Booked the class Gnocchi al Ragu with Chef Zenaidy in South Bay & Peninsula (Foster City)
Chef Zenaidy is the best! She is so fun and friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic, but most importantly, we learned so much! Very hands-on instruction and Chef Zenaidy makes you feel like you really can make everything on your own at home. Best part is that she speaks Italian, so we truly felt like we were with family. Grazie mille!!!

Had a blast taking this class. Chef Zenaidy was very welcoming and friendly when she teaching us. The meals we made were delicious and very easy to prepare, my favorite being the avocado cream soup. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and take again.

This was an amazingly fun and informative class. Chef Zenaidy is extremely charismatic, so generous with her knowledge, really made us feel comfortable in her class, and taught us to make some delicious meals - and was great company to enjoy them with. I would highly recommend.

We were kind of nervous as we had no idea how it is going to be, turns out it was a wonderful experience, it was more like meeting new friends and cooking together for a delicious meal. The dishes are easy to make, look and taste good. Glad we did this.

Chef Zenaidy is a fantastic chef and teacher. She speaks multiple languages and has lived all over the world. She has a wonderful style of fusion including using ingredients from Asia, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and France, just to name a few. We loved her version of Sicilian caponata, which was so good.

Booked the class Pasta Making Like a Pro with Chef Justine in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)
Great class! It was slightly unorganized at the start, but I believe it was because it was the last class right before a major holiday. I learned more in this class than in the other cooking classes in general. Well done!

We did not get the recipes. garn777@gmail.com nelsusan@gmail.com The class was good, the food was very good, but we would have preferred learning in a smaller group.

Had a good time, pasta and salad were delicious. Only suggestion will be to have some chairs we we can sit and eat instead of standing and eat.

I booked a cooking class with Chef Zenaidy as a christmas gift adventure for my family. We had a lot of fun! We got to cook a tasty meal and pick up some cool tips and techniques from a master chef. Chef Zenaidy also taught us some of her signature recipes she invented.

Booked the class Gnocchi al Ragu with Chef Zenaidy in South Bay & Peninsula (Foster City)
Chef Zenaidy was AWESOME! Most of us had very little experience with cooking and she took the time to show us extra tips and tricks, even how to modify the recipe to fit our tastes. She was so hospitable and we learned so much, even the seasoned cook in our group learned some things! We’ll definitely be back again!

Chef Zenaidy was awesome! Talented in teaching skill as well as her Chef skills. I love to cook and learned some basics that I struggled with (sharpening knives) and took home some great recipes. Had a great time and Chef managed the diverse group.

My partner and I had a lovely time cooking with Chef Zenaidy. As someone who doesn't cook often, Zenaidy gave us so many great tips and pointers to improve our cooking at home. My partner cooks a lot and still learned so much from our session. Plus, it was just a lovely evening with good company. Definitely 5 stars in our book, and if you can, we really recommend taking the class with a few friends! The more the merrier.

Chef Zenaidy put together an amazing cooking experience ! I am a beginner when it comes to cooking and Chef Zenaidy not only made the process easy to follow and understand but extremely fun and informative. Her home was extremely cozy and made for a more intimate and friendly cooking atmosphere. The end result was an incredible meal ! I highly recommend this class !

Delicious food! I have always loved pasta and it was fun to learn how to make pasta in action.
Erica M.
Booked the class Summer Pasta Classics with Chef Justine in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)
The chef was wonderful—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about teaching. I really appreciated their enthusiasm and the quality of the food. My only feedback is that the class itself felt a bit disorganized. We started late, there were a lot of participants, and it wasn’t always clear what we were making, in what order, or what techniques we were meant to be learning. A brief demonstration and a clearer overview at the beginning would have made the experience much smoother. The class also ran about 20 minutes over, and unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to eat the dessert we made. I thought I overheard that the staff may have been short-handed, so I understand that unexpected things can happen. Despite that, I would absolutely take another class because I enjoyed the chef and think the experience has a lot of potential.

Booked the class Tuscan to Share - Date Night with Chef Justine in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)
TUSCAN TO SHARE - DATE NIGHT well let me start by saying she was very nice. we felt she was totally unorganized. it appeared she had never made this meal before. she was reading the recipe. she had everyone doing different things it was impossible to follow along. from the start there was issues with missing ingredients not being at the workstation. we also never got the desert. she had forgotten. she offered us a scoop of ice cream. I really wanted to make this special for my wife. it was my gift to her for Mother's Day we have done a couple of cooking classes at other locations. this was by far the most disappointing.

Not a good cooking class. Venue was tight. Chef was pushy and rushed. We skipped making ice cream
Boya Q.
Booked the class Timeless Culinary Tools and Techniques with Chef Justine in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)
A sub chef at last minute. No teaching necessarily but just follow the process. Not good. Kitchen was overcrowded with people without stove. We were paired with strangers and not enough things for people to work on. We didn’t even end up having a piece of ribs for ourselves at all! Very much below expectations.
Owen J.
Booked the class Romance in Tuscany - Date Night with Chef Justine in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)
We were paired up with another couple so really only got to cook less than half a meal. Pretty disappointed for something entitled “romantic†and “date nightâ€. Just be upfront about this in the description.
