We had a great time at the Ethiopian cooking class at Chef Mike's place! It was professional but friendly and homey. We learned a lot, as Chef Mike anwered all of our questions and provided great cooking tips from his many years of experience and knowledge. The food was excellent and we feel confident we can recreate these dishes in our own home. The company of other classmates was delightful and overall it was a great night. We look forward to trying another class for another special occasion.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Chef Mike. We learned a lot from Mike he is very knowledgeable about all aspects of food, from preparation to how it benefits your gut health. He has a great sense of humour and his ability to juggle questions, multiple recipes and dishes at the same time was impressive. The dishes that we prepared were excellent in flavour, quality and quantity. Would definitely recommend.

Unbelievable experience with Chef Mike. The quality of the food was amazing and left us wanting more, which is saying something considering he prepared an absolute feast for us! The explanation of everything was thoroughly explained and Chef Mike had no hesitation in answering the many questions we asked of him and did so in such a simplistic manner. A lovely welcoming environment in which the conversation flowed and we felt like we were simply in the company of a friend, except the friend has just prepared us one of the best meals we have ever had! Looking forward to another experience with Chef Mike and will be recommending him to all my friends.

We had a great time with Chef Mike! On top of learning easy recipes (though it might have been because he was helping), the food was so good we were scrapping the plates clean. On top of that, the conversations were pleasant and he made sure we felt comfortable! I’d highly recommend taking a class with him!
