Booked the class Pizza in the Oven with Chef Mordechai

Chef Motti was amazing - he arrived with everything needed to jump right into the class. We asked for more focus on making the pizzas vs the other recipes, so he brought those delicious dishes already made. The toppings he brought were top-tier - two different tomato sauces he made from fresh tomatoes, homemade bechamel, three cheeses, fresh herbs, sausage, vegetables, etc. We dove in to hands-on sessions where he taught us about making two kinds of dough and forming the pizzas. Then we all learned how to get them in and out of the oven (we used our wood-burning Ooni and the electric one he brought). My husband had been having challenges in our Ooni with the dough sticking to the peel when putting them in the oven and topping falling off when he removed them, and Chef gave him tips on preventing that and recommendations for better tools (I had bought an Ooni brand perforated peel and it didn't get enough of the flour off the bottom). We made sooo many pizzas, so we got a lot of practice, and had leftovers to feed some hungry neighbors later on. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon spent chatting, cooking and eating - our teen boys even enjoyed it. We look forward to finding another excuse to cook with Chef Motti!

Maggie Y.

Booked the class Pizza in the Oven with Chef Mordechai in South Bay & Peninsula (Mountain View)

Chef Mordechai is amazing. My pizza making cooking class with Chef Mordechai was the best cooking class I ever had. The class is fun and very hands on. Chef brought a lot of extra materials for everyone to have plenty to practice and nailed the techniques and everything tasted amazing. Chef also agree to show us how to use my own wood burning pizza oven and share lots of tips. I will definitely recommend this class to everyone!

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!

We had so much fun at Chef Lorenzo's class! The food was great and tasted so good after a long day of work. If you are considering booking, I would highly recommend.

We had so much fun and learned so much with Chef Daniel. My wife and I went to his pasta making class and it was great. The space is neat and prepared for cooking and he guides you step by step. Very thoughtful and well prepared. We'll definitely do other classes with him.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta Workshop with Chef Doug in San Francisco (Mission)

Our experience with Chef Doug was fantastic! Not only was the food amazing, but he was wonderful company to have over for the evening and he left our kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrived. We canâ€™t wait to try the recipes he left us again and canâ€™t recommend him enough!

Evan S.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta Workshop with Chef Doug in San Francisco (Nob Hill)

Chef Doug was amazing. The recipes were delicious and he was very hands on in the lesson. He was also extremely friendly, and made great conversation. He also brings everything you need for the lesson, and does a great job cleaning afterwards. 10/10 will definitely do another course! Thanks for a fantastic evening!

Meredith V.

Booked the class Saffron-Infused Gulf Prawn Risotto with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

I booked this experience with Chef James as a Christmas present from our grandma to her granddaughter. She's 11 and is interested in being chef. Chef James was wonderfully inviting and friendly from the moment we all stepped into his home, and enjoyed some cheese, meats, and anchovy stuffed olives. We then helped to cook the risotto, and enjoyed the fruits of our work :) The risotto was amazing, cooked perfectly and so flavorful! We also loved the dolce cake for dessert - it was a wonderful end to the evening. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Tasandra G.

Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)

Our Executive Team of 11 had a wonderful Italian team building cooking experience with Chef Dirk! He has such a great, upbeat personality that had all of us laughing and engaged. We made a wonderful meal of homemade pasta and sauces, the dessert was fabulous and we really enjoyed our evening. He did a great job of accommodating our 3 food restrictions. I highly recommend him if you want a yummy dinner, great entertainment and to learn how to cook!

Randy S.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Daniel is a cool human being. We appreciated that he knew and explained the science and reasoning behind what we were doing, and helped us appreciate both science and art of cooking. Canâ€™t recommend him enough!

Crystal S.

Booked the class The Process of Perfect Pizza with Chef Cat in San Francisco (Bernal Heights)

Such a great experience!! I had so much fun and learned a lot, too! You can tell Chef Cat is passionate about her craft!

Teddy S.

Booked the class Wood Fired Neapolitan Style Pizza with Chef Phoebe in San Francisco (West Portal)

Was hoping it was a bit more in depth like getting the fire going or making the dough. Just rolling the dough and adding toppings to put in the oven wasn't what I had expected. To be fair, Phoebe did answer questions but the focus then got further diluted in making donuts and gelato ... I thought I signed up for a wood fired pizza making class

Ntokozo B.

Booked the event Italian Classics Revisited with Chef David in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

Chef David is not only a great chef, he's charismatic and a lot of fun. He knows how to walk the fine line between being playful and casual while also remaining very professional - quite a feat! The meal was absolutely delicious, and we picked up a lot of everyday cooking skills like tips and tricks that will dramatically reduce the time it takes for you to chop vegetables! Lots of fun, I highly recommend

Amber L.

Booked the event Kitchen Face-Off with Chef Phoebe in San Francisco (West Portal)

This was one of the best team experiences we've ever had! Thank you Chef Phoebe for a great day! Everyone had so much fun!

John C.

Booked the class Advanced Pasta: An Italian Heritage with Chef Ryan in San Francisco (Mission)

Great introduction to the science of pasta and the landscape of things you can do with 4 ingredients. We got to explore color and texture and make 3 very different pastas (and 3 meals worth of food) in the 2-hour session. Definitely recommended.

Norbert Y.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I am still going to give Chef Daniel five stars for being genial and professional, even though it was very hard to navigate the neighborhood, as Santee is more of an alley than a street, and the building itself was hard to get into, with so many security features. I was late as a result.

michele g.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

This class was beyond amazing! My husband and I decided to take this pizza cooking class as our date day/night. We learned how to make 3 types of pizza from scratch. The best part is enjoying the pizza. It tasted very yummy. I would recommended this pizza class to everyone. Chef Daniel was very organized, detailed. His studio was the best place to learn how to make pizza.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

We had so much fun in this class. Chef Daniel is extremely knowledgeable and gives you a hands on pizza making experience. Before the class, he ensured we had the appropriate directions (with pictures) to find his place easily and truly set the tone for an awesome evening. We plan on taking other classes with him and would definitely recommend him to others. During the class, we made 3 pizzas and he was hands on the entire time- ensuring we knew what we were doing, explaining how ingredients were working together, and setting us up for success when we try the same thing at home.

Sabrina Z.

Booked the class Fresh Stuffed Pasta with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Daniel was awesome! My fiance and I love to cook and wanted to do our engagement photos cooking. Chef Daniel's kitchen is so spacious and open and perfect for a big group. He accommodated our strange request to do our engagement photos during the cooking class. The food was delicious and Chef Daniel loves to teach and explain techniques while cooking. I think everyone came away from the class with new skills. Would definitely take another class with Chef Daniel. Thank you!!
