This was the best evening spent cooking! Relaxing, personable, and the most delicious food! I would have never tried these dishes - dates or beets. And they were fantastic!!! 10/10!

Chef Justin was AMAZING! He was so fun and entertaining. We had a blast cooking with him in my home to celebrate a special birthday. It was a perfect part of our girls weekend. Chef Justin- even washed the dishes while we ate! We had the Italian from Scratch menu. The food was fantastic. We would highly recommend this experience and with Chef Justin.

A unique, delicious experience and a great date night!
We had a great evening with chef Justin. He was engaging, educational, and a true professional. Not to mention, everything was absolutely delicious.
He was such a great instructor that we ended up making the meal the next week ourselves.
5/5 — would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience and a fantastic date night!

We had the most wonderful experience with Chef Justin last night. From the moment he arrived, the entire evening felt relaxed, professional, and genuinely special. He guided my husband through the process of making fresh pasta while I happily watched from the sidelines with a glass of prosecco — which honestly made it even more fun.
The food was absolutely delicious, the instruction was clear and engaging, and the whole experience felt like having a private cooking class and restaurant-quality dinner all in one. It turned an ordinary evening at home into something memorable.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique night in, a special date night, or a fun culinary experience. We learned a lot, ate very well, and would absolutely do it again!

Wow! Our lunch and learn with Chef Justin was amazing! We had so much fun in the kitchen and everyone raved about the food. What a perfect way to celebrate my staff in my home.
Chef Justin was a delight, he gave us lots of tips and inspiration and everyone wants to do it again!

Chef Justin was very personable and it was an enjoyable evening for a different experience to just going out for dinner. The reason I gave it four versus five stars is because the dessert wasn’t what was as per the menu. It was still delicious.
We only made one of the courses during the time, which was fine for what the time entailed but this is more for anyone thinking you are making everything.

Chef Justin is fantastic! Very knowledgeable, he let us pick his brain and ask questions. It was a very fun class, the food was great. We did the Italian class.
I’d highly recommend getting Chef Justin for a cooking class, or getting him for a meal or catering.
