! He explained everything in detail, demonstrated, let us try our hand at it, and made it work perfectly for 4 people (and 2 pups). Plus he was very accommodating when we had to move things last minute due to my Dad being rushed to the hospital the night before our scheduled class - will forever appreciate how kind and understanding he was to move our booking last minute. Will 100% book with Chef Jarrett again! He is one of the good ones, our friends enjoyed t so much too, and that Sweet Fig and Burrata Crostini was mouth-watering delicious. Plus rolling out the pasta is just fun!
