Ultimate Vegetarian Dumplings
with Chef Edmund
in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)
Such a fun night! Chef Eddie was an amazing teacher, giving detailed instructions plus individual feedback and recommendations to everyone who attended. He also taught us a ton about soy sauces and how to mix different ingredients together to make the perfect dumpling dipping sauce. And of course all the food was exceptionally delicious. We've already discussed looking for more Chef Eddie classes to attend in the future!

Vegan Dinner in Tuscany
with Chef Maggie
This was fun, informative, and delicious! Maggie made a custom menu for us and was extremely positive and accommodating. She was extremely professional and prepared, and she was totally unfazed by our rather small kitchen. Highly recommend!
