WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Washington, D.C.
COLLEEN B.
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.
Isabel K.
We had a great night! Chef Made was delightful to chat with and taught us so much about poke and sushi techniques. I would definitely recommend!
Jessica L.
We had a wonderful experience learning how to make soup dumplings, hot and sour egg drop soup and smashed cucumber salad! Chef Li was so welcoming and engaging! We enjoyed talking to the other guests as well. I would definitely do another class with Chef Li!
Petra M.
Chef Justin was an amazing instructor!!! This class was so individualized and he really paid attention to detail to provide a wonderful experience for us. The sushi was high quality, delicious, and filling! I highly recommend Chef Justin — you won’t regret it! I will be booking with him again!
