Booked the class Signature Flavors of Thai Fare with Chef Made Master in Centreville

Chef Made welcomed us into his home with opened arms. He was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. He described all the different herbs we would be using in the various dishes we were making. We prepped the herbs and vegetables according to his helpful instructions, while he cut up the meats. Afterwards, we joined him in the kitchen to cook the dishes. He showed all the other ingredients (e.g., mushroom soy sauce), talked about the different types of curry, and answered questions. Then we all took turns adding ingredients, stirring and tasting to make sure the seasonings were correct. After everything was finished cooking, we sat down to a delicious lunch - Panang gai with chicken, Kapow moo with ground pork, Num tok moo with pork - all served with beer (our choosing). While we ate, he prepared our dessert - mango with sweet sticky rice. We had a great time with Chef Made and the others who joined us and the food was fantastic. We also came away with the recipes and the leftovers. It was such a fun afternoon!

Booked the class Chef's Essential Sushi Rolls with Chef Justin in Alexandria (West End)

Fantastic core memory for our family! Professional, super accommodating, fun and delicious! We’ll certainly do this again.

Booked the class Northern Italian Duck with Chef Bobby in Leesburg

Chef Bobby is the real deal. We booked his duck class for a night in, and it turned out to be such a good time. The food was amazing. Arugula salad with dried plums to start, then orecchiette with smoked duck confit, seared duck breast with a sherry-rhubarb demi-glace, and a zabaglione with fresh berries for dessert. Every course was excellent. We’re real foodies, the kind who seek out chef tasting menus and Michelin spots whenever we can, but we’re not cooks ourselves, so getting to watch it all come together at home and actually learn something was a treat. That’s the thing about Bobby, he kept it relaxed the whole time. Talked us through every step, answered all our questions, and made the technique feel approachable without dumbing any of it down. Great conversation, no pretense, just genuinely good company. He also put up with a lot. We had our toddler running around and two big dogs who don’t know how to be quiet, and none of it fazed him. He just rolled with it, which made the whole night feel easy and fun. Can’t recommend him enough. We’re already trying to figure out when we can book him again.

Zane G. Zane G.

Booked the class South American Flavors with Chef Gustavo in Washington (Shaw)

Amazing experience overall. Made ceviche, empanadas, arepas, and quinoa salad, and everything turned out great. The chef made the class fun, relaxed, and easy to follow, even for beginners. Favorite part was trying all the different South American flavors at the end. Definitely doing another class again soon.

Booked the class Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li in McLean

Chef Li was so great! She taught us the entire process for soup dumplings...from making to dumpling dough, to the filling, to the soup. She was very attentive and I learned so much about technique and purpose. Highly recommend!!

Booked the class Paella and Spanish Tapas Workshop with Chef Jordan in Washington (Trinidad)

First time doing a cooking class and as nervous as we were it was super comfortable working with Jordan. No matter your experience he had everyone involved at every step, and we learned a lot throughout the night. I can't cook rice to save my life but now I can make paella (no big deal). We will absolutely book another class not just with this site (bc the possibilities are endless) but would love to work with Jordan again.
