It was such a fun night cooking vegan Thai food with Chef Mike. He was incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable - we had great conversation and lots of laughs! And the food was absolutely scrumptious!!! Made with fresh, quality ingredients and better and more flavourful than any restaurant. Thank you!

Mike runs the class in a fun and entertaining manner - also is a wealth of knowledge about plant-based foods and lifestyle. He was also very accommodating and worked with us on allergies, and taste preferences. Highly recommend this class and chef! We had a great time!

I booked this class for my boyfriend’s birthday and we both loved it so much! Chef Mike was incredibly warm and welcoming and he created such a lovely experience for the both of us. He is so professional and shared many great cooking tips and lots of cool stories from his impressive career. The food was to die for!! Every dish was so delicious and we can’t wait to recreate the dishes at home. My boyfriend is not normally a plant based eater, and he raved about the food. We were so impressed by the whole experience and highly recommend it to everyone who loves great food!!

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!
