Booked the class The Mastery of Spanish Fare with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)
Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

Booked the class Modernized Spanish Tapas with Chef Ruel in San Jose (North San Jose)
Cooking class with Chef Ruel was a fantastic experience! My boyfriend and I attended the Spanish Tapas class right before Valentine's day. Chef Ruel had a lovely setup with all the necessary ingredients at hand. Another couple was also present for the class and we all split up to chop and prepare different parts of the meal. Chef Ruel provided some basic cooking tips as well ad advanced instruction on how everything comes together for the final presentation. We had a delightful time taking the class and really enjoyed spending the evening with the other couple, Chef Ruel, and Shelly.
Booked the class Secrets of Paella for 2 with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)
Chef Joni was an amazing teacher for our Paella for two class. She had everything laid out beautifully and even had a little snack area so we could munch while cooking. The first thing we made was Sangria, which was lovely to sip on throughout the class. She taught us new techniques for cutting veggies and also introduced us to new ingreidents we hadn't used before. She also made sure to capture all the moments for us, taking pictures, and really laying out her areas to be "instagram ready." We made paella but also a valencia orange cake which was so easy to make and tastey! The decorating of the desserts portion of the class was so fun! Our time with her flew by even though the class actually ran a little longer than scheduled! The result was amazing food and an amazing time. She even took us out to her garden to see the veggies she was growing. She was very kind and obviously passionate about her work. We had plenty of left over food and Sangria to take home. I highly recommend a class with Chef Joni!

We had a great time with Chef Joni. Her class was very informative and the little extras that she did were so appreciated. The knife skills she gave us were so helpful. We loved the Paella and it was nice to have Chef Joni dine with us! She also showed us how to make Spanish Sangria. We so enjoyed our time in the kitchen with Chef Joni!!

Chef Joni was amazing! She was so much fun to cook with. She taught us great cooking skills but was careful to meet us where we were at in our culinary experience, and she never made us feel intimidated. One of my favorite parts of the experience was that she brought in alot of food science into the class which helped us to understand what was happening with our food and why at certain points in the process. I would highly recommend taking a class with her!
Booked the class Tapas Party! with Chef Hassan
Chef Hassan made our first cooking experience exciting and incredibly fun. He managed 5 strong personalities effortlessly. His jokes and willingness to engage each of us was appreciated and priceless.

I had my doubts about what to expect when I booked Hassan but he blew my expectations out of the water. Not only did he graciously agree to drive 1.5 hours for the class, but he was extremely flexible, friendly and hands-on. He did an incredible job of helping all six of us learn a bunch of different things about cooking everything from lamb to flan and we all agreed it was an excellent night. I'd recommend Hassan to anyone interested in a cooking class. The food is delicious, the class itself is really useful and Hassan was genuinely nice and friendly and a joy to be around. Thanks for everything.

We had an absolutely incredible experience learning to cook with Chef Roddy and his team. From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly professional. Chef Erick has a true gift—not just for cooking, but for teaching. He breaks things down in a way that’s engaging, approachable, and genuinely fun, whether you’re a beginner or someone who already loves being in the kitchen. The highlight of the experience was making paella—and not just any paella, but hands down the best we’ve ever had. Every step, from layering flavors to perfecting the texture of the rice, was thoughtfully guided. You can tell Chef Erick is passionate about his craft, and that passion carries through in every detail. His team was equally fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly in sync, which made the whole experience feel seamless and elevated. It never felt rushed, and there was a great balance of hands-on learning, storytelling, and enjoying the process. This wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a memorable culinary experience. We walked away not only with new skills, but with a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking (and a serious craving for paella). Highly, highly recommend Chef Roddy and his team—you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great time learning new recipes with Chef Libby. Her laid back approach made rather fancy dishes seem easy, and the results were delicious. I peppered her with a ton of questions about how to pick which shrimp to buy at the store, suggestions for what to do with leftover egg whites, etc., and Chef Libby answered them all. Thanks Chef Libby!
Booked the class Secrets of Paella for 2 with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)
Chef Joni was amazing!! 110% recommend taking her cooking. My boyfriend and I took her paella class and boy was it fun! We had her come to our home to help us celebrate our 4 year anniversary. We started with the cheese platter which tasted amazing and she taught us what goes well together and definitely introduced us to amazing products! Then we moved on the sangria to sip throughout the night. She taught us so many new skills especially with cutting, which was something new for the both of us. Chef Joni was energetic and knowledgeable about cooking and we had such a memorable time with her. After getting the paella pretty much done we decorated and platted our dessert which was a blast, we definitely got to be creative with this part and the dessert was so yummy. Overall we loved every minute of our time with CHef Joni and would definitely take another one of her classes.

My girlfriend and I booked Chef Ruel for a pre-Valentines Day (February 13th) cooking experience, and we can’t say enough about how great our evening was! We worked with fresh ingredients and took turns learning various cooking techniques, while we prepared our meal. The atmosphere was very light and Chef Ruel was very accommodating to both our dietary restrictions and our varied levels of cooking experience. At the end of the night we enjoyed a meal that I would have paid good money to be served at a fancy restaurant for Valentines Day. We’re definitely going to book another cooking experience with Chef Ruel, and we’re bringing a bunch of our friends with us. Five Stars!

Chef Joni was absolutely amazing! I surprised my husband and he said this was the best birthday ever! Chef Joni really listened to our preferences and brought that into the kitchen and to the table! She showed us some neat cooking tips and knife cutting skills that my husband and I really appreciated. And what can I say about the food except it was divine. The paella was beautiful, robust in flavor and oh so fun to cook. The pratata bravas was really easy to make and tasted fresh. And the cake had just right amount of citrus, moist and easy to bake. Now I’m no baker (except maybe Betty crocker’s sous chef maybe), but this cake I’ll definitely try at home. Chef also taught us some cool playing tricks! My husband will definitely want to come back and do this again. Thank you Chef!

3.5 delightful hours of food and fun Let me start of by saying that this was an exceptionally fun experience. It was evident from the first moment that Chef Hassan is extremely passionate about his craft, food, hosting guests, and making the experience enjoyable. His deliberate thought into the dishes, knowledge of the culture and people where they were derived, and adamant insistency that we learn and replicate the dishes (in the future) made this a great time. In short, we were very satisfied with the Tapas Dinner. Keep in mind that this literally is a feast; we were stuffed. The 7 dishes were splendid, and Chef ensured that we were hands-on during all the food preparation. Between making each of the dishes, drinking the Pinot that we brought, and cheerfully conversing with Chef Hassan, we learned a lot about Moroccan/Spanish food, history, and culture over the 3+ hours. Five stars. Highly recommend. I plan to do this again, inviting more friends next time.

Nice guy, but it was put in a little of this and a little of that. No written handout for my granddaughter to take home. The main sauce for flavoring was already made. Knives VERY dull. Didn’t make flan, just served flan already made. Finished 1/2 hour early Saw an email asking us to come at 4 instead of 6 after I got home. Expensive cooking class for a quick in and out. I have taken classes in France, Italy, San Francisco, etc. Cassie will never be able to get the same results without a recipe to start Disappointing
