WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Seattle
05/10/2025
Amazing family activity that we did together as a family for Mother’s Day. Chef and Jane put their heart and soul into hosting us in their home, and gave us a night to remember. Highly recommend!
04/29/2025
Chef Washington was so accommodating and helpful. I'd never rolled sushi or created a roll before and he was a great teacher. My partner was running late and he was flexible and made sure he was caught up and able to get the full experience. The sushi was great and the family atmosphere was very wholesome. Definitely an experience I'd recommend to anyone.
04/29/2025
The cooking class exceeded our expectations. I booked it for my husband’s bday present and Chef Dean made the whole experience very special!
Also, Chef Dean is from the same island, as my husband. He truly treated us like Ohana.
The food was AMAZING. He sent us home with all of the leftovers, so we were able to share what we had created with family.
One of the recipes in particular we’re excited to use as our go-to for family gatherings! It’s impressive but not overly complicated to make now that we’ve made it once.
Highly recommend! Thanks Chef Dean!
04/24/2025
We had the absolute pleasure of being hosted by Chef Dean for a private dinner experience to celebrate my husband’s birthday—and wow, it was beyond amazing! From start to finish, the entire evening was filled with joy, flavor, and meaningful connection.
Chef Dean is not just incredibly talented in the kitchen—he’s a natural storyteller and teacher. As he guided us in preparing each dish, he walked us through the process with such ease and passion, explaining techniques, ingredients, and even sprinkling in fascinating stories from his culinary journey. We learned so much about Asian cuisine—its diversity, cultural significance, and the personal favorites that inspire Chef Dean’s creations.
It wasn’t just a meal—it was a rich, immersive experience that left us not only full, but truly fulfilled. If you’re looking for a memorable and heartwarming culinary adventure, we can’t recommend Chef Dean enough!
